Looked and drove a 2+2 auto the other day. A person who owns &
restores older cars told me about this car - in fact he will be driving from
CT to NY to check it out & make sure it is worth buying it & of course he
will fix it for me. Person selling car opened the hood - it looked clean to us
(my husband was with me). Of course there are some (guess) minor work
to be done - back door & both side doors need to be realigned, drivers
door handle (outside) does not work from outside - need to reach in when
window is open and release from there. also, drivers side mirror needs to
be readjusted & made tighter. Paint looks ok (it is white, I will have it
repainted, but leave it the Jag white color), black leather inside (looks fine
to me), but want to change to red interior. A/C has not worked for about
1-1/2 yrs, but guess that can be fixed. Of course, i am used to driving newer cars (have a BMW Z3 & 330i) so cannot compare driving capability,
but my first car was a '70 Toyoto corolla, so remember no power steering &
since I am driving for over 30 years already, can get used to Jag's brakes.
Also, owner of car said he does not use in rain.
Of course, this car will be fun to drive & watch people's expression when
I am in it!!!
Guess you can say this is considered mid-life's toy, but instead of a male
mid=life, this is for a female's mid=life.
the mechanic going to look at it said if he sees any major problems
(i.e. frame condition) he will not let me buy it.
Please let me have any and all comments - would prefer an e-mail
(jhs96@yahoo.com)
Thanks for your help!!!!
