Know your Car
If you like Jag's like I do the best you can do is to know the car. I purchased mine from an auction with a blown head gasket. I towed it home, pulled the motor and transmission and spent 14 months hand rebuilding everything. That was 13 years ago. Have about 90K on the motor now and still runs great. My suggestion if you do not have the money to afford the car do not buy it. Repairs can be expensive unless you know how to work on them. I have had a Jag most of my adult life. I enjoy working on them. Smooth ride car, gets 24 MPG, and very stylish. Would never sell it. lol Comfort is a little low because not a lot of room in front seat, I am not a small man either. They do not make this style anymore either, and this was the last year Jaguar made the car before selling to Ford.
