Is seems like cars come in in the most unusual combinations sometimes. Today it seemed like we were opening a Luxery Car Service center...
2 Jaguars and 2 Lincolns all the same day. Not that long ago, we had 3 Ford Festivas all on the lot the same day. I didn't know there were that many left in the county....
It's weird how stuff happens that way.
Were those the Ford derivative Jaqs?
Yes, They are both in mid 2000's range.
Ford owned Jag (and a few others) for quite a while, and many of their cars are based on Ford platforms. I think I might have made one guy mad, when he asked me if we would work on his Jag X-type? "I can't get anybody to want to work on it..." I told him it was just a Ford with a lion on the front of the hood ;D ;D. "THAT'S NOT A LION.... THAT'S A JAGUAR!!!!" We worked on it for him and got it fixed up - had an engine miss - bad coil like all the other Ford motors do.
The Lincoln LS is very similar to the Jag S-Type.
The S-type has a bad tranny. Now THAT's a little more expensive....
Last REAL Jaguar...like the last REAL Indian....XKE-V-12....although XJ-12s weren't bad, either!
