Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The pounds 13,600 Jaguar XJ6
"GRACE, SPACE and pace" ran the ads for Jaguar saloons in the Sixties, a rare example of hype-free advertising. One thing about Jaguars was that they depreciated like a brick dropped from a tower block. The bad news for new buyers is that they still do. Which makes Jaguars great used buys, especially as owners Ford have improved build quality to stratospheric heights.
The beautifully restyled XJ6 in 1994 looked and performed brilliantly. In 3.2 litre sport trim it would have cost over pounds 31,000. But Kempshott Cars (01256 817356) has such a car, with 72,000 miles on the clock, a British racing green finish and a full service record, for just pounds 13,695. About the cost of a new Ford Focus 1.6 Ghia saloon. Which would you choose?
