Car talk

"A Jaguar X-Type is a Ford Mondeo. Depending upon spec there can be a greater or lesser degree of mechanical difference from the Ford, but the underlying platform is all Ford. You get a different set of body panels, nicer paint, and a much swisher interior, but buyers know what it is. Once you get to cars this old, the legendary build quality and long term reliability of a Toyota will start to make the value proposition much closer. "Older Jags have also had a really bad reputation for build quality and reliability. They have taken a long time to live that down. The current cars are holding up well, and are really nice. The XF is still built on a Ford platform (Lincon) but the difference is significantly greater than with the X-Type. Top end Jags, (F type, XJ saloon) are a very different proposition. But as noted above, once any very high end car gets to a certain age, their resale value drops badly due to upkeep costs that are still proportional to their new purchase price."

Anyone driven a Volvo? https://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/ctd/5884036473.html https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwi/cto/5889096596.html https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwi/cto/5851745993.html vs Subaru Outback

I can almost afford an Audi TT https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/cto/5886890651.html https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/cto/5846113701.html https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/cto/5849684775.html https://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/cto/5836639936.html "engine has a hole it can be welded" WTF!? But really I should be looking at 4-door all wheel drive sedans for maximum practicality.

The Titty Twister!!! Sick roadster, pretty much all audis r nice. That 1st 1 had too much problems, 2nd is rebuilt title, 4th has a fckn hole in the engine? Is no one taking care of their cars nowadays?

After going over all the cars in my area. I'm really thinking about a Mazda Miata. But I'll be looking at MR2's also but not common.

I'd say get a Subie cause I got one, and they're pretty legit cars, but if you can score a MR2 or Miata for cheap, go for it.
