Re-sellability of Jaguar XJS or Mitsubishi Pajero

[SurreyGuy]

I'm looking to get one either of these in the next couple of months at a cost of about �2500 - I know I'm not going to get a "minter"!!!!!!!.

I won't be able to afford to run either one for longer than about 3-4 months, but just want to experience owning one.

Does anyone have any opinion on the re-sellability of whichever one I get?

the Mitsubishi should be easier to shift

Thanks.

My brain is not in gear! I meant a Jag XJ6 NOT an XJS! :o)

Has an XJ6 once. A lovely comfortable car but VERY expensive to run, electrics not too reliable and if anything goes wrong its back to a Jaguar agent and mega bucks.

Thanks.

With my luck, I'd get one where something MAJOR went wrong. Having said that, I DO want one! :o)

I don't blame you for wanting one, they are very nice comfortable cars, like doing 70mph down the motorway in your armchair.
I enjoyed owning one but never again unless the lottery comes up and I can afford a new one.

Very high depreciation and difficult to sell especially with the hight cost of tax and poor fuel consumption.

Thanks.

I'm having great difficulty weighing up my desire to have one against the difficulty of re-selling it! :o(

bear in mind that pajero will also be very thirsty (even diesel) and parts also expensive

At the risk of coming over all Swiss Tony...

The XJ6 is Princess Diana - Elegant, thouroughbred, classy, but also troublesome, expensive and slightly unstable.

The Pajero is Charlotte Church - Chunky but cute, no nonsense, relaxed and casual, reliable and easy maintenance (but rumoured to be just a little bit bit thirsty.)

Thanks JamesQ :o)
