Default was so drawn to this today

Saw this today and was sooo tempted to pull the trigger


Jaguar XJ Sport Premium (TDVi) 2.7 4dr

Almost looks ideal....

Although I immediately thought about a transmission fluid change, replacing the brakes and window tints....lol

Beautiful piece of machinery and just a phone call away from being back in a Jaaag

The diesels are very economical on fuel, and as we pay around £1.32 a litre they need to be !! However, these diesels can suffer some serious issues with oil dilution, and other "diesel" things, like EGR valves, and DPFs, that can destroy all that wonderful economy when a shop has to fix it

Well, doesn't look like I can make this work out favourably unfortunately, so perhaps not to be for the moment, but its definitely got me thinking again.

I've looked at the newer models and I do like them, lovely cars but for me, this is just almost car ****, beautiful.

I do love my A6 and even though she's at 108k miles and 7 years old she doesn't cost me too much to run and owes me nothing, but I'm getting drawn back in by Jag, someday soon hopefully.

Have to be content with tinkering with my sons X type, looking like the other two will go down that path in a year or so too, so we could start our own mini Jag club...lol

Do you have a finger problem to pull the trigger or have you run out of bullets? Which is gonna be?

Get a Bells whiskey and in no time your hands will be all over the steering wheel with your mouth wide open in awe and wondering why you didn't pull the trigger eons ago.

Brilliant piece of machine that car. Wish it was available over here....

I always picture myself very old, sitting in a chair that I can't get out of, with a pile of money in the bank wondering how nice it would have been to have enjoyed my money on fun things when I was younger and able and no amount of money in the world could buy that enjoyment now. That thought puts me over the edge when it's time to pull the trigger and leaves no remorse. Worked for me last week when I was taken by this cat!
