A friend stopped by & showed me his latest purchase,
an XK8 convertible.It has about 80,000 on it,with the engine
rebuilt at 50,000 miles.In almost perfect condition.
Then,he had to tell me what he paid for it ...$5,500.
Let's see - Miata,or Jag?For that price,I'd take the Jag.

Jags and Saabs (and maybe Rollers) have about the biggest depreciation out there.
 
With exception of the E-Types. :wall:
