Yeah, I drive one, an old-school XJ6. I've had the car donkey's years and love it. Before that I had a Mercedes C-Class and, to be honest, there's not much difference in reliability between the two - although I always keep my cars well serviced and in good condition.These cars look good, but I hear they are incredibly unreliable & cost a fortune in repairs & parts.
Do not be too easy. If you are too easy to get, she will not want you. If you are too easy to keep, she will lose interest in you. If you are too easy to control, she will not respect you.

Some are worse than others. When I had my Mercedes, I drove to a specific one because the one near me was known to pull crap like that.Your distance from the nearest dealership is an important consideration. Where I live, no one works on a jag but a dealer, and the nearest one is two hours away, which is a long and expensive tow truck ride.
Also keep in mind that luxury car dealers like to throw in "free lifetime oil changes," because the point is to get you back into the dealership to find other things wrong with your car. My local Mercedes dealership's service department has about a $2,000 typical service bill per customer, and a lot of those people just came in for the free oil change.
Good point man, I was actually thinking about maybe calling dealerships in around a reasonable distance from me, and first establish who can work on Jaguar Cars, in the eventuality something goes wrong.Your distance from the nearest dealership is an important consideration.

Find a good independent specialist. Dealerships are a rip off.Good point man, I was actually thinking about maybe calling dealerships in around a reasonable distance from me, and first establish who can work on Jaguar Cars, in the eventuality something goes wrong.
Thanks man, I went on YouTube watched some reviews on reliability on Jaguar and yes was a mix feeling about them amon people.Yeah, I drive one, an old-school XJ6.

A Jaguar will cost you a bit more to run than most cars but not greatly so, especially if you find a good specialist to work on your car rater than take it to a main dealer. Jaguars are nevertheless a lot less expensive to run than a Maserati or other exotica,
A decent Jaguar shouldn't really cost you any more to run than a BMW or similar 'excecutive' motor. Personally, I like the Jaguar because it's more of a gentleman's car. To me, it's the thinking man's option.
Yeh they are. I think a local mechanic who works on Jaguar is best bet.Find a good independent specialist. Dealerships are a rip off.
Very nice car which will be no more or less reliable than the equivalent Mercedes or BMW to be honest.Thanks man, I went on YouTube watched some reviews on reliability on Jaguar and yes was a mix feeling about them amon people.
I think it might not be so much a reliability issue, but rather finding mechanics or dealerships who are willing to work on them, without charging a small fortune in parts cost and labour.
It's an older model I am looking at, Jaguar XF 3 litre engine. They look highly sophisticated cars.
I remember Jaguar was considered an older gentlemans car, retirement age old man in his 60s kinda thing lol.
This is what they look like.

Jaguar and Land Rover products perennially top the list of the most unreliable cars on sale. Those cars break down all the time even when new. I can't imagine what owning a 10+ year old one would be like. You hardly ever see the XF not he road anymore, even though they were fairly popular when they came out win the late 2000's.These cars look good, but I hear they are incredibly unreliable & cost a fortune in repairs & parts.
I like the heritage of the Land Rover as being a tamer of the African wilds, although Toyota has taken over there.Jaguar and Land Rover products perennially top the list of the most unreliable cars on sale.

Jaguar made some sexy coupe over the years. E-type, F-type, first generation XK. Some nice sedans too, particularly pre-2010 XJ's. Too bad the Brits could never figure out how to make a car that doesn't break down twice a week.I've never understood the appeal of a Jaguar as a "sexy car", although I suppose that it mogs the Buick, LOL. The Germans & Italians mog everyone when it comes to cars not named Corvette.
BTW, the British car I've always had a fancy for was the Triumph TR-7.

Never try to read a woman's mind. It is a scary place. Ignore her confusing signals and mixed messages. Assume she is interested in you and act accordingly.

None of that is true - and I know, I've driven a Jaguar for many years, and a Mercedes before that.Nope. They are giant money pits. Expensive parts, expensive repairs since not many mechanics are trained with them and they require extra training meaning you get charged more for it.
Also very unreliable even with basic things that should never go wrong on cars these days.
If I was going to spend a bunch of money on a car I'd buy a Lexus, at least I would know it's hardly ever going to need repairs or maintenance.
