I was very similar to this, looking my first v8 for a family of 4. I was dead set on it being a jaguar xfr. I then got reminded of the vauxhall monaro....that was then the one I wanted, 6.0ltr v8 😍 Problem was that there weren't many around for sale. Finally got one for £11k.....one of the best sounding cars ever! No silly gimmicks in it, just a bog standard no frills car that just wants to spin those back wheels. The jag would have been better as its more modern and upmarket but the monaro just makes me smile. Looking at it, hearing it, driving it and looking at people faces as it rumbles past them 👌

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.

Probably like all on here watching Ben (great channel) I like to try different performance/interesting cars (currently on number 47). I wanted todo the NC500 with the wife and kids this year. Couldn’t ignore the XJ Supersport, mine is 2011, 70k, FSH and I paid around your budget (it had some issues that I knew about but drove fine) so spent from Jan to July getting it ready it ready for the trip and it was brilliant! Fast, amazingly comfortable and not bad on fuel! Over the 1000 or so miles it did 33mpg.

I had a Maserati Coupe, low-speed collision, and insurance offered double what I paid for it... I was doing some house renovations and I did need some money... took the cash, and bought a V6 XJ6 2005, £2.5k. I was happy for 9 months, but like you, I got the itchy feet and wanted a V8. So, I have been looking for a Quattroporte 4.7 on the advice of JayEm to avoid the 4.2 can variator issue... however, I was offered an S4 avant with the 4.2 V8 and tiptronic box for silly money. So, I am sort of in between. I'm not an Audi guy, I haven't warmed to the car... Milltek exhaust two weeks' time to see if that will scratch the itch, BUT I have Quattroporte on search alerts to find the right one... it's so complicated. I now have a V6 XJ and the S4, but.... Italian exhaust note from a flat plane crank... can the Audi save me, or will I be on the hunt?

Fantastic work! XK's are much worse value than these, XFR's rarely as much of a bargain. I ran two XFR in a row for 9 years and loved them, and the XJR was one of the possible replacements - had I still been doing the regular long trips - UK and Europe - I'd have gone that way. These Supersports fly under the radar and they and XJR's are incredibly light for their size (lighter than an XFR I believe)... Just beware the timing chain issues on the engines, change them if they get noisy! Incidentally I now have a Giulia Quad and while much about it is amazing, I miss the character of the Jag 5.0SC engine - it is one of THE great engines out there right now and I hope to have more. ideally in an F Type one day.

I'm always looking at V8's whether that Audi's, Maserati's or Jags, a good KZbin follow is M539 Restorations, he's just rebuilt a Maserati engine (twice!). Love the XJ - if you can get one after 2013 as they seem to have rusting problems around the sun roof gutter, the XFR is prettier but not really roomy enough in the back for you, good luck with your new car.

For £10k, I'd get an XFR or XJ 5L. Incredible cars and fewer huge expense risks than equivalent German cars. I've owned a V10 M5, a W211 E55AMG and currently have a C6 RS6. Things like brakes on the Germans, up to and beyond £1000 per brake disc (not ceramic) and suspension systems, such as Airmatic, ABC, DSC that cost a fortune to resolve. And the SBC braking system on the Mercs can be a nightmare. Any 500bhp car at £10k could throw you an eye watering bill, the Germans just have more eye watering bills to choose from. Whatever you buy, do your research and know what to look for.

Recently sold my 4.7 Gt - had for two years and never really had any issues. Amazing car to drive for the $. I think you just have to have right attitude about maintenance and repairs- meaning you have to maintain it like a 10k car and not a 100k car. You simply can’t sink a lot of $$ into it and only do absolutely necessary repairs and maintenance to keep it running and nothing else- just live with minor imperfections and problems. If you try to fix every imperfection or even “recommend” repair it will bankrupt you

Man maths ahoy!! I love this idea, I ran some right shi77ers as a dad car! Have you had an E38 7 series yet? They are amazing anyway, but sublime for young kids. They sleep so well in the back.

Love the Gran Turismo. Jag XFR's are tempting at this price point but the only problem is that the facelift ones are out of reach and look so much better than the originals. Lots of tempting S5's at that budget but i'd still be tempted to do something stupid and go full Ronin with an S8 V10.

Yeah I’d love to review a v10 S8, I will get a V10 within the next few years I am sure of it :)

Yeah the only other thing I thought about after is that the jag is very similar to my wife’s l405 Range Rover! 🤷‍♂️

At 10k that’s a big brave pill but I hope it works out. I have a Sport and the parts prices are ridiculous really. The noise is immense and the bit that keeps me happy 😊

Jag XJR or Quattroporte for 10k for me. As much as I love the XJR it always looks a bit top heavy to me from the side profile regardless of wheel size.

The X100 or 150? I genuinely think the X100 is one of the most beautiful machines of the last 25 years. I don't love the way the early X150's look, but the facelift is so smooth.

You thought of a monaro? I would say VXR8, but the price of those are nuts. Also, why not look for an XFR instead of an XJR?

@ 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.

Hi Ben, with that Jag and its mileage question... A lot of modernise cars have loads of electronic modules that also note down mileages. Is it worth asking a main dealer if it would be possible to verify a car's mileage electronically? In which case you could still be onto a cracking deal! & won't any other MOTs and the odometer confirm the accuracy of the stated mileage??

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.
