If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

That would look downright menacing with the grille and window trim blacked out.

Retail? They are all over the place. It is crazy.

Wholesale? A lot lower.

One of the nearby neighbours, who is a car collector / hoarder, recently added this to his fleet, in white though.

Does that "R" (on steering wheel) mean 5.0l supercharged engine?

No deal. Next one.  :'(

They want $45k for it. Overpaying to get the customer into a new vehicle.

I would have comitted if it was in the 20s.

with these things, there is quite a spread in wholesale values. Rare car does not help that at all.

This XJ R-L is the only time on this forum where the word "Boss!" is truly applicable.

Sucks it didn't work out.

On another note, you were really expecting $10k+ on trade-in (wholesale) for a first-gen IS? Regardless of condition?

I wa not expecting it, hoping. Never got numbers so no point in speculating. Will sell privately most likely when the time comes.

I've seen the manual tranny ones go for that....

We've been offered what I consider silly money for our manual tranny IS300 with 400k on it...
