It’s a Jaaaag!! Did you really think I was going to get my mom a Lexus RX or Acura RLX. Well, I would! They were great vehicles. However, I got her into this 2012 Jaguar XF with just under 16,000 miles for $29,900.

Oh, did I mention 5.0L V8? Must have slipped my mind...

Obviously we are keeping the Camry. Her reaction was priceless when I showed her the car. Good day, good day.

While I can’t say this is a more responsible choice than the other two, I can definitely endorse it. Awesome ride!

Love it - the only thing that messes with my head is that the steering wheel reminds me of the one GM puts on Cadillacs.

It’s so small! I like it though.

Patience. I even did the financing before hand, so out the door, tax, title, and warranty.... $33k

While it’s way less reliable, and not as well made, and holds less value, it's still a pretty nice car for a (presumably) somewhat older lady. That's actually more than 50% of the people that would bring these in to the dealership.
