Several of y'all warned about the Jag and advised extreme caution. Extreme caution was taken, believe me! Still, it was a fine looking deal. Robyn had researched the VIN and found that the car had a clean bill of health. No problems in the past. The guy that had it, got away from it just in the nick of time. Poor Robyn never got to make a payment on it. She did, however, have the privelege of spending nearly $3,000.00 on it for everything from a tail light assembly to motor for rear right window, Throttle body, and the straw that broke the camel's back was when we went out to Momentum Jaguar on HWY 59 just north of the beltway, to pick it up after the window motor rip-0ff ($1600.00) the service guy told her that she was going to have to spend over a grand to get new hydrolic hoses on the convertible top mechanism and that she should not use the top until she gets that fixed.
She looked at him and said, "Well, SOME one may spend that kind of money on it but it is NOT going to be me!" She looked at me then and said, "Well, that about does it for me. I'm going to go over to Sterling McCall Lexus and see what they have for me."
She was serious. Sterling McCall is just up the block and we went straing over there. I told her she was going to take a hosing on the deal because she wasn't going to get nearly what she paid for the Jag. She said she didn't care. She didn't trust the Jag anymore and never wanted to see it again.
Below is a pic of the Jag, just to refresh y'all memory and a few of her new, 2004 Lexus SC 430, Peble Beach Series. They only made 400 of the Peble Beach Series cars and they are awesom. I can't begin to tell you all the goodies it has but a couple of major items are the Satelite navagation system. She pulls up a computer screne, enters the address, and gets a map right to the door. The sound system is unbelievable! When you put the car in reverse the side mirrors point down so you can see the lines of the parking spaces on either side of the car. There are alarms for low tire pressure, low fuel, low oil, low coolant. Whooo-Eeeee just too many things to name!
It has a 4.3 liter V-8 with awesom power. Don't know how fast it will go but it has a speed0meter that is graduated up to 180 mph. I never thought that there could be a care that handled better than the Jag but this baby makes the Jag feel like Pams mini-van. This thing is a real monster. The hardtop convertible is soooo cool.
Anyway Robyn is safe now and she got skinned a little bit but the folks at Sterling McCall were great. They helped her a lot and even though she had a sizable negative equity, and lost some money, She is happy and relieved to be out of danger and in a safe and HOT/COOL new car.
All's well that ends well, eh?
