While I haven't had my SVX to very long I have followed the online boards about costs of repair. For the past three winters my fun car has been an 89 Jaguar XJS conv with that wonderful V-12. You need a second morgage just for an oil change if you let a dealer to it! Takes 12 quarts of oil!. Had to have the cats replaced. Wow there are 4 of them and the cost was over $2k. Replaced the dis cap cost for the part was $265. But boy what a nice ride. So much so that I sold the 89 this spring on ebay and bought a mint 90 that sits in my garage. Looking forward to driving the SVX for the next 3 winters in Maine.
