Hi I see a lot of Jags in Florida for sale and on ebay because of the heat it is just as hard on the car as cold I was wondering if anyone has good luck with a Jag from down south reliability wise

 

Florida sells a lot of Jaguars, south Fl the most. Heat does not seem to to be an issue Most vehicles kept in garage. One must keep the leather cleaned and protected for sure. Have to combat the UV rays. Other than that life is good. You can get excellent deals on Jags in Fl anywhere from central Fl,Orlando, South. Ft Lauderdale is a very good market.

 

I've bought two Jags that are Florida cars. One is a '99 XK8 that just turned 60,000 miles. Needed tires, a new coil, rear sub-woofers, and some interior trim pieces of no consequence. It spent 7 years of it's life registered in "The Village" a major retirement community where it averaged all of 1700+ miles a year.


My other Jag is a 2004 XJ8 which my wife drives that I bought not quite 2 years ago did require a right front air shock and is now awaiting a headliner replacement. Aside from that it has not given us any problems as it approaches 80,000 miles.


Both cars have good paint and only the drivers seat on the '99 is starting to show its age with a crack beginning to form in the driver's seat.
