2011 Jaguar S-Type - Prestigious nightmare
I bought this car thinking it would probably be my only chance to own a vehicle as prestigious as a Jaguar. I loved the color, which is kind of a very light ocean green. I was swayed by public opinion and the desire to own something of luxury. I am sad to say this car has been nothing but a money trap, even right down to replacing the Jaguar icon on the front of the car (which is the only way to open the hood), as it was stolen right off the car. That cost me a good 400 bucks.
Story
When my cousins were in town, we were all carpooling somewhere, and I asked my younger cousin to drive my car. He had no idea he would be driving a beautiful Jaguar. He was so impressed and proud. He and his mother took pictures and put them all over Facebook.
Pros
The prestige. The luxury. The heated seats. The seat position memory. The on-board Wi-Fi. The advanced stereo and CD player functions.
Cons
Even the smallest repair on the car costs a fortune. New windshield wiper—50 dollars. Replacement of Jaguar statue on hood—400 dollars. Forget about the price of gasoline. This car is a worse gas guzzler than my ex's truck. It's putting me in the poor house. And every time I drive it, the resale value goes down, leading me to believe that if I don't unload it soon, I'll regret it.
