Help with purchase decision
#1

Hello
I don't buy a new car every day LOL so I want to make a good choice.
I am trying to decide between:
2005 Cadillac STS V6
2005 Jaguar S-Type V6
2005 Volvo S80 2.5 turbo AWD
I very nearly bought the Cadillac last Friday... but then friends said "don't do it!" Then I got Nervous. Funny how the last people you talk to have a disproportionate opinion.
I am concerned about the 95 TSBs on the STS (versus 20 on the Jaguar and S80).
All 3 are from dealers and certified for 100k miles (they each have about 50k now). But a free repair doesn't help me make money. Reliability -- and not every week in the shop for a free repair -- is Very important to me.
I'd appreciate whatever input people care to provide and thank you in advance.

Like Ken said, everybody here would be biased towards Jag. I looked at Caddy too but its wasnt as classy as Jag. Volvos are veryreliable cars but notthat cool. Jags are sure head turners ... BIG TIME. I have had one for three years now.... not a single issue and of course reliable too. Jags had stigma of being not relaibleand "Mehacnics favorite" in 80sbut things have changed now. Jags reliabaility has improved a lot.
