Default New to the Jag

Hello,
from China Grove, NC- USA

The wife bought her (and my) first Jag. We bought a 2018 F-Pace model S. It had 85k miles on it. It was in mint conditioned, and previously owned by a clean-a-holic, it had not one spec of dust in it or on it…owned a whopping 32 hours, and my wife was T-boned by a drunk driver, pushing her into oncoming traffic and into another car. The poor cat was totaled. She did her job and sacrificed herself, to protect my wife and her (2) passengers. No life threading injuries, lots of pain, bruises, and scrapes.

fast forward (2) weeks…settled with my insurer, who will be going after the drunks….and promptly found us another F-Pace, same year and exterior color, but a portfolio edition 35T, with only 56k miles. Coming from a Lexus RX, after the wreck, my wife felt that it would have been much worse if she was in her old car…the jag is beefy and roomy and tank-like. She was determined that she had not owned a Jag long enough to get the full experience and was hell-bent on another!

So that’s my intro!

Hello, Ron,
Been there, having a car sacrifice itself to keep me safe, and I can say, your wife and passengers have had Quite an excitement!
I would agree with her, she's not had a Proper Jag experience, and as the Jag saved her, it's only right she get another one and pick up where she left off.

Welcome to the forums form ElinorB.
