Hey guys. Just got my 2005 XJ VDP and so far so good. I paid 20 grand plus 2600 for an extended warranty for 50,000 miles. It had 49,000 miles on it when I got it. Rear entertainment is great not for movies but because I have an aux input which allows me to hook up my iPhone. I have seen many compare the 7.45 to XJ but realistically they are totally different. They are both great cars. The only reason I sold the BMW is because I was up to 130,000 miles and I was nervous every morning when I started the car. Maintenance had not been great with the BMW. I paid $750 once to replace the battery which was not a good experience. I am hoping that things will be cheaper to fix with the Jag. That was one of the reasons I got the extended warranty. I do about 50000 miles a year so I will post my experiences periodically. I think I will try to get it up to 200,000 but we will see.

Hey demir, welcome to the group! You'll save more money learning from these other xj owners how to do some of the little stuff yourself...coolant lines, brakes, batteries, shocks, etc. Save the biggies like emissions and others for the dealer. enjoy the forum!
