Jaguars don't hold their value as well as Lexus for two reasons. #1 is because they are prone to mechanical/ electrical problems(hence my suggestion of an aftermarket warranty, which takes care of that problem) and #2 is because of the Ford Stigma. Those are two things I could easily live with. The point is that the Jag is faster stock than the GS400 and faster tuned(unless you dump serious money into the 400).

Why not bring a big "sleeper" to the track? I find it amusing to bring my "old man's car" to the track and put a whooping on Camaros, Mustangs and juts about everyone else who thinks they have a fast car. I figure a GS could suprise a few people, and the XJR would too. It's all good fun......

the 2004 XJR is WICKED.

As for ones a couple years old, much like the SVT Lighting, you can get a few very cheap upgrades on the XJR and be pulling 450hp
