their car? i thought jags were supposed to be more reliable now! one person even advised an owner to get rid of a supposedly lead footed wife! strange- she sounds good to me!


Mechanically mine has been sound. My problem is that I spent ~12k on those lovely wheels and brakes from the UK (at the time it was actually cheaper to order the R-Option wheels from the UK vs US) and then spent another 1000 trying to get the brakes to stop squeling (they came with race pads and it was quite a pain to find someone who made less agressive pads). Then when I got that sorted out my trash company scratched the rear qtr panel and one of the wheels, then someone smashed the window to steal my radar detector. Everything is fixed and looks great, but it has just unfortunatly been a pain to own :/ On top of it (because of my rather length list of recorded speeds (though none in the Jag)) it costs $1500 to insure. While my wife's 911 is more, it has been less trouble and I won't ask her to get rid of it.
And like Justin, I have other things that I need the money for at this point.
