Just was reading somewhere that a person is being offered a used XJ-220 for
$40,000
And they wanted to know if it is a good deal.

No, that's a terrible deal, and tell them they need to e-mail me immediately
with the seller's phone nuber & address so I can call the person and
personnaly reprimand them.

Its probably a salvage at that price. Going rate for one in decent shape is
$140,000 to $250,000. You see wrecked and so called "repairable" exotics
all the time selling for a fraction of their real value because some idiot
NBA player with no driving skills and way too much spending money for
someone with a 55 IQ wrapped them around a tree.
If its not a salvage, its a scam, nobobdy is stupid enough to sell an XJ220
for $40,000

It's one relative selling (uncle)to another relative (nephew), so I do not
believe it is a salvage.
I believe the uncle knows how much running and repairs costs are.
So would feel guilty if sold the car for anything more.

Thats obviously totally different, not a market sale, and akin to a gift.
The guy could turn around and sell it for three times what he paid and make
a tidy profit. Sadly, it sounds like the guy will probably run it into the
ground instead, since the uncle is concerned enough about running costs to
basically give him the car.

And I thought that my stainless steel exhaust for an XJS for £40 was a
bargain....
