Default My first jag, is this a good buy?

This so far is the nicest,cleanest S type in my budget. The dealer has a good rating with the BBB and great reviews online.
Opinions please.

Normally I would too. However, I am a very big car audio hobbyist. The plan for this vehicle as my Daily Driver, and to ecompass my hobby. The car will have an Aftermarket head unit so I can run full active 3 way front stage with time alignment.

Sorry if I wasn't more detailed. I have no desire to have a V8. Just sold my race truck last year and honestly haven't missed it much. Looking for a vehicle to drive to work and take my Son around. I want something reliable but nice to look at. My budget is roughly 4-6k

The sport package is nice(er) to look at. Choice is yours.

Price is not bad but I don't know your local market.

Probably more important is will you be doing the work yourself or taking it to a dealer?

That's where things will fall apart. Since you are like most of us here. We got a great price on a luxury car.

To keep costs reasonable you must DIY the repairs. That is what this list is for.

A Big Plus I See Is The Dealer. It's Reassuring When You Know The Dealer Is Recognized As Above Average.
