New Jaguar forums member and first time Jag owner

After doing my research I have done what many may say is outright crazy... bought a X type.

Not only that, bought an introductory year X type

Not only that bought a high mileage (just over 100,000) X Type

I figured if it made it through the 30-80,000 mile transmission or engine failure prone period I may have gotten a good one.

I did take it to Jag (Thoroughbred here in Nashville) and there were no stored fault codes, the dealer network service history for the extended warranty period (that is now expired) had been up to date. There are no leaks and she does not smoke.

Fingers crossed LOL

 

Welcome to the forum Rick,

Good luck with the X.

Welcome, Rick. What year is your X-Type? If you have maint. records to show that it's been well maintained, you should feel pretty good.
