hi, thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately the car i wanted was sold the day before i went to have a look at it. Fortunately another garage had a 2011 Luxury S with just over 30k miles on it. Went up at the weekend and had a look round it and had a test drive. I could tell with 3 minutes of driving it, that i was going to buy it. So nice to drive. Its in black with a few chrome extras, like the door mirrors. As i said it drives perfectly, full service history from jaguar. Nothing mechanically wrong with it. The only thing that was wrong, was the front passenger alloy has a dent in it, its not affecting the way it drives and its not doing any damage to the tyre, so will probably see if i can get it repaired locally.
Its a smallish company i bought it from, but the owner (who i dealt with) is a big jaguar guy, owns a couple and always has a few in stock, says its the best jaguar he's every had come through the business, and soon as i take delivery of it he's going to go buy another one, he even said to me that he hadnt listed it for a few weeks after he bought it because he loved it so much he didnt really want to sell it.
So as you can imagine i am very excited about picking it up (which should be tomorrow afternoon). I'm going to drive it for a while, then after ive spent some time with it, decide if i think it needs abit more power through a remap, or if the sounds needs enhancing with a new exhaust system
