Default first time jaguar buyer

Hello All,

I joined the forum for advice on buying my dream car a 2006 Silver Jaguar XJ and plan on buying the car in 2014 December to 2015 February.

I'm not sure what to look for and I am concerned with getting ripped off or buying a lemon that is too costly to repair as I have been burned before.

I also want to make sure that I am not overpaying since this is my first time buying a jaguar.

My plan was to fly out to where the car would be for sale, and drive the car back to Chicago.

What advice can you give me in buying my first jaguar so that my dreams come true?

Justicio

Welcome to the forum justicio,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I see you have also posted this in X350 tech forum so you should get advice there from members with the model you are planning on buying.


You can also visit the US Mid West Region forum by following this link USA Mid West - IL IN IA MI MN MO OH WI - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Good luck in your search for the right spec XJ and enjoy the forums.

Graham

Hello Jaguar Forums,

Thank you for taking the time to say hello.

I have been learning quite a bit about the do's and dont's of buying a used car and I'm looking forward to applying this advice while building a relationship with our jaguar owners.

Anyone have any additional advice in finding a 2006 Silver Jaguar XL that will do the marathon when I'm ready to buy in December?

Justicio
