Jaguar X-type, 2.0d Classic, 2004 04-reg, full dealer service history, a few chips, £5k

141,000 miles.

That's one hundred and forty one thousand.

Would I be stupid even to consider it? Drives nicely but suspension is noisy (and the engine oil was very black/bitty).

So, really, I just answered my own question. Looks lovely, though (silver). Never thought of myself as a Jag man - must be getting old!
