I have to call BS on that. They *used* to be more expensive cars to maintain. Now that all cars are computer controlled fuel injected modern technologies, repairs to a Toyota can easily be as much as they are for my Jag.

Back in SC late yesterday. Finally got a reply about a 1997 XJR, also trying to haggle over an S320. Some people are flakes and never reply to email or pickup the phone.1+2 = McGuirk, 2+4 = She's hot, 6-4 = Happy McGuirkComment

Well after looking a lot and considering what was written here I ended up with a 1999 XJR in silver.

Gorgeous! I love the wood panel interiors... and those leather buckets look comfy as hell.
One of the best forums on the net:

It reminds me of this place, sorta. Except without the trolling. I don't post much there anymore because topics have become a bit repetitive over the long run. Everyone is nice and helpful and the Jag community is pretty friendly and very helpful.The 2nd Amendment: America's Original Homeland Defense.Comment

It's shmoovy shmoove, really like it so far. A few minor things wrong with it but it was taken care of. I'm not sure but it seems like the timing tensioners have been replaced, supercharger works fine. Doesn't like the ethanol gas around here though
I'd still like to find a reputable extended warranty company to cover repairs that might pop up.1+2 = McGuirk, 2+4 = She's hot, 6-4 = Happy McGuirkComment

Sounds good! Your interior is basically the same as mine except I don't have wood panels on my doors or in my worthless back seat area. I love my car, out of everything I've owned, it's the car that I like the most.Originally posted by buzzsaww View PostIt's shmoovy shmoove, really like it so far.

Go to the XJR subforum on that site I linked, look at all the sticky posts...

This thread is what you need to be specifically concerned about:

Make sure to read all the stickies... there's more information than you will ever need about your car.
Oh, make sure to download and install the JTIS (Jaguar Technical Information System). It's a program that is basically all the service manuals and TSB's.The 2nd Amendment: America's Original Homeland Defense.Comment

Yeeeeeeah, my Jag still lifts my skirt after 7 years (even though some arsehole swiped the XJR grille before I got it, and I've left the stock one in. More of a surprise when you see it in your mirror...then WHOOOOOSH, goodnight bumhole! They aren't called the "Hooligan Saloon" for nothing)
After my next holiday, it's time to go for a soft-top XKR, I think, I've wanted one from the day I went round the plant at Coventry for the launch back in 96.
Oh, don't buy an Aston, they are SHIT. Seriously, everyone I know who has had one has been disappointed, they ALL have problems, little niggly shit that shouldn't happen on a car that costs £120k. You don't know the meaning of "EMBARRASSMENT" till you've had to short out the clutch pedal sensor so you can bump start a V12 DB7 GT at the traffic lights in the middle of town, with everyone around you laughing their tits off. Mind you, when it was running, the sound made you want to shoot your wad in your pants.So I woke up,rolled over and who was lying next to me? Only Bonnie Langford!
