Hi all,

I owned a 1987 SERIES III XJ6 for about 14 years. A great car but it did throw a couple good repair challenges at me. Alas that car ha to be put to rest a couple years ago. I've just picked up a 2002 X-Type, 3.0, 5 speed manual, silver on black leather with under 85K miles on her. This car is actually for my kid, but I like it so much I might have to get one for myself (we live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains east of Placerville and get snow). Anyway, my son had a nice 1985 Porsche 944 that he totaled into a tree after hitting a buck. He was fine as it was the passenger side o the car that took the hit, and there were no passengers. My wife was adamant that he be in something with oodles of airbags after that, and he wanted a manual trans, and I wanted him to have all wheel drive if possible. THe X-Type seemed to fit the I'll. This car has a salvage title from a rear end accident 7 years ago. I picked it up for $3600. It does have an engine noise issue that becomes apparent after the car warms up, a rata-a-tat that starts at about 1800 RPM or so, I'll post this for discussion in the X-Type forum.

Thanks,
Dennis
