The older ones, yes. I've seen the question asked as to why BMW and Jaguar had issues, but Porsche didn't. Never seen an answer. Maybe Porsche owners are better about using 91 octane gas?

Personally, I think the late '90s and after Jaguar products are a screaming deal. I saw a '99 XJR with 89k on it for sale in Dallas for $5,999. Very clean car, clean title. That's E39 M5 performance for $6k! I feel claustrophobic in the interior of those cars, if I didn't I would have bought that one.
