I Bought A Cheap Supercharged Jaguar XKR At A UK Car Auction!

[@darrengent-mn7rw]

Hi joe , this was my brothers car his name was Mitch Harris he leased it from new from jaguar Northampton and he died suddenly in 2015 that car was amazing and i have so many memories in that car , so nice to see it i wish i had the money i would come and get it . U do a great job on ur channel, keep it up .

[@kelvinnoden3057]

Wow so sad man 😢

[@Calvi36]

Huge congratulations on 75k subs Joe, it is very well deserved.

[@bmpowellicio]

My wife has the 300hp version which we are driving from Wales to Vienna next week. It is the convertible model, but there is plenty of room for six cabin bags and a medium suitcase. Its been with us six years and still gets the thumbs up from us, and passers-by. Light upholstery is essential for every convertible, whatever make, but especially a Jaguar, so you can revel in the superb leather craftsmanship. A grand tourer with style, don't hesitate.

[@satoshi1-21]

Worked for Jaguar years ago and the XKR superchaged was my go to in the pool cars, great video and enjoying seeing some older higher end cars on BM.

[@wolfgangezeh5021]

First time I am hearing that logic: "profit is made when you buy"! After your explanation, the penny dropped.

[@amazulu3401]

Richard Rawling at Gas Monkey Garage coined the phrase years ago.

[@LukaFontain]

I like that you’re just buying what you like. It would’t be the same if you went to BCA every week to pick up a Nissan Qushqie

[@Kingdonnerkebab]

That makes the RS5 sound like a hairdryer. Love it Joe !

[@markbrisbane8929]

Just sold my 4.2 XJ these cars if you can get the right one are a joy to own a real head turner and forever getting compliments from my neighbours! Hold on why did I sell it 🤦‍♂️🤣

[@grahamskinner6240]

Great cars, I have 2008 xkr for over 6 years 61000 miles no trouble, had rear subframe treated as surface rust but nothing else, really want a aston v8 but cannot bring myself to sell the jag.

[@parasinthephilippines]

Own a 2004 XKR here in Dubai. Regularly see people posing with it and also get challenged by other super cars on the Sheik Zayed Road. I'd buy that one in a heartbeat.

[@johnbrown3471]

On the rare occasion I had to leave a proxy bid at BCA I miraculously always won the car at the exact amount of my bid. I wouldn't trust BCA as far as I could throw them. The media center fault missing from the report is another example of how the company cons it's customers. No doubt it was covered in their disclaimer regarding grading.

[@Micky8791]

Brilliant video. Completely agree regarding the R over the XK! Totally different animal. I made the same error while starting the jag first time. Unlike a BMW, etc, where you just give the start button a quick press and off it goes, you have to actually hold the button down while the starter turns over and release when you hear the v8 roar. It adds to the drama 😁👍

[@scotty6346]

I love these XKR;s, Such a rare sight on the roads these days, Pretty sure the Bodyshell is aluminium so hopefully no corrosion issues apart from the bolt on steel subframes as you said Joe, Only weak point i know about on these V8's is the timing chain tensioners and guides but i think that was on the previous XK model?

[@pzmcgowan]

Have you noticed that the START/STOP button flashes at 72 beats per minute? That is also the resting heart rate of a real life jaguar.

[@skodakatie7341]

That car sounds awesome, it looks great too, well done Joe, hopefully this will earn a decent profit. The only downside being the VED, £735 is ridiculous. Great content as always❤.

[@Afraz_9n3]

I see you on every video I watch lol😂we must have all the same subscriptions

[@johnkershaw8845]

I have had 4 XKs/XKRs and they are a much underrated supercar. So much car for your money, not insane to run, look so pretty and no one thinks you're an arsehole :)

[@BarryRudge]

If its anything like replacing the front subframe on an ZJ6 or XJS your are looking at the best part of £1k plus VAT without fitting and any other bits that might be required.

[@ShiftingMetal]

@@BarryRudge lucky there’s a massive margin then

[@toffeepie1878]

I have a 2009 XKR-S, 4.2..I doubt you will get a subframe fitted for a thousand pounds fitted. Parts are extremely expensive, transmission fluid, coolant and oil also needs done and brake fluid and discs. They are absolutely monsters so you can get a new Ford fiesta or get this thing sorted

[@BarryRudge]

@@toffeepie1878 Please read my comment correctly I said Sub frame plus VAT to purchase the item, that excludes labour costs and any other associated parts i.e. a set of four mounting brackets will cost around £200. I think the last sub frame I purchased was around £948 plus VAT.

[@toffeepie1878]

@@BarryRudge I have a XKRS I know how much these things cost to fix up, a subframe on these is a substantial repair and it's likely other suspension parts will also be required - I would have £1500 at hand for such a job, at the bare minimum. Having said that I wouldn't hesitate to get the work done because they are such a great car to own and much more special than run of the mill rubbish you see on the road everyday

[@jerryjohnsonwright5251]

Glad to see that you put E5 super unleaded in it 😀

[@JohnHoganN8]

Always wanted one of these but embarrisngly it is my ability to get in and out regularly that makes it impractical. Getting old sucks! 😂

[@thomasharris5151]

😂

[@DaDa-David]

CAR PORN - that exhaust...Pwoarrr!

[@leonb2637]

Now that is real Jaguar. One sexy beast on the outside, awesome leather inside, powerful engine with a sound only a V-8 can produce.

