Have you actually looked at the Jags or are you just repeating the same BS that all Jags are unreliable?

Yes, a lot. I absolutely love how they look and how they drive but every long term ownership experience I've read had a litany of high dollar repairs. Have you ever put 50,000 miles on one?

Edit: I don't mean to say they're not better than they used to be; they are! They're just still not "set and forget" cars like some of the competition has become.

I took a '94 XJ6 from 65,xxx to 112,xxx. My only problems were other people running into the damn thing.

It was significantly more reliable the hand-me-down Ford Taurus that preceded it. They're beautifully designed and really not that hard to work on. Maintain it yourself, and maintain it well and it won't be a problem.

She'll love this.

Newest I6 E39 you can find? I don't think an E36 would be the right car for a former Towncar driver who wants an automatic.

I also like the LS/GS Lexus idea.
