My bro in law is considering offloading his XJ600n and replacing it with something newer for his commute.
He realises it won't be worth a huge amount but only has 30 something thousand miles on it. Has been told the calipers will need serious overhaul / replacing in near future, and has also had a couple of electrical issues and the good ole clutch rattle. He also had a problem with a couple of splits in the downpipes, which he has had welded.
Question is, is he better off selling as a project or breaking it?
Anyone interested? He lives near Fareham. Let me know if so, and I will put you in touch.
Cheers
Dave

He *might* be better off financially by breaking it. All depends if he's got the time & space to do so, & doesn't mind lots of unwanted bits hanging around. Good nick wheels, exhausts, seat, tank etc sell well enough. The rest less so.
You should ask him what his expectations are for a sale as a whole.

Easily within your budget mate, would you like me to make an offer on your behalf? |
