What do you think?

Somebody wants to swap this

for my 1998 XKR. What do you reckon?

[WEHGuy]

He's wants a cruiser for long journeys and I am just going to sell the Skyline anyway. I haven't had much interest in the XKR so, thought it might be around about way of getting the cash.

[WEHGuy]

Do you think the Skyline will be easier to sell?

[Caulkhead]

Well, you either like that sort of thing or you don't. It's a bit 'McD car park on a Saturday night' for me and I'd stick with the XK, but you may feel differently.

Don't think i would want a heavily modified Skyline to try to sell.

Stick with the Jag .

I'd stick with the XKR. At least you have a known quantity that way. With a modified older car, you could be buying into a world of pain if you don't know exactly what to look for. Can't imagine the Skyline being any easier to sell either (probably a more niche market if anything).

I would put your shoes in the owner. This guy has spent tons on modding his car, so he's simply going to swap it for something else because he wants a comfortable cruiser? Why doesn't he buy a cheap shed? Surely even a peasant-spec supermini like a 106 would be more comfortable?

There must be something about his car that he doesn't like, or is fed up with, that makes him want to be willing to swap.

just thinking about the other side of things.

I have been trying to sell the XKR for a few months and have only had 3 serious enquiries. I priced it at £7k, £6.5k and then £6k, which I think is very cheap. It is in above average condition, 86k miles and FSH.

If you've been trying to sell it for a few months, then it's not "very cheap".

It's only worth what someone will pay, and from what you've said, it's not worth what you're asking.

OK.

"compared to other XKR's on the market"

How will it look to potential buyers of the Skyline when they see you are selling it as soon as you got it?
Its all well and good being honest and saying you took it in part ex, but personally if a seller said that to me it would put me off.
You may as well stick with what you've already got and sell that.
If he wants your Jag that much, tell him to sell the Skyline and buy it

Where are you advertising your XKR? Just had a look for £5-£7k XKRs in the PH classifieds and on Autotrader and couldn't find a car that matched your description of mileage and condition.
