Trade in my 04 corolla for a 05 Jaguar Type X what do you think?
.

Yes my dad is willing to give me his Jaguar for nothing but I have to give my corolla to my cousin. Both cars are around 90K.

Is this crazy? or stupid?

I know Jag is all wheel drive, but not as good on fuel, insurance may be more $ and repairs are more money.

The good thing this is going to be the family car, I'm keeping my Yaris!

Thank you

do it!

Hope you have deep pockets for expensive Jag repairs.

Insurance would cost me $20 more every month!

I'd avoid it. Sure it looks cooler to pull up driving a Jag, but in the long run, I'd bet $$$ that it's gonna cost you...

but to each their own. I would personally keep the corolla.

haha.... now, you have to go ask this question on a Jag forum and see the opposite response

I'd keep the Corolla, I don't really like the styling of the X-type of that generation.

I did, and you are right!

I also did it in other forums and I'm getting a mix of opinions

keep them coming, thank you

hahaha.... yeah I guess you're right, the best place to ask is not on a Corolla OR Jag forum

So we traded cars over the weekend and after driving for about 250 miles going here and there we came out with a conclusion...

NO WAY!!! we are keeping our COROLLA!!! turn out that our car is in much better shape than the Jag.

I figure out that the Jag. was going to be trouble sooner or later, suspension, wheels, tires, alignment issues, overall it wasn't as good as the Toyota.

and Better millage (of course) 37.8 vrs 22.4 MPG

Thank you everybody...

PS... guess what? My dad fell in love with our Corolla!

The S type is just a nicer looking ford taurus, with triple the repair cost!!

Keep the corolla...

You can get many other very nice cars for the same price as the Jaguar.
