Been offered a 2.5v6 jag 2003 for £500. Any good?
Discussion
Dont know alot about it. Quite nice trim with full leather and only 60 k milles. Its got a full ticket but no tax.
So really i cant afford to run it properly. But think summer toy for beaches pre any deployments apart from olympics then get rid.
Any advice on these as i know f all about them. Are they good?
Thankss

Why is it only £500?
Cos its thirsty and he wants rid. He offered it to me for that as hes ex forces and thought i might enjoy it over the summer. Tbh if he says its. A good motor, its sound. I just wanted advice on these cars. Also to note. This would be used for beach runs for 4 or very ocasionally 5 blokes and similar nights out to clubs etc... Tbh im assuming it will be a nicer funner drive than my diesel megane. Just wanted your guys advice.

If it's 500 quid with a long MOT what's the worst that can happen? It'll be worth a few hundred quid scrap anyway
What model is it? S-type, X-type (read Mondeo I believe
)
X type. If its just a mondeo ill give it a miss. I quite faniced driving someone a bit more fun for a few months, but a petrol mindeo isnt my idea of this. Thanks, If it's 500 quid with a long MOT what's the worst that can happen? It'll be worth a few hundred quid scrap anyway

)If it's only £500 I'd rather suspect the AWD transfer box is about to fall apart, or autobox unless it's manual, but if it's not making nasty noises or leaking then buy it and enjoy a spot of Jagness. It's nothing like a Mondeo to drive, don't listen to people who spout internet b

It's a decent place to sit too. I've had my 3.0 the larger part of 2 years and love it.
Service parts are cheap (Ford) which makes it cheap to keep on the road and it's fairly easy to work on.
Plenty of them in breakers for other items.
Do it

If its someone you know and and you are confident the car is good, then get it bought, or send him my way.
Its not the most popular car in the world, for various reasons, but for £500 you could run it for while with no cost or even a small profit less, the running costs of course.
If its AWD, and the tyres need changing as winter is looming, get some second hand winters on it, and you could find quite strong market for a cheap AWD car with winters already fitted. Or keep it yourself for that exact reason.

A mate of ours has one that's just about to hit 200,000 miles, runs very well indeed he says. It's needed nothing more than tyres, servicing, brake pads/discs and a few bushes here and there. Althougb having said he did say the aircon had a leak in it and wasn't working but for that mileage that's not bad!
