Update
So after countless time wasters and crap offers the mighty Jag is still with me.
Ive decided to strip the car of the Springs and Spacers and sell it at a more competitive price of £19,995
Anyone interested hit me with a PM, price is pretty much FIRM.

Cheers mate took ages to get it right lol ... I've never had so many variations of Pipes tested and removed ... J, X, H, Y etc lol
I've had three different people say it sounds like a Koenigsegg when its up the revs ... so ill take that as a big compliment

That does sound good! How it's not sold though. I'm feeling your pain with utter cretins whilst trying to sell the 335i.

Most people after a fast saloon car for 20k odds automatically go for BMW MERC AUDI
Very few people go to Jaguar, most guys that have enquired about it had never seen one before or knew about them. So id say its a victim of its own exclusivity ... Ill probably have to wait either for an enthusiast or someone who stumbles across it and wants it.
The joys of the private sale, thats what your up against especially in the 20k plus bracket.

3 different people have heard your XFR and a Koenigsegg ? I've been around a lot of car collections in my day and I've only ever seen one Koenigsegg in the flesh! That's incredible!
In my opinion it would help the sale immensely if you took that exhaust off and put the standard one back on. A jaguar customer wants a quiet comfortable but fast saloon in my experience. If they wanted loud they'd buy a C63 or an M3 etc..

Sounds and looks great, if I was buying a car like that I would want to hear it. If I wanted something quiet I would buy a diesel.

Well you would assume YouTube and topgear but as usual sure you read too much into the comments ... I highly doubt they have all heard them in real life lol However one has as he saw it at the Salon Prive show. Also not to pick holes in your logic but my XFR is louder than an M3 in standard form.
Exhaust stays so that's a no brainer ...
To everyone else thanks for the kind words ... someone will get a nice car for sure.
@nobby advertised on AT PH and forums.

Thanks mate. Only person that offers that service that id use would be Stefan, however J&F group do offer it however their fees are quite high so im happy enough to just plod along myself and try it privately. Its not an necessity for it to go it would just be nice not to have something of that value on the drive when we are moving house etc.
I wasn't getting at you I think it's a really lovely car. Just trying to offer a bit of advice to help the sale. A 'usual' XFR customer will run a mile when they hear that the car has been modified as they're generally not into cars as much as you or I.
Good luck and I'm sure you you will find a buyer soon.
You could maybe give Stefan @ Performance Cars NI a shout or even Hollybrook, they both offer a sale or return service with the option of finance and both are genuine petrol heads.
Peadar.
Tell that to Rolls Royce. Diesel Jags are not fast unfortunately.

My mistake, apologies, I thought you were having a dig, in that case I appreciate the advice but the exhaust has to stay. I had to sell the stock system as it was suffering from some of the common issues they have. Also id modified it.
To be fair the exhaust has been the biggest selling/talking point of the car with potential buyers, one guy had asked me about it and said he wanted something loud. I said it was louder than stock but not deafening, he actually went on to ask could he make it louder lol I guess its all just personal preference. I have stock mid boxes from the car in the shed if anyone wants to tone it down.
Hearing it in the flesh though you would wonder why anyone would. Its a big muscle car and suits the louder tone.
Stefan doesn't know much about performance Jags so didn't really want to take it on when its not something he was clued in about. Makes sense I suppose, as he'll be putting his finance and warranty against it.

Spent all day Sunday cleaning the car and snapping some pictures with @Harry 's help and all it did was make me want to keep it. But im trying to get the sensible head on for the new house. The wife is worse than me she wants it to stay, she would borrow it the odd time for work and absolutely loves it lol

I said if I was buying a car like that.
Ok. What would you buy if you wanted something quiet and fast?
