Owner 1 does something to invalidate the warranty, remap or whatever and gets rumbled. Owner 2 Has it corrected by jag and then buys an updated warranty?  only reason that springs to mind.

The point about brakes is interesting, wonder if yours are just newer. In any case, I hope you find the right one

My theory ( because the dealer has no idea himself)

First owner sells car in August 2016 with 20 months manufacturers warranty remaining.

New owner insists on a full 2 year warranty so dealers adds this as part of the sale. Two warranties running side by side.

Shame, nice looking thing!

I like a red interior (hence speaking it on the bmw) but I'm not sure about red inside and out as they invariably don't match.

As you say tunnie, hardly a sleeper  . Then again, were those wheels unique to the R, or did jag do what everyone else did and allow you to spec all the external goodies with a poxy 2.2d under the hood?

Also, is this different to your current one in any way? I thought you had a FL one already, or did jag make tweaks to the car during its life?

Car virtually identical apart from 21 months, 37000 less miles, and £14000.

That's not a lot for £14k cash. 

Love outside colour, very similar to my CC 

Personally I would think an all-black interior would look better. 

I thought your car was white.

So it is. I stand corrected.

What do VW call that particular shade of red?

Fortana Red 

Very posh.

The CC always reminds me of a Mercedes CL coupe from the rear.

I would have gone Merc CLS, but could not find what I wanted for my budget at the time.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I agree that is not a lot to show for £14000.

......actually it was £14995 plus my car. £24000 for mine and a paltry £1000 off the new car.

Only done 10,000 miles from new being his mantra.

[Viral_Jim]

Try telling that to the first owner, who paid over £25k for the first 24months and 10k Miles of ownership 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

......and another thing.
The trip over there highlighted just how utterly piss poor Jaguar Sat Nav is.

The system in the mighty Signum is far superior.

Makes yours a bit of a bargain I think.

Very true! 

Big cats are a great buy....... second hand!

Quite an achievement considering you can't even put a full postcode in it

You do realise that you are talking about a car that is up for sale at £39,995

True, Al.

But the Signum Sat Nav, despite being far from perfect, understands I'm driving in England and not Outer Mongolia.

I've bought houses for less than that, admittedly in 1984

Not a million miles away from the most expensive Mondeo.

.......and how about a new 3.2 Elite for £33000 in 2003? ( Did anyone actually pay that?)

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I know what you mean, Robert.

My first house cost £41050 in 1990.


Father in law paid £5000 for a four bed detached in 1971.


My parents paid £1600 for a thee bed semi in the fifties.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

.......and still on houses.


I'm pretty sure my grand parents only paid 'a couple of hundred' quid for a house in the 1920's. Rent would have been ten bob a week way back then.

In 1964, when I was 11, we moved from a terraced two up-two down, with no bathroom, into a three bed terraced with a bathroom. Dad paid £1995 for the three bed and got £450 for the two bed.

Even in 1964 that was not a lot of money for a house. I'm guessing the house was not in Surrey.
