oh my god. it was not used, it was a demo, sold as a new vehicle.
but anyway, semantics. at the end of the day it is a piece of shit, but i still won't throw the whole brand under the bus (they've done a fair job of that already though...), as i'm still pretty sure the thing was abused before i got it. and fair's fair, the interior of this thing is the best of any car i've been in, from the dash upholstery to the seats to the stereo. i really wish they built the damn things better.
the true sad part of this story is i had to convince my wife to look at the macan. she was dead set on just getting another evoque. just the s model is almost as quick to 60 as my sti...
I'm sorry, but just because it was never titled and the dealer gave you factory incentives, doesn't mean the the scumbags at the dealership didn't beat the ever loving fuck out of it for 5000 miles.

Pretty sure he said they did beat the ever loving shit out of it (or so he thinks) and that's why it's having / had so many problems...

i will partially agree however with the brand reputation. after hearing awful consumer experiences from the past, i thought they had turned the corner with the evoque, after seeing shit like this-
and my wife was obsessed with the looks of the thing. and in all actuality it's a fantastic car, i just think this particular one has been run through the ringer. i have an honest suspicion that this one may have been used in one of the local dealership's "events"... you know, the ones where they have new customers come out and do 'off-roading' things. hence, brand new transfer case followed up by a terrifying wheel bearing noise before its first oil change.
i would have been fine with taking a straight up replacement, but i think after all is said and done with jaguar/lr proper pulling a silent treatment and forcing my hand with legal representation, i'm replacing it with a macan.
