Hello, my name is Jock Ellis (not the sideman for the Grateful Dead, the other one) and nothing would do but for my wife to get a Jag after totaling her '96 Toyota against the rear bumper of a Ford PU in 2008. Buying a '98 Jag with 54,000 miles on it seemed like a better deal to her than paying several thousand more for another Toyota with comparable miles. I had reservations but her motto is "Never give up, never give in until you get your way." So we bought this South Florida car on eBay (both our cars are eBay vehicles) and I've been paying ever since. Finding this forum has been a real treat because I've found that you don't have to go to a mechanic for everything although my wife wants me to. She isn't paying for it.
Although I don't like keeping it running, I do think this car rides and handles beautifully. If it just didn't have that whine from the passenger seat when I'm on a long and winding road.

 

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Could you tell us a little bit about this Jaguar the wife likes so much.

 

Jock, great intro and welcome to the forum. Driving solo usually gets rid of the whine (joke). Jock, best of luck with the Jag. and have fun here.

My wife likes to outdo her sisters. One has a Lexus so, of course, she had to outdo her. At least she didn't want a Mercedes. At Starbucks once, I heard an M-B owner tell another M-B owner, "The reason they are so safe is that they are always in the shop."
