Greetings from Long Beach, CA
Hello folks,
I own a 2007 XJ8 that I bought new (left over 2007 model) in June 2008. I have 66K miles on my Frost Blue/Dove leather beauty. Mostly trouble free if you don't count the recent cooling problems (plastic overflow resevoir cracked and leaking, hose fell off and blowing coolant everywhere and a dead thermostat). In terms of other high end cars I've owned (BMW 535 and 6 Coupe) as well as numerous Mercedes CLK coupes and convertibles, this baby is trouble free! I bought it as an "Exit Car" but at 66 years young, I realize I probably have a few more "exit cars" in my future ( hopefully). While I love this car and had planned on owning it 10 + years, I'd love to get my hands on a low mileage XF or even an E Class (perish the thought). Found a wonderful independent garage here in Long Beach (Silver Motors) that only does Bentley, Rolls and Jaguar and would love to become a life-long customer. Sadly the new car bug is bitting pretty bad. Sigh! H E L P ! !

Welcome to the forum PK,
I very much hope neither you nor the "exit car" are planning on exiting any time soon.
Follow Norri's link to the X350 section for help, advice and information. Even if you plan on using Silver Motors, it's better to be an informed and knowledgeable customer.
Remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.
Enjoy the forum and good luck in the search for the XF.
