I am selling because I have too many cars & my main need is for a truck. As I am 'motivated', I am looking to sell at a price that may be much less than other vehicles of the same model. If I was to keep this car, I would like to address the minor cosmetics & get rid of the transmission delay.The majority of the issues asyou can see, are minor.This is a wonderful car to drive & invariably, I will get compliments when I am out & about.This car needs a new home with someone who really appreciates the beauty & quality of a Jaguar.
