New Member, Owner since early '06

Hello, My name is Jack Pruitt, I am 76 years old and we live in Picayune, MS (60 miles NE of New Orleans) We have a '05 S-Type, 3.0. It has 54,000 miles, We have owned it since early '06. It was my Service Award to myself for 50 years of continuous work. We found it in Atlanta, the dealer said if it car was not as described that he would pay our expenses to Atlanta and back. My wife drove the car back to Picayune, MS, I lost my Service Award. Then she tagged "WUS HIS"!
Up until last week the car had had only one service problem, a $12 charge to reconnect the transmission shift linkage when one of two bolts backed out.
See my post, "Brakes, ball joints, headliner and sun visors.
My wife decided that she wanted a "Crossover SUV". We looked at SRXs, R350s, Lincoln, and Rovers. All had unacceptable road noise levels. Just the nature of the beast I guess. We decided to do the needed repairs and keep the Jaguar. It is the best car we have ever owned. We looked at the F-Type, my wife said it looked like a cross between the Lexis and a BMW, that it did not look like a Jaguar.
