     Unfortunately I have a 750ukp a month double glazing loan to pay off! 
     It finishes in December so I will then have some spare cash to spend 
     on another project.
     
     The problem I have got is that my car could really do with a partial 
     respray. There are traces of rust along the bottom of the wings and 
     doors and a very unsightly patch just in front of the windscreen on 
     both sides. I certainly would not buy it as it stands although I have 
     seen many cars in far worse condition. It sounds worse than it 
     actually is but if I am going to get a respray done I may as well keep 
     the car for another year or two.
     
     The other nagging worry is that a late 6.0l is still at least 
     20,000ukp so there is a lot of depreciation left for someone to pick 
     up. The depreciation on mine is a lot less and I have ironed out 
     (hopefully) most of the faults now. If I could find one of the last 
     XJR-S's at a sensible price I would be tempted as I think these will 
     become sought after in years to come.
     
     I recently got picked up for speeding and will soon be the proud owner 
     of 3 points on my licence. Having been banned once already I think if 
     I bought a faster car I think I may also accumulate points faster.

> Richard, just a point ........ I too have an 89 5.3 XJ-S and 2 weeks ago 
purchased a 94 6.0 Convertible. Go and test drive a 6.0 litre when ever you can 
and I bet that you will not wait another year. O f course having the funds would
help, it took me a while but now I wouldn't sell either of them.
