Last of the 2002 models (build date Dec 01) with the upgraded timing chains and tensioners (confirmed by Stevinson Jaguar), and the Mercedes sourced 5 speed automatic transmission. That transmission is considered exceptionally reliable by all mechanics. This car is reliable. Beautiful factory chromed wheels with 14 month-old Michelin tires with 7000 miles on them. Rear muffler delete performed to let V8 growl more.

Maintenance in 2012: NEW PARTS= front shocks (OEM C.A.T.S.) + bushings, shock tower bushings, sway bar links + bushings, cam covers, battery, air filter, brakes, lower control arm bushings, engine mounts, coolant sensor + reservoir, third brake light. Oil, transmission fluid changes as well as filters in 2012 and 2013.

Minor negatives = gas meter is erratic ($400 repair with Platinum mechanic). Driver side leather has some cracking. Some gray trim pieces next to windows and black paint have faded (see pics). Paint at bottom of front cap has become uneven
