[TR] Jag valuation?

[Skip Gurnee]

Tom-
I owned a 76 XJ6L, bought it about 1980.  I think my experience was typical, 
not unlike what you will have.  I LOVED that car!  BUT, it was like a 
mistress.  If you have a mistress and you treat her better than you think 
she should be treated, she will treat you better than you think you should 
be treated.  But let her down just a little bit, and she's a b***h.  A Jag 
doesn't nickel and dime you to death.  It 5 and 10 dollars you to death (in 
1980 dollars, about 1/10 of today), constantly, perpetually.  Keep that in 
mind when you're negotiating price.  Oh, and by the way, the wiring diagram 
didn't show all the wires and devices!  Caveat emptor....
Best,
Skip Gurnee
