lol, jaguar has never been the picture of quality. My uncle had one years ago that refused to drive when it was wet or humid outside. He had it all of 4 months before he ditched it.

I don't know about the Jaguar but my stupid Lexus GS300 w/30K miles on it now has a transmission problem. Its gears are slipping like a burned out clutch.

So much for Lexus quality, at least for me.

I've heard somebody say if you buy a jag you better by two. One will always be in the shop and that way you have the other one to drive.

Check your tranny fluid lately?

I had all my fluids replaced 1000 miles ago when I did my oil change unless they forgot to do it.

I'll have to check.

Thanks.

That's likely. My Honda Accord coupe was *certified* (100+ point checkup, everything should've been done) and they didn't replace the tranny fluid (it needed it).

You never know. The GS300 is a nice car though methinks
