I am just not in the right place to keep a jag, no place to work on it, my only car in city where I am alone, coming off a long unemployment, new job a long commute on the punishing 405, etc etc. Painful to see her drive away forever, this was not just another car to me. I love these cars, I first saw them when they were new when I was in college in Vegas(Mech Engineering) and I loved them when I first saw them. That was one thing I wanted and I finally got one. These cars offer average joes the opportunity to drive a true exotic at the purchase price of a used corolla or prius.

They are a way to get a piece of the life that only the relatively wealthy can afford(but appreciate MUCH less) and thus are at a special point where average joes can figuratively give the finger to those bankers/CEOs who make their money coming and going unlike the rest of us.

After a bit over a year of ownership I have no major complaints about Princess. Almost all the maintenance I did was preventative like the tensioners, new tires and cooling system components. The only pests I had were the intermittent ABS/TRAC lights and codes and I wish the new owner luck with that. I know it's just a harness or pin in the abs module connector so no biggie. 56700 to 63875 miles. Washed almost every weekend, premium everything. This car was not to impress anyone, it was just for me. Sadly I lost my job and after the long job hunt I racked up too many living expense bills so it's got to go to pay off said bills, etc.

I'd like to thank this site and everyone who contributes here, this makes owning a jag much easier and is quite enjoyable to contribute to to help others with the same problems!! THANKS TO ALL HERE!!! Keep on giving them the finger!!!
