Default First Jaguar sedan since 1988. 2004 XJR

Hello. Do you guys get a lot of funny looks when friends discover you bought an older Jaguar? They seem to think I have been living under a rock and haven't heard that they may take more care and feeding vs a Camry. Well I have had this sedan for a couple months and I am liking it so far. Front end parts are up next . BTW, if anyone is considering a front Upper control arm , this seems to be a good deal. It will fit my '04 XJR, right?

Hello, Tigre,

Many if not All of us have had friends and family look sideways at us when they learn we've acquired a Jaguar of any age, but especially one of the Classics over 30 years old.

They seem to think I have been living under a rock and haven't heard that they may take more care and feeding vs a Camry.
They're a whole lot more fun than a Camry too, and have a quality of "Soul" the Camry lacks, but people who bring this to our attention have never Owned a Jaguar nor do they Know anyone who has. Therefore it's up to us to set them straight.
Well I have had this sedan for a couple months and I am liking it so far.
I would expect nothing less.
Front end parts are up next . BTW, if anyone is considering a front Upper control arm , this seems to be a good deal. It will fit my '04 XJR, right?...
I've rebuilt the front suspension on my own car but I can't speak to the correctness of this particular part.
