Summary
What does this car say about you?
I don't want a BMW
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Oh look, he's got another loan car from the Jag dealers - we see more of those than his Jag.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No. It's the best car I've ever had when it's working but I need a reliable one. I can't afford a new enough one.
What are you likely to buy next?
Looking at Lexus or Audi.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£11,995
When did you buy the car?
September 2009
Did you get a good deal and why?
Cheap - but it was (and is) a high miler. It is also such an early TDVI that most guides don't accept that it exists - it's on an 05 plate but all guides list 55 as the earliest.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Always longed for a Jag
What was the dealer like?
Pretty decent - paid for £400 plus repairs in the first week.
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Fabulous when working OK - really smooth and a great ride without sacrifing handling.
What's it like to park?
Really easy - even though it's a bit longer than most cars
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
It puts a massive smile on my face on the rare occasions when it works OK. The rest of the time I dread what will go wrong next.
What's most practical about your car?
Heated screen, F/R park sensors, adaptive cruise, rear blinds
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Adaptive cruise, Xenon Lights
