Well, a grand over 11K on the cheapest I've seen so far. However that's
not disposable "leave it in a car park all day" money even for grossly
over-paid consultants.

There's also the issue that an XJ6 diseasel can be had for much the same
money as the C6 diseasel and IMO the Jag wins there.

XJ 0-60 7.8s, 144mph
C6 0-60 8.4s, 143mph

The Jag's nicer inside IMO.

will be reliable as the first one was an unusual failure. No one will ever