[@andynightingale7335]

Great fun little video. Loved Rob getting excited and running with the booster pack! Nice summer car that one, possibly a future classic ?

[@michaelcrompton68]

You’ve got some stones on you that’s for sure. Try disconnecting the battery for an hour (I didn’t leave it that long) and see if the screen comes on. I smoked Jags round for a few years, one of them had the dead screen thing. On the way back from buying it from Brighouse I disconnected the battery and it all came back on. It would do it every 9 months or so. Just seen it was an amp, at least it’s fixed 👍

[@LukaFontain]

On a driving experience day, I was driving a lambo gallardo, it started to rain, I came round a corner and the bloke in front of me had just blonked one of these into the barrier 😅

[@jennyetherington3326]

Shifting V8's I would love to sell cars at a dealer. Been in the motor industry 31 years from workshop to Recovery. Love watching Joe

[@steveegginton535]

The XKR looks gorgeous and sounds brilliant and I imagine are great to drive - a lot of car for the money - I could be seriously tempted! The engine is said to be pretty reliable some say better than 5.0 V6 fitted in later models.

[@italsounds001]

I had the same XKR, got it during the “C” times, 12k, it was low mileage and had a bespoke cherry red interior that the first owner paid 6k to have re-trimmed a week after collection! I removed the exhaust mid-boxes to make it proper asbo grandad spec 😂 and had some of the chrome bits painted and wrapped black, changed the front grilles for a later style black version, sold for 15k after a year ownership, nice cars 👍

[@digbyranford6657]

Absolute monster , I think the 5.0 is even more savage.

[@londislagerhound]

Somerset boy here, nice to see such a decent channel in my neck of the woods.

[@AndrewAHayes]

I wouldnt mind a modern Jag, I used to drive an XJS and loved it but the petrol bills were enormous!

[@henrykravitz468]

Great looking car, sounds great. Congratulations on 76k subs

[@S-u-p-a]

Toby if your screen does not come on the screen is same as an 08 Xf for £12 Vs. 700 for an xk one. In case this is still an issue.

[@charlesglover6222]

Absolutely spot on about buying to sell.... great advice

[@aldershotcoinclub]

"ASBO grandad " 😂

[@BazDeeWren]

I Absolutely love watching the way you are developing the business.

[@hunnyboo17]

I agree with everything you’ve said on this vlog James. It’s appalling what’s happened to you. For a while now I keep seeing the words ‘Unalive’ and ‘unalived’ and the penny’s just dropped after watching this it’s obviously being used instead of the ‘D’ word. I love you and Helen so don’t EVER change. Two lovely people bringing joy and laughter into an old lady’s living room 💖💕💖

[@bryanadams4436]

Cracking podcast as usual Joe well done on the 75k subs

[@pgr3290]

I drove a later one with the supercharged 5 litre. It had a little work done, pulley, map etc and pushed out 650bhp. It seemed so calm and civilized cruising along, nice ZF auto around town. Then when you let rip it was evidently like a monstrous dinosaur waking up. Terrifying. Completely overwhelmed the rear wheels. Way too much power for the traction it had.

[@Nicknofish]

Proper motor, Joe. only a v8, makes me grin from ear to ear! Sadly, I can't afford one. 😢 cheers, great video, as always.

[@rotty66]

Had a 5.0 XKR convertible many years ago, lovely car

[@gunner4lifeng]

I have a full . wild cat (arden) aj20 body kit for one of these . I manged to get it clearing a body shop out for the land lord after he evicted the tenant. Ive always kept it, as i hope to acquire one soon. once ive finished my mk2 capri restoration or get more space in my work shop . Probably the best jag made? bar the xj v12 .

[@davidroberts3914]

Fantastic car Joe, well i'd have to say that because i have the same car as a daily drive, mine is in silver and i love it

[@shaunbaker1972]

Great car what was that dogey wireing under the bonnet

Great video I see car traders / you tubers have go to cars like Calvin car diary had his VAG/bmw cars and yours is jag/rangerover which it amazing 🤩

Great video, and what a good mix of videos on the channel

[@liamegan4303]

Hi Joe. Well done again for bagging another nice motor. It's a lot of car for what you paid for it. Hopefully, it will Sell with no bother. Thank's Joe. I do like a good Auction video. 👍 💯👏👏🇮🇪

[@richardautenzio8117]

Good video. Not just about how clever or not clever you are for buying the cheapest and fastest over engineered sports car around.

The alloys are wrong for this year. They are off a later model.

[@steviehandsome4712]

The equivalent would be double the price at least in the states, but obviously Jaguar is a domestic car for you I suppose. I would love to pick one of these up for $7500

Nice car - certainly suits the ASBO grandad

In shock you did not give it an Oil change etc....

Nice motor what a tool. Ie rockit I'm sure you buy these so you can Rag them around lol 😂 I'm surprised these sell the cost to run them. Let alone Tax and maintain them. Sounds great. Also with all the former keepers etc. But no doubt you know what your doing.

Heavy metal has a specialised buyer, or a gippo finance company to sell. In your case, I’ll go with the latter…

How was the jag in Germany there mate

[@chrisaris8756]

Look after it and hang on for a while they are starting to go up in value. Soft suspension? Did you put it in dynamic mode?

[@ianhortonplant]

That model only had Sport mode. The suspension is the CATS system which monitors speed, cornering etc but you can't change it's settings.
