Made a goofy trade this weekend...

[Ngtflyr]

Last week an exgirlfriend wanted me to sell her 67 Mustang coupe that I had done much of the work on during its restoration about 5 yrs ago. The Stang had its original numbers matching 289, manual 3spd, rear, was painted it's original Frost Turqoise color. The car was fun to drive but kind of like being seen with your sister when you were a kid given the color and it being a Ford and all. Within four days I got an offer I liked, a guy down the street offered a straight across trade for a 97 XK8 Convertible Jag that he paid $20,000 for a little over two years ago, current value is a little north of $10K. My current girlfriend was looking for a convertible for the weekends and it was love at first sight when she saw it. I was a little hesitant since I don't know anything about these cars and figure reliablity isnt all that great. It has about any option you can put on a car, the paint is absolutely beautiful, the interior is in pretty good shape and it runs like a top. It's original sticker was insane, $69,900. Anyone here familar with Jags? Anyway I am into it for $6500, the girlfriend is happy and she will pay for any repairs. Should be a fun car for a couple years.
