tough call, both can be exciting and expensive. I opted for the Jag. Its a beautiful 2000 XK8 convertible. Driving it home the same day I purchased it, it went into limp home mode with a "gearbox fault". I have owned it for less than a month. Have replaced the TCM and no more "gearbox fault" however, now I have two error messages : "Trac not avail" and "ASC not avail". Lots of threads out there about replacing the battery, cleaning the wheel sensors, etc..

 

Oh Jeff... the Jaguar IS the mistress! And yes, there is expense. But... well, you know. Anyhow, welcome to the forum!
