Default Hit my first 10k miles - so far, VERY good

I got my Jag used with a few miles under 130k and just hit the 140k mark today as I pulled into work. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this car :-)

"Baby" (I know, not very unique) is still like new and has had no issues with me yet. At least nothing that a little home maintenance couldn't resolve.

Congrats! Ive had a million problems with mine but I still love my car. It is honestly the previous owner who did not take care of the car so I don't blame "Jacklyn the Jag" lol

That's fantastic, and it does still look great.

It's funny, at one point in a car's life an owner obsesses about keeping mileage low. Then as time passes, the car gets into "mileage middle age" and the owner becomes somewhat disappointed or apathetic about the mileage creep. Then, once the car gets into 100k+ mileage territory, it becomes a matter of pride again to see just how many miles it will run and stay looking good

That's where I'm at now. I bought the car with 40k miles on it about 4 years ago, and now it is at 90k. But it gets driven, and although now has a bit more road wear still looks pretty good for an original 22yr old car from 10ft away

NICE! I wanted an XJR so bad but settled for the first garage queen I could find otherwise. Great to see even the S/C Jag going the distance beyond the dreaded 200k. Gives me hope my Jag won't self destruct like my Cadi STS did at 175k
