 I recently bought an 87 XJSC for $11500, V12 5.3L, 46000 Miles,
excellent condition, but needs the usual shocks, bushings, and ball
joints. The guy was the second owner and it was always garaged.
 Prior to this one I fell in love with an 88 XJSC with 46000 miles at a
dealer in Virginia. They wanted $24000, somthing about rare and
maintained by the dealer. After 2 monts on the lot it was down to
$18000, but they can have it for that money.
 My advise to you would be to keep looking. There are a lot out there
and with the internet they are very accesible.

Good luck
