Hi all. Finally I have purchased the car I have been drooling over for years! Got it from CarMax with 49,000 mi for 15,849 it's a 2002. I was amazed by the price as it was, but imagine my surprise when I went to pick it up and found a beautiful XJR 100 waiting for me! ( I did get the 5 yr 60,000 mi warranty with it for a little extra coin...) I have driven BMWs, Mercs, Porsches, and Ferraris (all belonging to others) but holy cow, this car is more comfy, has more power, and best of all, handles just as well on the road as any except maybe my buddy's ZO6 ok-not more power in this case. Who would have thoughtthat a sedan could be an effective mid-life crisis car..... I thank everyone heartily for all the good info found on this board.

HAhAhAr! I use ionizing radiation for the Cat Scan part of my job, and Magneto was already taken. Basically I needed a good name for quake3 and it stuck to me. BMWon19's, the warranty was 2299, and it covers everything but the brake pads, rotors, belts, and hoses. (it DOES cover the calipers!) Hmm, I'm not sure if it covers the shocks, but it does cover every other part of the suspension.
75$ deductible anywhere, 50$ at Carmax. The Jag dealer is very far, and I already checked, Carmax will do all the different scheduled maintenance, including blower belts for WAY cheaper than the dealer, and only 6 miles from my house. Gawd I sound like a commercial, sorry. Good evening to everyone, and thanks for welcoming me. I will post some pics soon.

Thanks everyone for the nice welcome. Shot these yesterday after a wash. I missed a spot.... It was dark in the stall. Dark. Yeah, that's the ticket...
