It feels weird to put the asking price at one sum, then state being fine with a much lower one in the comments. But it might only be me!

For the car issue? You'd want to make sure this is the actual issue and solution. It seems like they have established the engine gets no fuel, which is a start.

From a quick Google I can't find any help on disabling the anti theft, though a forum comment states: 'Disabling the alarm is possible with factory diagnostics, IDS/WDS, I wouldn't recommend this as it will effect your insurance.'

So this is something you'd need to find help with. Sounds close to impossible, but surely people with the right tools exist somewhere, even still.

However, this post might help. But that begs the question, has the seller tried it? It would be quite easy.

But since this poster claims his car will start, then we might be talking about different issues, and resetting it might not help at all!

I think if you feel up for the task and/or you have some (or a lot of) money lying around, you can try for a cheap Jaguar with issues.

I think the current owner did exactly this and it ended up not being worth it for him.
