Bought my first Jag this week. I've loved them for a long time, since the early 80s when a guy at my high school drove a 68 E type as his DD Senior Year. I almost fell out of love in the mid 00's with S type and X type but the XK kept the love going. I could never afford one new, or more realistically could not justify spending more on a car than I had my first house, but I'm finally at a place where I could justify buying one used. So how do you buy a nearly $60,000 luxury vehicle for 20K? You buy a 2009 XF Premium Luxury with 51K miles.
All the folks I work with are impressed, some have asked why would you buy a Jag instead of a Merc? With one look at the car they have gotten their answer. It's gorgeous, it's well optioned, and it drives like a dream. So far I'm quite happy. Now if I could only get the Bluetooth to work consistently but that is a topic for a different thread. Still figuring it out and getting used to driving it. I thought I might be disappointed in not buying a SC car but I've had fast cars (425 HP in 3000 lbs) and this car is not fast but it's plenty powerful enough for me at this stage of my life.
