Even if you screwed up and got bailed out you still got to keep your job making 15 mill a year.

Default Car Economics

Car Economics are always interesting and I have never bought a new car.
Now on my 3rd Jaguar I always buy them when they are about 4 or 5 years old. My last two were XJ6 saloons and I ran them for 11 years each and they did high mileage of between 180K and 190K before I changed them.
Now I have the XKR-S and a big smile. These are great cars and I hope I have as much enjoyment as with the XJ6. Certainly the first 2 years with this car has been wonderful.
When I work out the cost per year for running a Jag, it is good value for special motoring. I use Jaguar specialists rather than dealers as each time I use a dealer I have had problems afterwards and thy are generally more expensive.
So far my Jaguar ownership has cost me about 1,000 to 1500 GBP per year including maintenance. The XKR-S a little more as I have such lovely tyres.
My formula is buy a carefully used car and keep it until it starts to not be economic. Usually over a decade.

Default Old 2007 models XKR

Hi, just wanted to add my few thoughts also. I have just upgraded to the newer 2012 model (with daylight running LED lights) and traded in my 2007 reg xkr. I paid £48,000 back in 2009 when I bought it from a Jag dealer but now I only got £22k in trade in. I suppose no one wants the older version, thank goodness the new facelift for the xkr has been delayed till 2015/16.

My '09 XKR might get cheap, but, it will never get ugly!!

That's good enough for me.
