Even though Ford sis wonders to Jag's quality control I think they messed with the "beauty and class" factor. Its not a Jag anymore when they put Ford engines in them. 69 280 SEL 120,000 Miles 72 350SL 108,000 Miles 2004 VW Passat 4 Motion 1999 Mazda Miata -----Original Message----- From: Peter Frederick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Mercedes Discussion List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sat, 29 Apr 2006 01:24:38 -0500 Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT Jaguar for sale
Prior to Ford buying them, Jags are, well, quality control free. As my friend the mechanic says, "how in heaven's name do you get oil on the bottom of the FRONT bumper?". After than, much better, although the V12s still overheat badly and often catch fire. A blast to drive when they run, though... Expensive to maintain -- similar to Land Rover. I persuaded a young friend of mine not by buy one of those this year, too. He's in graduate school, hardly the time for a vehicle of questionable reliablity!
