Should I buy a Jaguar XK 4.2?

What are your views on a Jaguar XK 4.2 that has done 200,000 miles? It looks and drives well.

The Jaguar XK 4.2 is a great car. It is fantastic to drive and has a luxurious interior that makes it perfect for long journeys. But always be mindful that the running costs will be reflective of its value when new (£60,000).

You can reduce a lot of the costs by sourcing a good independent Jaguar specialist. But you'll still need to set aside at least £1000 for annual servicing and maintenance costs, plus an additional £600 for the yearly road tax.
