Update: I traded cars again :)
Some of you may remember me from when I had a 2001 TL, it had an incurable shimmy so I eventually traded for a 5-series BMW which I loved.
Being the short attention span guy I am, and also having an intolerable 45" commute each way for work the stick shift in the BMW started to get old ... so I traded yet again. Hello, Jaguar XJ8:
Gotta love Jaguar depreciation where you can get this beautiful 1998 XJ8 with 47K miles and an extended warranty good for 5 more years or a total of 100K miles for only $22,500. Yes, it's fast. It handles about the same as my TL which is to say a lot worse then the BMW. Gas mileage is horrible. Interior is nicer than anything I've ever sat inside of except my uncle's 1999 Rolls-Royce or a Vanden Plas which is the same as my XJ8 except stretched and with a few interior upgrades.
You guys gotta test drive one of these sometime, assuming you can stomach the styling.

Nice car. And the '98 is pre-Ford, right?
A copperish tint would look nice, with at interior. The price and warranty sound great, too. :-D
