See to me,I can find a reason to buy it.

This was a car to impress your neighbors a quarter-century ago. The mileage to date ... speaks volumes of its usefulness beyond that initial wow factor.

It has the same issue a contemporary S55 would - whatever the opposite of the goldilocks zone is. It’s old enough that you can get an interesting, more reliable, and equally fast SUV a decade newer for that price. But it’s not old enough to be a classic and there are a lot of shitty MLs of that generation rolling…

NP for the location and pricing. $2000 too high most other places.

That’s a conservative estimate on mileage remaining! It could do half a mil if well tended.

More corporate-speak:  It’s a solution in search of a problem.  ND.

I understand the need for a trailer on one of these, and it makes sense for them to design it to match the rear end of the car, but the repetition just looks wrong.

Yeah. I’m not seriously shopping Jags, but I can’t think of a single model in the marque’s entire history that I’d want less.

I mean... that actually wouldn’t be a completely unreasonable method to curb this style of vehicle modification. Add a maximum height to vehicles allowed to be driven without a CDL (probably at the state level), rather than just a weight limit. I could get behind that. 

I think the seller is projecting his own failures onto the car.

You have a great mechanic.  Most would have jumped at the chance to replace your O2 sensor instead of clearing the code and seeing if it would come back.  A few years back I bought an OBDII scanner that lets me reset codes.  It has paid for itself many times over.  

The license plate can get you the VIN, the VIN can get you the history.

Last Oct., I had just gotten my car back after getting a bunch of body/structural stuff done, and had gotten it inspected. Decided to take a road trip, and didn’t get more than 5 miles out of town and the check engine light came on.

I’m betting he knows more about the problem than he’s letting on.  Who moves a car across the country, gets it smogged in California and then one day when it doesn’t start, gives up with no diagnosis and sells the car?   

The only proper way to acquire this car is from your grandparent’s estate. 

Agree. No Dice votes are from people who just don’t want it. If you’re into it, it’s a good deal.

I thought the same thing- for the right person it is probably the right price. That said - good luck finding the right person

I came here to say that. At 200,ooo+ miles, any real dangerous issues should have happened already. Like spark plugs ejection or whatever. One could wrangle 5k of worth out of it.

That “Jawn Morgan” ad campaign was the absolute worst. God forbid if I ever needed a lawyer for whatever reason, I would specifically pick any other lawyer all because of that ad. 

Okay. Great. There was a period where every couple weeks, I was driving a rental car (i.e. I’ve never driven it before and have no clue how, if at all, it was maintained) on a mountain freeway with sharp curves enforced by cliffs on both sides, one up and one down, at 5 AM. Sometimes there was snow on the ground, or…
