Is it a dream?
I have found a really nice 2002 S-Type that I am giving consideration to purchasing. My concern is that we drive 800 miles/week to work and back. About 90% of this is highway mileage, not stop and go inner-city driving. I am confident the ride would be heavenly in the S-Type but I am not convinced this is really a highway car. I just don't see that many on the roads except around town and would sure hate to have my dream to only see it parked in a shop somewhere rather than taking me to work everyday.
Can someone comment on how reliable my dream would be under these conditions? Does anyone drive one this many miles a year without major mechanical issues? Yes, my practical side is showing - sorry!
Thanks for any help

RE: Is it a dream?
Well I got my Jaguar about 2 months ago and put about 2,000 miles on it so far. I bought the car with 71,000 miles on it off a privet seller and I must say this car is AMAZING no matter how many miles it has on it. It still runs perfect no problems at all. I have a cousin that has a Lincoln LS these two cars have been build on the same cassy and his has 124,000 miles on it and that baby runs perfectly. Also on the other hand highway miles are better then city miles. Iam sure you will be fine. Best of luck!

RE: Is it a dream?
cdavid...........you don't say how many miles are on the car?
If you do 800 miles a week for work, adding in private mileage....you gotta be talkin 50k miles a year?
How long you thinkin of taking this car over, what sorta period you talkin about?
Please try and give more info so that we can better advise you.
