xjr 6 pot purchase...

[biggbn]

iv been offfered what seems like a very cheap xjr...it has 127k and a fsh, drives perfectly...i have heard the 6 cylinder models are pretty bomproof..should i be worried about the mileage with the supercharger???...it would have to cover 300 miles a week in all conditions so i diont wanna buy a pup!!..anything else to look out for on these cars.....i currently own a 20vt coupe fiat, but if the jag is as good as the guy claims, i fancy a swap!!

how disastrous is the fuel consumption on these beasties..is 20mpg acheiveable with a light foot....iv owned several jags and am a huge fan, never had an 'r' though....any advice greatky apprecaited..

20 mpg, you will need cotton wool on your shoes. Most of my mileage is M-Way and thats about what I get. Town driving about 15 if your lucky. Well worth it though.
