2005 jaguar with high mileage.
Has 242, 000 miles on it. Still runs like new. Good gas mileage. Have had only minor issues with this car.

I bought it on 8/4/2021 with 81,383 miles on the clock.
I brought it home yesterday and enjoy it very much. I am a bit of a "Jaguar aficionado". With proper maintenance, these vehicles can run more than 300,000 miles. (I have seen this with my own eyes). The 3.0 (183 cu. In.) is the same engine that is in the Lincoln LS6 (Base model). You can obtain lots of parts (engines/ ZF Transmissions from rebuilders and you'll get a lot of miles out of them. Take care of them and keep them maintained and they'll provide a long, long service life.

Review of jaguar car...Good.
No problems, car is very great. The car is great on gas, miles, and is fun to drive. Very glad I bought it when I did. It is reliable, comfortable, and performs well. It is sleek and beautiful, turns lots of heads, and is really smooth on the road. Can get a little tricky during the colder months though.

Sporty. Fun to drive roomy trunk even though a sports car

That I wouldn't consider it a family car because of the inside size.
I like that it is a luxury car. I love the sunroof. The only thing I dislike about it is the high cost of maintenance.

Luxurious car on the inside and out
Great car not many issues so far except regular maintenance. It may feel a little small on the inside at times. The car has lasted well and I can see it going for a good while longer. I like that it does have a luxurious feel. The detail on the inside looks beautiful will the wood grain finish

My Jaguar is too expensive and is taking up too much of my time and money.
It always has mechanical problems and it's pricey to get them fixed because it requires a lot of labor. Since it's not a very common vehicle it's also hard to find its parts when it needs a new one. At first I loved my car but now that I have spent more money on repairing than what I spent on buying it I have totally changed my mind.

Luxurious inside yet car has many transmission and computer problems. Very expensive repairs.
I would think twice before buying a jaguar.
