You know what you need do.
Bought my 911 off the internet sight unseen ~20 years ago and you can say many of the same things about it, **** gas mileage, expensive parts.

You are not forced to take delivery of the vehicle if it shows up not as promised.

The post Ford era Jags have shown to be pretty much bullet proof easily racking up 150k relatively trouble free.

Yeah gas ain’t cheap but that too shall pass.

My interpretation of value is really, what will it cost.

The car is priced correct for todays market. It’s what they are selling for.

They are a tremendous bang for the buck buy in the secondary market and relatively rare. At the height of the model run they only brought in ~2,000 a year.

None of that concerns me in the least.

I don't know if it's a major problem, I'm assuming it is but that doesn't mean I'm correct.

It’s the dealers lack of transparency that bothers me.
