Jaguars are still on the low end of reliability, but all cars have better reliability these days. Drive it under warranty!
People wonder how Jags and Rovers sell, given their reliability. Nothing matches them for feel and smell. Sitting in ‘em sells ‘em!
It’s a little more than I can afford, but it will be in demand long enough for me to have a little fun before passing it along.
Yes the Jags and Rovers could sell themselves, the salesman only had to get you to sit inside.
similar to some muscle car sales transactions which are sealed just as soon as the dealer gets the prospect to stand behind the tailpipe and listen to the ROAR! ha ha
one”cool” feature sells the entire vehicle.

A friend bought a new Jag a few years ago and insisted that I come over and drive it. I didn’t want to but it seemed the only way of shutting him up, so I finally went over there and said I would drive it once around the block but he had to back it out of his garage for me because I did not trust myself to back the car into the road. OK, but when he put the key in, his $100,000+ new kitty kat wouldn’t start! just sat there dead as roadkill.
The kid in the tow truck came and hitched it up and made a strong “class warfare” point of crashing the car to the pavement (the house and garage were uphill) as it hit the road.
My friend turned ghost white and never fully recovered.
Back then anyway, Jags had 2 electric petrol pumps... LUCAS ELECTRICS of course... meaning... they would not work, you just knew there’d be trouble with anything so branded.
I guess the Brits couldn’t abide just letting the engine suck the gas forward like in a colonial car
a jaguar would seem a great candidate for the very best extended warranty you can get
