I love the Jaguar fit and finish, it is as good as it gets.

I have no data on the more recent Jags, but the earlier ones were certainly suspect.

I traded in my 2004 Jag X-Type with 20k miles for a 1999 Boxster with 30k miles

The Jag was nice, the AWD was great, but just not as much fun to drive as the Boxster.

Plus after 2 years the Jag was only worth $17k ( bought for $30 )

I was worried about getting rid of a 2 yr old car with 20k miles and full warrantee for a 7 yr old car with 30k miles and no warrantee.

Everytime I get behind the wheel of the Box, I know I made the right decision...

'nuff said

How did you get a 7 yr warranty? I thought the max from Porsche was 6 yrs?

I'm pretty sure it was 7, but now you have me curious. I'll check into it and get back with you on that.

Yes, Ford bought Jaguar several years ago and implemented a superior quality control system. The result is that Jaguar cars are among the most reliable cars on the road these days. Complete 180 from the old days.

Unfortunately Jaguar loses money every year and Ford is looking to get rid of it now in an effort to stem their losses. Who knows what will happen to poor Jaguar. Maybe Toyota will pick them up.

Is this a Porsche factory extended warranty or aftermarket provider?
