Default bought my first

After lots of thinking I went with my heart.
I read about these pieces of art being unreliable, I kept telling myself don't buy one, it will cost you, but I didn't listen to my own logic, I searched for months for the right specimen hoping against hope to find it.....well, I foundit, I drove it, I loved it, still do.

Kept telling myself don't buy one............well...it needs company.

Blue 98' vdp black interior.

Nope, newer Jaguars are reliable but '98-00 ones associated w/ nikasil issue (not all of those models ) .If I were you , I'd go for a 1995-97 X300 straight 6 bangers
Welcome as usual

Welcome Chicagocat! I loved your description of your Jag as a work of art. If you enjoy the car, then it was the right decision for you!

Than you all.
No relation to any Des Moine felines.


It is true that buying anything used is a crap shoot, and while I fear any little noise any little squeak (that are probably to a high degree created by my crazed mind) Ithink that just by looking at my cat in my garage I'll feel comfort knowing it's there.

ChicagoCat:

I purchased 2 in the last 1 1/2 and am very pleased with them both. I've had lemons in various makes and models of cars over the years...Its just one of those things. But as you say,, these cars are definately fine art in motion! :0)
And hey, welcome to the site!
