I bought this vehicle in 2001 becoming the #3 owner. It had 29167 miles at that time and now 13 years later it has 41085 miles as shown on the odometer. Jaguar classified this as a luxury touring vehicle. It is all of that. In 1990 it came equipped with a glass rear window, heated seats with lumbar control, telephone, 4 wheel abs brakes and all leather interior. All options that was unusual for that vintage. I drove the vehicle from Idaho to Michigan in December 2004 where it was put in storage with a soft cover. On that trip I got 18 mpg. From that time on I only take it out for a yearly trip around the block and back in storage. Any items I recognize as faulty get immediate attention from my local mechanic as the service records indicate. I have noticed the hood struts are weak from the lack of use but was able to get them to hold after some exercise. I have always been very protective of this car as only an obsessive old man can be. It has never been parked in the sun with the top down, seldom driven in the rain and only one time in the snow when I brought it to Michigan. The car still has the original Pirelli tires and comes with 4 new unmounted all-season tires which I bought for safer traction when making the cross country trip. The car has a top boot and tool kit in the trunk and also included is the soft storage cover. I have done my best to represent even the most minor problems. As with any used vehicle it is being sold in “as is condition”. I have a CARFAX report which shows no accidents or damage although the current Autocheck report shows a minor incident. I have asked for clarification from Autocheck because this report is incorrect, the vehicle was in storage at the time of the incident. And I am the only driver. This error has caused me much grief and I doubt the error will be resolved soon.
