Hi, all! I'm new.
By following some advice on these forums, I decided to look at a 1996 XJR here in atlantic canada:
http://newbrunswick.kijiji.ca/c-car...6-Jaguar-XJR-leather-Sedan-W0QQAdIdZ288494622
Anything I should be aware of before getting into this baby?
I don't mind fixing a few things by myself - I swapped a radiator, fixed some door problems, but I am not a mechanic and can't fix things like brakes, suspension or anything that requires special mechanic tools/lifts/equipment.
So I am just wandering if I will be able to afford the repairs, since my current car (honda civic 01') currently runs me about only $500/year on average, if that much.
I really like the car, and it is what I am looking for - luxury older car, I don't care about mpg as I don't drive a lot, but sometimes would like to take it on long trips on the highway (without all the noise of wind + engine like i get in my civic).
But feel like i might be getting over my head a bit... someone stop me!
