Hello everyone, it’s me again.
Hello everyone, it’s me again. I’ve actually been a member for over four years now, but I haven’t logged in for a while now, and the site seems to have forgotten my email address and username. It just seemed easier to create a new user account, so here I am — new name, old me.
My current pride and joy and rolling container of sorrows is a black 2004 Jaguar XJR purchased used in 2014 with 75,000 miles on the odometer for $8,000. Four years and 36,000 miles later, I have bought the car all over again (and then some) after incurring over $9,000 in parts and labor for repairs large and small (and this $9K does not include normal scheduled maintenance). This afternoon I found out another $1,100 will go in the debit column if I elect to replace a broken steering pump, so my arthritic kitty may soon be sleeping in the boneyard.
Over the past four years I’ve gotten a lot of good advice here at JaguarForums.com. If I replace my geriatric Jag with a younger cub, I’m sure I will continue to get lots more valuable information. Thanks!

I'm sorry you've bought your car over again, but so have Many of us, me included. Of course, we're doing work ourselves with the help of these forums, but Still......
Before you make such a Drastic decision let the section where Graham has directed you help you out with all your problems.
