to buy as a daily driver.

I think I am going to keep the SVT a little longer for fun.

I have thought about a couple...although I still hate the idea of a car payment.

This is what i have driven so far:

04 Mazda 6s manual
02 Jag x-type manual (although I wouldn't mind an auto)
03 Infiniti G35 (I would get a little higher mileage one)
or maybe buy another IS300.

I just don't know. They all have goods as far as price, fun, practical.

1999 Jaguar XJR - I've seen them on ebay for 16,500 with 39k miles

Supercharged 4.0 with LSD. 0-60 in 5.4 and still all the comforts of home.

BS. There's no toilet in the Jag. :D




Now, back to my regularly scheduled region.

Is Jag still that unreliable. I was hoping ford had remided that problem.

I found a lot of low mile coupes going for 19-23K, MT6, low miles...... too bad I needed a truck. You've already got a turbo 4-door, an NA 3.5 2dr would be a NICE DD!

I saw that you posted on another thread that you were thinking about a Altima or Maxima. I worked at Nissan for a while and I was quite impressed with the 3.5 that they put in those and absolutely in love with the Altima SE-R. If I could afford one I would get an Altima SE-R (6 spd) in a heart beat! But of course you may have a different opinion.

That 3.5 seems to be a pretty good setup in the Altimas. Even the non SE-R models with the 3.5 seemed pretty zippy in either manual or automatic.

Just my opinion/suggestion.

Good luck in your search for a vehicle
