Does anyone have a cheap Jago ?

[TFauctions]

Hi guys im new to the forum so hello.

Im looking for a cheap Jago to buy, ive loved these geeps since the early 90's when my cousin had one and always wanted one myself.

Years on and i hope to own one in the very near future !

If anybody has one or knows where i might find one cheap then id be very gratefull. Im not very clever with engine work but can take on light work if needed.

Thanks for your help.

Dave

Hello Dave
Just seen your posting....have you checked e-bay at all? (search for 'Jago' or 'Jago Jeep') There's usually something on there to buy....check first that the V5 is correct!! Also the club mag 'Transmissions' is another source of finding vehicles and parts for sale.
I'm no wizard with a spanner either, but there's usually someone on hand at the club to offer advice or to help out.
Hopefully you'll get something soon and I along with fellow JOC members welcome you aboard.
Best wishes,
Gerry

Thanks again

Hi Dave

Gerry is quite right , the most important aspect is that the vehicle is correctly registered as a Jago , you need to see the actual V5 dont just take a seller's word for it.

If you email your contact details to [e-mail] you will be sent details of how to join the club.

There are usually a few vehicles for sale within the club and this month's magazine also features an article on the subject of V5's

Cheers

Thanks for the advice, the one ive seen on ebay says its not a v5.

So that info is very welcomed, if it isnt a v5 does this means its not a Jago ?

Hi Dave

The V5 is the log book or registration document , where it says Make it should say Jago it it still says Ford and the model is Escort you will no doubt have problems when you try to change the details into your name and tax the vehicle.

The other aspect to consider is that any traffic officer following you would be most surprised to find the vehicle in front looks nothing like an Escort and want to investigate further.

New MOT legislation will soon mean your vehicle details will be checked before the test is carried out , the tester can refuse to test anything that is not as described on the DVLA database.

The information you guys have given me is very helpfull, i might have put a bid in on that if it wasnt for you guys.

Is the insurance exspensive and tax ?


Dave

[Club.Ed.TONKA]

Taxation depends on engine size , cheapest option being a 1100/1300 , unless you are lucky enough to find a Geep based on a tax exempt vehicle then they dont come any cheaper...!

For insurance try one of the specialists such as Adrian Flux.

I pay £138 F/Comp for 6000 miles a year which seems about the norm for a mature driver (ie over 25) but there are so many variables depending on each individual driver's "history" so this should only be taken as a guide.

Try this link Dave it should take you straight to the adverts page of Transmissions online.......our owners club magazine online

This is the main Transmissions website adverts page

www.transmissionsonline.org.uk/page5.htm

The other address is the old web site. I still keep it up to date as a back-up but the web host does put ads on it so I recommend members use the new one.

PS. Dave already has a wanted ad on the page.

Are you still looking for a cheap Jago?? I am thinking of selling my 1100-version on - nearly all the pre-MOT work is finished but really don't have the time to carry on right now.
