Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£0
When did you buy the car?
March 2011
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes. Nobody wanted big petrol-engine Jags in 2011. Most people had been conned into thinking diesels were going to save the universe and guarantee them a place in heaven. Plus I had cash.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Quiet Luxury.
What was the dealer like?
The original salesman was to-the-point and responsive. His manager tried the up-sale attempting to sell some paint protective layer. He got very short shrift.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
A dream.
What's it like to park?
Simple - it has front and rear sensors.
-
Living with it

One problem since 2011. Irritating problem of headlights coming on when indicator stalk operated.
What's most practical about your car?
Electronic hand brake.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Auto shift is 'seamless'.
