seen a car i like, its had a bump i know about, buts its not recorded. This could be deciding factor.

But closely checking history guy said it had full. But looks like its missed 2 services. The cars done 108k 11 services in total, new engine at 70k but up until 2003 it was high miles 100k, since 2003 to date its done 8k but only 2 services. Know these things are meant to have FSH. It has had its 110k done in april, but i think its been more serviced on Miles rather than time span.

i know from what i have read it says FSH is essential would it make much difference on a 97 car

That would make the car 9 years old, having done 110k it should have had 11 services.

Maybe I misread your post but isn't that correct?

Hi Phil

know its me, what it is car supposed to be serviced every 10k miles or yr which ever comes sooner, so up until 2003 car had done 100k, so jag said really it should have had 10 services till then taken it with miles every 10k miles, as they say some cars get serviced twice a year if high mileage. So from then with having low miles it should of then been serviced in 2004, 2005, 2006 if keeping to manufacturers guidelines. Obviously last owner has gone on miles even though low, as did not bother getting it serviced in 2004. I do not think i am explaining myself properley, this car hunting is have a serious effect on me.

With this car purchase i would have walked long ago. It must be cheap or you would not be so keen on flogging to death the idea of buying it. If it is cheap, well you know the resons why. It is an old XK with very high miles, with a new engine and has been envolved in a smash (which you said the pics look v scary) so why are you so keen on buying it???????????

Triple 7

Not seen pics of damage, i was referring to cars in general with cat d, this car is HPI clear, just that JAG had it down as having front end damage, nobody knows the extent, it could be minor. Its 12k not awfully cheap for a 97? considering mileage
