New Purchase
Since my 98 E320 is totalled, I now need a daily driver. My neighbor advised me last evening that he wants to sell his 1998 Jaquar XJ6, 33,500 miles, all options, white with tan interior. A real cream puff. I drove it. I was very suprised and pleased the way the car handled and the quality of the solidness of the car. He wants 12,000.00 for it. I checked into quality, reliability, etc. From what I researched the 98 are good cars. It's not a benz, but the history of this car is known, always serviced, price is right, mileage is very low and the car is imaculate. I checked with the Jaq. Dealers in my area and was advised that there was no problems with the New designed Jaqs from 97,98,99 and on. The 4.0 liter engine is very strong and the trans. is reliable. Told that the new Jaqs are very solid build. Opinions would be appreciated.

Get another Benz
Jags are generally good cars, somewhat inferior (some may disagree) but still a great ride. Heard maintenance will cost more and more frequent and I also suspect parts may be a problem in the US (????). One thing's for sure, you probably won't have much fun (or choices) modding it. White also requires a lot more care.....believe me.

My neighbor is working out a deal to purchase a SUV. His wife drove the car. They need an SUV for there business. They have another newer Jaquar. Interesting enough, he has the car at friend of mine's Dealership on a consignment basis. I know both people.
