Always prefer a phone call as a 19 year old buying cars than negotiating via market place. People always more willing to do a deal if you are standing in front of them. I have respect for the way you go about offering em lower ish.

[@FK2VtecTurbo]

It's often overlooked but the Jaguar XFR with a 500hp supercharged V8 can be had for well under budget, 10k gets you a nice one!

[@dadcars]

I had been looking at these for a while :)

[@jameshogg601]

Absolutely fantastic car

The XJ looks amazing, shame about the price. You buy an old Range Rover but you're nervous about a Gran Tourismo? Go for it.

Always remember Clarkson racing the sun and he was leaving a roundabout on the A30 sideways in one of these. Proper sleeper.

[@bazzatheking3155]

This caused me to go watch the Clarkson clip again! Well worth it! Thanks for the prompt!

[@scottporter2513]

It doesn’t have 4 seats or a V8 but I recently bought a 987 Boxster S for under £10k. Really underrated car. I’m loving it and my kids want to be driven wherever they’re going in it too! I love the concept of this channel but for us dads that already have a family-friendly daily, there are plenty of exciting 2-seat options out there at the moment for good prices too.

[@flowetti]

If you want a v10 you could always look to try and find a s6 rather than an rs6 still a very capable car

[@dadcars]

Yeah I got offered on actually, I’d love to review one

It reminds me ReDriven's review of the GT. The host fell in love with it utterly (it's always funny seeing the part in he drives the car).

Awesome Ben!! A GranTurismo S is the perfect trading down car from the GranSport (we all know the GranSport is the better car 😜). Jokes aside, a 4.7 GranTurismo for £10k would be unbelievable! I eagerly await the next video

[@dadcars]

🙌😊 I’ll be brutally honest about it

[@Project40Cars]

£10k is a steal for a GT 🎉

[@twowheelsoneleg5672]

Great episode, looking forward to seeing how it pans out. A pal has just bought a Quattroporte which also seem good value at the moment

[@dadcars]

They are incredible value 👌😎

[@julianlord2697]

I saw a Jag XJ recently at a well known dealer in Somerset with higher mileage but stunning for 7k. You have to be careful with the timing chains and general condition and it needs regular oil changes. Fortunately big Jag owners tend to be fastiduous. Could be the best car you ever had.

[@jamest5149]

I think Jaguar are the first of many to rebrand as car manufacturers go full ev. ev’s are going to be more about style, gone are the days of 4 cyl, V8’s, V12’s, and flat-plane cranks and ITB’s giving the car a soul, a unique feel, sound and performance, with an e.v, just turn up the amps if you want more power or fit another motor… it will be all about the colour, vegan ‘leather’ and sent module… so like jaguar, car manufacturers will turn into style brands.

[@JonWhitworth]

Mate, that could be the deal of the century! Either way it’s going to be compelling viewing! I’d like to get back into a Porsche and I’ve developed a thing for the Panamera. I think I’d push for an 4s for that budget, but that’d all go out of the window if a 4.7 GT fell in my lap! About 2 months since the QP left here now and although I miss the sound, I don’t miss the frequent visits to the petrol station 😂

[@oggie1967]

Well, im shocked! I genuinely thought the Jaaaaag guy would fold! Jesus Ben,brave step going 10K on a Gran Turismo! I considered one at the same time as i was looking at Astons but after seeing the video of your friends one and what he had spent, i chickened out and bought a DB9 instead. On a side note, you got to watch those 4.2 V8 audi engines, My S4 cabriolet was a beautiful car in fantastic nick until the timing chains started chattering. Thet are at the rear of the engine and it has to come out to replace them so beware! Cant wait to see the Maserati though! Grab a big handful of bravery pills and go for it!👍👏👏👏♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hi Ben , if you are looking for a jag, I have mine, I been thinking to sell it it’s an XJR 4.2 2006 black on black absolutely amazing piece of machine it’s had over 20k spent in last 3 years in a recommission program to bring it up to date on maintenances and I’m glad to tell you that you will have many years ahead without any kind of problem, if your interested please chime in I’ll gladly help 😊

I’ll never own a SUV as my dad car but I loved the turbo I reviewed on the channel early 🙌

[@stephenlane9168]

@ fair enough Ben. You had a SUV in the X5 albeit your wife’s car. I’ve got four kids, sometimes you have to make difficult choices for practicality reasons. I ended up in NZ with a Range Rover L320 a MPV for family hauling and dairy drivers like Mercedes and Toyotas. I’m in UK now, working, with family back in NZ so I’ve even able to have any cars of my choice. Short term at least.

[@joe5y]

I agree, a Cayenne S Gen 1.5, specifically in silver over black would be amazing!

[@stephenlane9168]

@ excellent suggestion. Like that 👌🙏👏
