Ok , called the "old lady" (no joke, it's an old ladys car) she has it since 1976.
***yes I know about the old lady thread*** but this old lady is taking care of this cat.
She as the history from 1985/6, because she made a clean-up (she regret having done it now) of some receipts when moving from someware west.
To summarize, after every ibernation, she had everything checked an tuned at a jaguar specialist. that is my understanding from the phone transcripts.
When something failed, she got it fix right away (looks like a ¢omfortable$ 70ish couple).
We talked price and she toled me she had a price that she would not go under, she was nice enough to tel me that price.
The price was to high and I said that I was not in the market at that price. She asked me how much I think it's value was?
Before giving the price, I explaned to the lady what I had done to arrive at that price ie; price guides, telling what category the car was in from my observation tusday etc...
She thanked me for having done the research and that she would accept my offer on monday if nothing happens during the weekend.
I still have a test drive, another inspection and a mecanical certification to do.
Lets just say that I would pay 70% on her 2004 insurance appraisial and near "dead on" from the guides.
Will give you the prices later next week........IF YOU WANT THEM
Remember this car as only 62K milles!
I hope I wont kick myself in the head in one month.......
Ho, and the repray was done on bare metal in 86 and there is not one bubble in site. Will recheck that, if/when.
