Sacrilege I know and likely to get me hung but if I was in the market for something like an XJ.........
I'd be buying a Lexus LS430
Big V8.
Legendary reliability
Ride & comfort in spades
Can be picked up for a similar amount to a nice 75
What's not to like
(apart from the 20ish mpg and the styling isn't to everyone's taste
).
