You cannot drive them until they quit like a common American agricultural pile of junk. You have to maintain them periodically. It is no different than having any other exotic. If you like Ferraris, you have to constantly keep them in tune. It is part of the owner's responsibility.
But, like the American auto makers themselves and their labor unions, the word "responsibility" goes right down the crapper when someone actually is expected to do some work.
If anyone complains about prices, they have never had to pay for a Jaguar.
And, American repair shops have been gouging people for years... it doesn't cost any more for a brake job on a Beemer than it does for a Corvette.
My old Jaguar XJS has real inboard racing brakes and three master cylinders. In a shop it would cost at least 3k for a complete brake job. Doing it myself, and in time before damage occurs, costs considerably less.
Yea, well you keep supporting the Brits & the Krauts and we’ll keep supporting Americans...I still like to look in the mirror when I shave.
