  • This is the fifth part of my Jaguar X-type resurrection series where i am trying hard to breathe fresh life into a 2008 X-type that i bought sight unseen from auction.
    In this episode I give the Jag it's final exterior detail, an interior valet and also get it ready for MOT....but will it pass?

    What a transformation ! Thanks for rescuing an X-Type. I have had an 08 2.0D S (base model) saloon for nine years so there must be something appealing about it...mine has the same problem with the side window weatherstrips bubbling up. I just looked on SNG Barratt's site and they're still available under 'door outer waist seals' but 70 quid a piece 😖

    • @JohnnyGetsCash
      @JohnnyGetsCash  2 місяці тому

    Top job on the Jag Johnny. It looks great.I don't think the fact you couldn't find replacement seals, makes any difference to how it looks for its age or the price you will sell it for.You really have left your mark on this car through hard work & graft. Whoever ends up with this Jag, is getting a lovely car especially for £3500. Thanks for vlog & look forward to seeing what you have lined up next. All the best 👍🏻

    I was watching this final Jaguar estate, I am a courier and right now drive an Audi A6 2.7TDI its a fab car fast full leather but its really getting close to requiring some work..
    There are no two cars the same but in terms of starting conditions they both had a close match, mine is minor light scratching, I was disappointed with the valet the car received interior looked good, but engine bay left a lot to be desired.
    The roads around England and Wales are sadly not worth the road tax we pay.. But my suspension could be described as tired oh and a wheel bearing does need changing.. Plus two tyres I paid £400 for Avon ZV7's a set of 4 three are still on car..
    Right I have been looking for a newer car mine is 07 with 192.000 which I feel is nothing on Audi and hold there values..I can just keep the car and just do enough to keep car happy.
    I've looked at newer Audi A6 3.0 and 2.7 around £5000 -£6000
    Mondeo Titanium 2.2 estate around 63 plate £4500.
    So how much would you offer me for my car and how much cash for yours..?
    So far I have considered having all the suspension replaced £800 with a brand new set of tyres £500 and do the wheel bearing as standard.
    Oh I own a burgundy 4.0 jaguar Sovereign 2001.

    • @JohnnyGetsCash
      @JohnnyGetsCash  2 місяці тому

      That’s a tough one. If you know the car well and have had it for a while it’s always tempting to spend the money and make it right / keep using it as selling it with the issues will mean that it doesn’t have a great deal of value, but to rectify the problems will cost money and at that stage you may as well keep it! Ultimately it comes down to whether you feel that once the work is done, will there be anything else needing attention still and will the car continue to service your needs. It is certainly a bit of a dilemma!

    • @JohnnyGetsCash
      @JohnnyGetsCash  2 місяці тому +1

      As long as you’re registered with the auction house, you can bid! That can drive prices up when retail punters decide to buy from auction though as they can justify giving more than those of us in the trade (who have to rectify issues and retail a car), but that’s the state of the game these days so we’ve just got to keep moving forward!

      Absolutely! Chop To The Top is ongoing but as it’s a ‘down time’ project for me episodes can take a while to create and release (especially when the workshop is busy). The next episode where I reveal costs / profits on the double deal from last episode (Mondeo ST / Range Rover) is due to release sometime in the next month or two & I will also shown what I have bought to move forward with 👍
