Totally agree, these cars are amazing!

I purchased a 2003 model back in Feb this year with 160,000 on the clock. Most other cars with this kind of mega mileage on are showing severe signs of wear and tear: ie, squeaks/rattles, cracked leather, worn seat bolsters etc, but not this one. There is not a mark on it inside or out, and everything still works. This is testament to Jaguar's build quality. This is truly an enduring product, and I can honestly say is as fresh as the day it left the showroom.

It does have a full Jag service history however which is vital, but comparing it with previous high performance sports cars I have owned, ie Porsche, BMW M3 etc, I would say it beats them all hands down.

The acceleration is like a passenger jet taking off, just a seamless surge of whining supercharged power. You really have to experience this to believe it, and from such a large beast. It has left many a boy racer with a stunned expression on their faces. Feather the right foot, and you will easily achieve 20 mpg around town and slightly over 30 mpg on a motorway.

So what are you waiting for, buy one!
