Just putting this out there in case anyone has one for sale, or can offer good advice.

What is the best Jag forum to use for these?

I have been looking at a few online, but when I search the MOT history it seems that some are riddled with corrosion!

I don't mind a little work, but corrosion is not something I want to contend with.

One cut and paste post that I have already read a lot of times nd a bloke asking about a diesel jag?

What do you need to spend to get a good one now??

I am thinking ultimately up to 10K!?

Between 6 and 10?

I went to look at a 1998 one that was advertised for 4750, not too bad on rust like some of them, but the paint was very scratched and there was no service history. There was no evidence of the timing chain tensioners ever having been changed or servicing, so I walked away.

There are some that look quite well looked after but they have clocked over 100k, not ideal if I ever want to sell on.

Can't even justify buying one with three other cars in the garage, but I really want one!
