xj8 how many miles is too many.

[raf dug]

I have seen a 99 v reg xj8 4.0 in the local paper in a garages add but the add just says silver xj8 full leather immaculate £11995 it doesn't mention the mileage which probably means it's high.
how many miles is too many for a v reg xj8, iwas thinking of not bothering looking at it if it's over 80000 miles, as i only do 3000 miles a year it would still be under 100,000 in 6 years time.
(i hope its done about 50,000).

Thanks for that,I will have a sneaky look at it tommorrow when the garage is shut.(its in the local citroen dealers.)

I tried to have a look yesterday but the place was all locked up and it was parked at the back all I could make out is that they must have reduced it because on the windscreen it says £12995.I will have a look today.

I have just seen it,it is absolutely gorgeous silver with 5 spoke alloys and immaculate grey leather.BUT the mileage is 93000 which coupled with the price means its overpriced for the mileage.(i have seen one with 83000 on for a grand less navy blue though)so i will keep looking,but the xj remains in my top 3 choices.(The first two are W reg audi convertible last of old shape or v reg saab convertible),but i've allways wanted an xj so i could end up with any of the 3.Thanks for your help guys

anybody know for definite when the nikasil bore problem finished.The original car in this thread is still for sale mike said I should be allright with a 99 but the guy who does my services thinks it might be a problem on cars up to 2000 but he's not sure though.
