I have wanted a Lexus RX since I first saw a family member drive one when I was in grade school (almost 20 yrs ago). So in October of 2017, I came here with my boyfriend to meet with AFTON in hopes of getting a Lexus RX 350 as a birthday gift... Well the numbers just did not work due to the negative equity I had to carryover from my trade-in; I was CRUSHED to say the least. My bf kept telling me you can try it again next year & I was so OVER him saying that until I realized he did it b/c he was going to propose to me a week later... (mic drop) He wanted my birthday to be memorable b/c of him not the car, lol... We got married in July of 2018!!! So here we are an entire year later, my current car is still in good condition but could use some TLC that I was going to have to pay for out of pocket. I looked into multiple other options & dealerships, but the road led me back to AFTON... It was a Sunday evening & I kept thinking about our first interaction when she told me she understood my situation b/c she had been in the same one & worked her way out of it. I couldn???t afford to wait any longer & the clock was ticking on me making the decision to refinance my current car or just get a newer one, so I looked for AFTON???s number (still in my phone from the previous year) & texted her right then... I thought ???This is CRAZY! She???s not going to remember you & it???s SUNDAY... She???s not even at work!??? I???m happy to say I was wrong... She did remember be & she texted me back promptly that same evening. By the next morning (Monday), I had texted her all of the info for my trade-in to see how much they could give me for it; by Thursday evening I was able to visit the showroom again... This time I had ZERO EXPECTATIONS! I told her I just wanted a newer car that was affordable & she said she could definitely do that. She remembered the car I really wanted from the previous year???s notes she???d saved & within 30 minutes had found a newer one in my price range... We took it for a test drive & I FELL IN LOVE, but I still tried not to get my hopes up b/c ???what are the odds this is going to work out now in less than a week???s time & I wasn???t even asking for it?!???... Well it worked! I spoke with AFTON about financing over the next two days (Friday/Saturday) then picked up MY DREAM CAR on Monday afternoon!!! AFTON was wonderful throughout the entire process. She was down to earth, relatable & kept me informed every step of the way! AFTON is AWESOME!!!
2014 Jaguar XJR LWB Review
Excellent machine

A proper balance of class and undetectable power. The perfect toy, but also the perfect rocket, built with British pride, allowing for fun as well as long distance comfortable driving.
People--If you want to buy a car this is the only place to go. I went to 8 dealers and looked at 18 Cadillacs.
After wasting my time and gas, had to go back to SC
Car Zone. They had the cleanest car, honest staff, and great selection . It took me 1.5 hours to pick my car, get approved, and drive away. Then I thought I needed
to find a gas station right away(according to reviews)
looked down and found a full gas tank.
I'm 60 bought 20 cars and never had it so good.

Comfortable when driven normally has been great on longer drives. Stupid fast when driven irresponsibly, a fun, fun car to drive. Handles like a much smaller sports car. Really a terrific example of a daily commuter that can be a serious performer on the weekend. I have only had the car for a few weeks so my reliability rating should be listed as unknown.
I have been a Jaguar fanatic forever. I have several Jaguars, including an onyx white/champaign 2002 XJR. I now have 57,000 miles on her. This cat has everything to offer, power, luxury and an affordable price tag. One thing I LOVE about this car, is that when most people look at her, they see a beautiful big car. Almost everyone sees the XJR as the XJ8. Big, heavy, and not THAT fast. But when you put her in sport mode, and put the pedal down, she will leave ALOT of cars on the road today. Its fun to see the expressions on peoples faces as you blast away from them in a car that is twice the weight of their car! Not only do they have a great amount of power for such a car, but it comes with style, class, and elagance. Nothing speaks elagance like a Jaguar. The ride is stiffer than the standard XJ8, but its still ALOT better than most cars out there. One thing that suprised me about this car is the handling. You would not expect a car of this size to be able to handle a really tight curve almost as well as my miata, but she does!(not as good as my miata, but she really truly handles well). Jaguars have a bad reputation for their electronics, and reliability. This is not the case in these cars. If you maintain them as reccomended by Jaguar, they will last a lifetime. Its not that common for something to fault, but if it does, fix it right away! Dont be lazy. Rust is another thing that Jaguar has a bad reputation for. These cars do not rust like they used to. They do have one trouble spot that I know of, and thats in the corners of the rear window. If you drive it in the rain, dry off that rust spot, to try to prevent it. The rest of the car should never get rust. When you buy a Jaguar, you basicaly are joining a club. Other jaguar owners will park next to you, because they know that Jaguar owners care for their car, so they dont have to worry about door dingeys, if they see your keys, they will start a conversation with you, they will smile at you, wave, it's an awesome experience, and I reccomend it 100%.

