    Buying a Jaguar
    We are considering the purchase of a good condition 1989 Jaguar XJS. Anyone have any cautions or advice regarding this specific year/model of the Jag?

    I owned one - the suspension system is a problem on these cars. An expensive problem. I don't know if it's because of the age of the vehicle, mileage - but it was a problem from the beginning.


    EDIT: I read this wrong. I had a 1999. Sorry. Mine was a convertible - I don't know if there are other models. It's the only Jaguar I ever owned and I knew little about the car.
