My parents are getting me (kind of, not really mine but I will use it the most) a car. We decided on this Jaguar, but I want to make sure it's not a rip-off. Let's assume this car is in good condition and will last. Is it a rip-off?

I'm not a fan of the color but it's a very nice car. Looks to be in great condition.

The price is rather low for a 2004, especially since it has the bigger of the two available engines, and appears to be in good condition with somewhat low mileage. It's not *suspiciously* low, though, since I'd say the average price for a 2004 X-Type would be around $14,000. You're likely just getting a good deal, but be a little wary about it.

idk if i would want that like it just looks like an old ladys car. seriously if your in that price range consider your options. like I was in the same boat as you in a similar price range and I settled on just buying a brand new car instead.

The new models are nice, but the X- and S-Type are such girly cars. If any guy I knew had an X-Type I would make fun of them relentlessly. :P

The insurance on that won't be bad. It's not worth a ton (anymore), isn't fast, is a sedan, and they don't get stolen often. It has everything going in his favor.

You should get the car completely checked out by your mechanic or a company that does pre-purchase inspections before you purchase it.

Haha that's fine I'm not that self-conscious about what I drive. Would the dealer even allow that?

If I were you, I'd want to check the car with my own eyes first just incase. Maybe even test it to see if it runs smoothly.

Haha I'll do this for sure, I'm not gonna buy a car without trying it out. But as for the mechanic, I'm not so sure the seller would be down with that,..

There are companies that come to the dealership and do inspections.

Would the dealer even allow that?

There are companies that will come to the dealership and do complete inspections. When I bought my used BMW the dealer said I could hire a company that comes to the dealership or I could take it to the mechanic around the block because it was close by. He wouldn't let me take it to any mechanic I wanted to though. So when you go to do the test drive, ask the dealership if they allow for someone to come in and inspect the car.

I would be wary of this deal as well. Pay the money to have a good mechanic look it over first -if they do not want to let you take it to one, have them meet you at one

Its about a $12K car. Ive seen several for sale for about 10k-11K though so yeah that's a reasonable deal. Very solid looking car though have fun picking up some chicks.
