Shoot, my '00 could be financed for up to $8200 by a bank. (I checked) Thank GOD I didn't pay that much, but just saying. The company is called U.S. Drive Right.

Where were all these replies when i posted to ask about RHD XJ's?

Do you happen to know what components of the steering are different than a RHD? I have a good deal on one for basically nothing, but dont wanna buy it if i'm just going to be screwed for modding it.

I wouldn't trust that set up. Looks like an accident looking for a place to happen. Just my opinion.
