Another location in the dealer chain where !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! has this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . It's yet another silver car and I kinda hate silver, BUT this is one car that I think looks quite nice in silver. Such a bad idea though, right?

Yeah it's more of a cruiser, but I don't necessarily mind that. I do mind it being a money pit. But it looks so nice.

The interior is carbon fiber instead of proper ye olde timey wood, and leather with contrasting stitching. As long as you look past the crap 90s euro Ford switches and odd squirqle shaped nav screen.

Since there's probably no hope of adding an aux jack, at least there's a tape deck so I can use one of these jobs to listen to Pandora.

I even already own such a device for using in my Grand Cherokee. It was 6 bucks at Walgreen's. I could go all luxury and order another one from Amazon.

from what ive heard, these really arent as unreliable as you think since they share so many Ford components. I also LOVE the way these things look

Regardless of the fact that they're all automatics, and they're from an unreliable brand, and everything... I will always love the convertible Jags. Those Brits just know how to make a roadster. I would seriously consider a Miata kitted to look like an XKR.

Do it. These are actually really well sorted by 06, they had been around since the late 90's. It might go through tires like a BMW and the transmission might have a small leak from the electrical connector. That is if it uses the ZF 6HPxx. And I would service the transmission, but other than that I think they're pretty good.

if its the same setup as the X308 XJ, which it looks like, there are ways and means of plumbing in an Aux or Bluetooth. Takes some work though, you need to run a wire back from the CD changer in the trunk.

There's a good owners forum at http://m.jaguarforums.com/forum/forumdis… which has info on this, as well as problem and PPI guides.

Also, no it's not a bad idea, because SUPERCHARGER!
