Default shy? ME?

You will be truly sorry if you don't ignore the Jaguar.

Even the GS300 will be head and shoulders over anything Jaguar rolls out.

Default LS series

There are, have been 6 LS400s purchased within my family and local "community", the latest was/is a 98. Probably overall aggragate mileage in the range of 400K miles, easily.

One mechanical failure in all that, an Oxygen sensor.

And but one design flaw. The climate control system.

But by browsing around a little you can read about that elsewhere.

If you want to buy something in the class of the LS400, 430, nothing compares, absolutely!

I absolutely love the Jag... I am planning on getting one in the summer { 97' XK8 }... In a head to head comparison test against the SC400, CLK... The XK8 was the best car there, except in price...

The Lexus is going to be a better car in terms of maintenance... But IMO the Jag is a much nicer looking car with more panache...

If buying used a LS4 will be a better buy... If buying new or used with fact. warranty... It is up to your taste and pocket$$$...
