I find the big difference in driving style between my XK 4.2 and my Defender 90 so much fun that I’ll love them both😍😊

I currently own 4 jags and my daily driver is a 2017 F-PaceV6S. Now has 55,000 miles and is a great vehicle.

Two years ago I bought a 2016 XJL with 4,000 miles on it. His license is (hand sign)SUMKTY (Handsome Kitty). But I already had a light blue 2005 S-Type. Her license is PRTKTY (Pretty Kitty). She's so pretty I couldn't sell her so now I have two.

I own a 2000 XKR Convertible and a 2007 XKR Coupe. I found I drive the X150 more that the X100, and to no fault of the X100, after a decade together, I'm probably moving it on soon. I'm actively looking at Aston DB9s and bidding on one on BringATrailer right now. I think the key with multiple Jaguars, at least for me, is keep them pretty different from each other; like an XE/XF/XJ/F-Pace/I-Pace + XK/F-Type combo is great since they're different horses for courses.

Was close to buying one; wife wasn't into it. The higher spec models are the only ones I would consider, irrespective of engine. Jaguar does not look so great with the lower end spec. A friend has an S and she does not like it so much. She finds it too small especially with the side windows. She's a Range Rover fan and also has a Sport. Her husband works at Lexus may go for a LX since he gets a subsidy on them. Either that one back to a newer Range Rover.

I'm not in the market but If it's the 06 coupe on there with 24K miles it caught my eye too, very nice color combination and only two owners.

Good luck with the bidding.

Thats the one lol. I'm extremely partial to brown metallic and bronze cars; my former Corvette was in Medium Brown Metallic and the car that started my love for the color was my uncles Ferrari 328 GTS in Marrone Metallic (bronze; and the car left a lot to be desired as an owner); that car drove him permanently away from Ferraris and he bought that new and babied it, it was replaced with a 911 Turbo that he said was everything he wished the Ferrari was. I'll admit I love the color, but I won't pay a premium for it since I think the Astons look good in silver, grey and black that are extremely common colors for the cars.

I figure that the issues the car has are minor and I can address; and having the coils and the transmission lines replaced already is a nice thing. They spent $180k+ on the car, spent $35k in maintenance (just the receipts they took pictures of), and probably will go for 40k or less; not a great investment, but hopefully they had fun!

I wish I could be like Jay Leno and keep every car I ever bought, however only so much space in the garage so if I'm ever going to have even a fraction of the cars I always wanted, I'll have to own them one at a time. I recently realized I'm getting older and running out of years to work through my list. I've got an appointment to go look at one of my high school dream cars on Friday, but its not a Jag, rather its a Plymouth. If I buy that, I'll have to let go the XJ8 and probably by the time I get around to another Jaguar (unless a whale of a deal falls in my lap), the XF will be replaced with a newer daily.
Well, the Plymouth is coming home so I'll be back to stacking on the lift again, at least till I figure out what to do. Its good that I have a short-term option, but its too inconvenient for long-term storage, particularly when I need to actually use the lift to work on a car. I hate to have to move a clean car outside when its raining just so I can change oil. I'm also losing my parking garage at work this Fall when we move to a cheaper office building and another thought was to trade the XF on a Honda Accord or something common, uninspiring and of so little future value that it could sit outside at home too, thus freeing up a garage bay. Either one it will be hard to let go. Anyone around Fort Worth or Arlington have garages for rent cheap?

There's a like new DB9 for sale locally to me. The seller was the previous Aston Martin franchise owner who are continuing as a classic and exotic reseller. This is a near new car.

I currently have a X150 and a X351, after several X100.

Very happy with both cars, except that when I have driven the XJ (Portfolio) for a while, I really feel like downgraded when I sit again in the XK… a bit like flying in first and then in business class…😉

@1 of 19 , very nicely done.
@dsd ... decisions, decisions. The mechanical solutions on the e-type would have me taking her out more than the xk.
But to the OP, I’ve had the F-Pace S as a loaner. its ok.
I’ve also had the E-Pace... and for essentially the same platform, wow! Take one for a spin...

I'm a bigger guy. The E-Pace is just a bit too small and I like the more power available in the F-Pace as well. Right now, I am on the fence. I almost have my Expedition paid off and really am not sure if I want to take on another payment. Still heavily considering it, though. I really do like the F Pace look and interior. The updated tech is nice as well. But, is it worth the cost? I haven't decided yet.

For a short time I had both the XKR and also an 87 Series 3 XJ6, unfortunately I had to choose between them due to garage space and the XJ6 lost so it was sold, a sad day indeed.
