Yeah. I own a 2020 convertible. I drive it daily. If you get the coupe, it actually is surprisingly usable as a daily. Fuel economy is great for what's basically a muscle and supercar. And they aren’t as unreliable as Jags can be known for.

2017-2020 are coincidentally the best models. They look the best, still have the original growl, and they worked out most of the kinks.

Biggest downside is, it's a non-luxury, luxury car if that makes sense. Some of the materials feel cheap, the infotainment center is garbage and apparently non-replaceable. And you absolutely have to stay on the maintenance. Do not skimp on wear and tear. Anything beyond normal wear amd tear needs to he fixed at the Jaguar dealership, which can be a long wait. Sometimes they've had my shyt over 3 weeks.

I’ve always thought they were cool. I don’t see many of them.

If the numbers make sense, and it works, go for it. Just don’t overpay. You didn’t mention how long the loan term is. I’d want to be able to get out of it w/o losing too much money, if needed.

Thats crazy. Why don’t you just lease a new whip for 2 years? The jag not gonna be worth anything when you pay it off.

More likely than not, bad credit, which is why he's buying used, old ass Jaguars trying to flex. :mjlol:

Underrated car. I remember the V8 was always praised for having an amazing exhaust sound
Seems like the type of car that would be perfect as car #2 or #3, paid for in cash, and you can do some of the work yourself.

I have no credit! :yeshrug:

Forget that old ass Jag & get your credit up/save your money & in a few years, you can lease a NEW luxury vehicle of your choice with a full warranty for much less (in many cases) than buying a used luxury vehicle, plus depending on your lease, you may even have the option to buy/finance the vehicle at the end of the lease.

So you’ll finance about 23k after your down payment. $525 ain’t bad monthly either. Just set aside an emergency fund for it when all those plastic pieces under the hood bonnet starts to cannibalize themselves due to age. Remember they gotta import a lot of those parts from Britain too. Just giving u alternative things to consider. Otherwise go for it, I think @Silver Surfer had one.

Very fun car....get the R if you can...had a fuel pump go out......these are not cheap cars to service

You been warned
