Hi all,
For years I have longed to own a jaguar...and now at the ripe young age of 60 I am seriously considering a particular one and would like to know what your thoughts are on it.
I have seen a 2009 model in a local dealers - an XFS 4.2L V8 supercharged petrol engine model which I have kind of fell for. The mileage is 66,000 and the asking price is 9995 UK pounds. The dealer lists it as a rare model? It is silver with full leather interior and has had 4 previous owners
I do have a liking for the earlier model with the chrome grille and badge as opposed to the black grille. The obvious glaring thing is that it has a 4.2L petrol engine which means its going to be a thirsty car, followed by the 530 quid road tax. My present mileage per year is between 6 and 8k.
I guess I'm really asking if I should avoid such a big engine and go for something smaller. Also, with it being a 10yr old car with 66k on the clock, am likely to be buying myself a very expensive toy. Also any advice on average running costs would be most welcome.
Many thanks,
Rory
