Default New 06 Sportwagon owner

At a local car auction yesterday...came across an 06 Sportwagon with 112K miles.
Pretty clean car.

First thing I said was " Didn't know Jag made a station wagon "
First thing the wife said..." We are buying it "

Told her there was no way we are buying a foreign car !!
Been driving for 35 years...only rule I have is no foreign cars.

Sooooo..............of course the Jag is now in my driveway.

Driving it home...there is a definite whine coming from the front end.
There is a TON of info on this site, that I need to dig through.
Could be tires, bearings, TC, etc.
Now that the weather is getting nice, I will dig into it.

Only plus side of having the car....actually had 3 people on the way home say the same thing.... " Didn't know Jag ever made a station wagon "
So I'm assuming they are rare....at least in Michigan.

Your wife has very discerning taste in cars! Ya probably should keep her.

Congratulations on your new Jaguar Station Wagon (they call things by strange names Across the Pond)!
