Default My Baby is gone :(

Hi Guys,
I decided to sell my car, the first guy that called bought her. I live in Canada and there isn't a full year of being able to drive , maybe from April-May ( W/O salts on the road) until late October, so I decided to sell her. I had done some upgrades and still have some parts like a full cover, rear bearing, some front bushings, set of new ignition coils, front bumperetts and bar for grille, original wheels and SS/nuts, stereo and CD player. If anyone is interested PM me. I want to thank everyone that helped me when I was in question about someting, this is the best forum I've ever been on, thanks guys.

The second member to sell today! I hope you got a good price and enjoyed the 2 years + of ownership.

Every time you see a Jaguar from now on, the temptation will always be there to get another.

It truly is a sad day when you have to depart with your beloved jag.

I had a '99 for three years. Sold it for several good reasons (didn't drive it much, bought new motorcycle, garage space, guilt for having too many toys etc).
Dropped it off at the dealer for pre purchase inspection and felt like someone had died. As I drove away I knew it was a mistake but too late to back out and maintain integrity. I figured it would pass. It didn't! I grieved for that car like I couldn't believe, especially when I would see one (seldom).
Two years later I had to have another. Couldn't find owner to try to buy it back but found an '06 I like even better.
This one is not going anywhere.

I have an '03 XKR that I've owned for 6 years and I love it more today than when I bought it!!! I'm having a baby this October and like I keep telling everyone, my Jag was here first! :-P

I did and the desire will always be there. It's just that I got let go from work a year ago and just can't justify two cars right now. Along with the long winters.

When the timing is right you can always find another one. Given your current situation, your decision to sell is completely justified from a financial perspective. Don't let it bother you....