Jeff the sales man did everything to make our experance great. He took the time to let my son look at some dream cars. The whole process was very fast and pleasant.
1998 Jaguar XJR Review
Best Car I've Ever Owned

This is the best car I have ever owned, any year at any price. I purchased my XJR 4 months ago and quickly realized this was a special car. It will blow the doors off my Porsche. I was sad to discover that former owners had not kept the car up cosmetically, so I spent the 7K to put her back into excellent condition.
I get asked about this car several times a week. Random people ask me if I would consider selling it and the answer is, no. I have a feeling the value of this car will go up exponentially, especially the earlier ones like my '98. Now is the time to buy why they are still somewhat affordable.

Flying to across county to Cleveland for a special truck a lot of trust was needed for Mr Auto’s integrity. Quickly I had to set off, (returning in four days!) and, potentially, to learn the hard way if the truck would perform.
Other than a few minor issues that I don’t fault the dealership because one can’t expect perfection on an older used vehicle. There was a small forward vibration so I needed to have the front wheels re balanced $28.)
Other than that minor concern and after over 3,000 miles I can say I’m most happy with my classic 12 valve 1997 Dodge Diesel which, after having it professionally checked out, is everything Bruno and Kory said it was.
In fact, next Summer I plan to fly back out, looking to buy an economical car from Mr. Auto, and tour the Northeast visiting friends. I trust them to guide me in my selection.

If ever there was a car that made all the right noises, conveyed class in just the right measure and performed like Arnold Schwarzenegger on steroids, it's the tasty supercharged V8 XJR.
This model is one of the most beautiful cars for the money, extremely fast, luxurious and reliable. However insurance and parts are expensive. Probably because it was $76,000.00 new. All Aluminum chassis. Rare Classic most defiantly!
Very professional and to the point. I worked with business manager A. Barone from a distance and in person. The communication was excellent through emails and phone calls.
The vehicle was exactly what I expected and more! It was very clean in the inside & outside... Loved it!!! Beautiful jeep, aka "Wild Horse"¿.
The other staff was nice and courteous as well. I would highly recommend this dealership! It was worth my out of state travel!
Thanks again Mr. Barone!!!
This Vehicle has all the features you need with incredible comfort looks and plenty of horse power. Handles very well on country roads and loves the highways.
When the XJR came out in 1998 it was the fastest sedan ever produced. For 1999 it got competition from the Mercedes E55 and in 2000 the BMW M5. The 1999 XRJ beats these on styling, just have a look at them now in 2010, the others have aged, but not the Jaguar. Reliability is top notch, not a single issue over 5 years of ownership. The Pirelli p-zero tires last only 10k miles at the most, go with a different tire unless you have to race all the time. This is a comfortable and very fast car, it will put a smile on your face every day.
I drove in from the city to see a '04 Jeep Wrangler. They were honest on the phone, and in person. They made sure to adress my concerns with the vehicle by making the repairs. They even included a soft top along with the hardtop at no additional fee. Finally, they were flexible with my need to commute and ultimately made the entire process very easy and simple. Couldn't be happier with my deal!
2006 Jaguar XJR Review
Most Reliable Fun and SUPERFAST car owned!

Unbelievable comfort and luxury paired with super fast speed and handling. Amazing Mix of Fun and Luxe! This was a rare color and a head-turner as it blazes blue/green in sunlight. You wont find a better mix of luxury and pure speed paired with this car thats been always dealer maintained and in show condition.
After purchasing upwards of 20 new vehicles in my lifetime, I have to say the Ford F-150 I bought from Julie at Napleton Ford last week was my best hassle free experience to date. Julie was patient as I decided which model was best for me, was not pushy and was able to answer all my questions. I would recommend Julie and the Napleton Ford team to anyone interested in purchasing a Ford product.
2000 Jaguar XJR Review
a bit of advice

This is a wonderful automobile beats anything from the competition in terms of style and performance. I cant say enough good things about this car. A word of advice is hang on!! very powerful and very easy to spin tires. Ofcourse because it is the highest performance model jaguar makes expect high part costs which is part of owning a jag yes but the nicest jag made too. This is a performance car for the enthusiast who can afford it not a kids car. Go into it knowing what you are getting dont act so surprised after all it is an XJR
I own a 2005 Jaguar XJR, now with 76k miles. 0-60 in 4.8 seconds, and acceleration on the highway when passing people is second to none. Enthusiasts can tell the difference between an R and an 8 (grill, wheels), but it surprises everyone else with the speed. I avg 23 mpg which is pretty good for 390 hp supercharged V-8, better than other cars I owned with over 100 less HP. Not the most comfortable for cross country trips, as it is more for sport, but the sound system is amazing and keeps you wanting more. Blows away my MB S600. Catches everyone's eye, and looks amazing. If anyone has any suspension issues... check your battery first! Easy cheap fix. or any expensive car with air suspension.
