A long time ago my brother decided to buy a brand new jag.
I told him:
Same crap in a beautiful new wrapper.
Buy two of em so you can drive one while the other is in the shop.
Wait for 5 years, you'll be able to buy a used one for under $10 grand.
He said I was wrong.
THIS generation of jaguar is different!
I walked around the car and pointed out something that had fallen off the car in the 5 mile trip from the dealer.
in 5 years the car was basically totalled because the repair bill was more than it was worth. He donated it to charity with less than 60,000 miles on it.
There have been many generations of jags since then, and IMO the only thing they've done exceptionally was depreciate.
Maybe this generation is going to be different!
Color me skeptical.
