Default New Member, Looking to get a Jag

Hey everyone, new to the forums (although I've browsed through some threads in the past). I currently have a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 that I hope to have sold very soon, at which point I will be trying to buy myself a fine Jaguar before spring comes around.

I am wanting to get into an X350 XJR, although I do have a few questions about them, which I will probably end up posting in the appropriate forum for it (wanting to know about year to year changes from 04-07).

Welcome to the forum. Glad you've joined. Definitely should be required reading for any prospective owner. Now it's time for you to hustle over to the X350 section and bone up on air suspensions! Good luck in your search....oh...and when you find it...don't be posting "I found it I found it!" without bringing a picture or two - bad form!

Welcome to the forum fullitorrrrrrr,

Do the research before buying the Jaguar. Too many do it the other way round and then have regrets over options or not checking for known issues.

Good luck with the sale of the Crossfire and you search for an X350.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham

Went and traded in my Crossfire for an 04 Vanden Plas (discovered the 04 VDP was on the SWB and told myself I was ok with the lower power than the XJR) today.

68k miles, British Racing Green with tan interior, everything seems in good shape on it. As an engine NV engineer, it was a joy driving the car back down to Columbus.

I'll need to go out and get some proper glamour shots at some point, but snapped a couple pictures in my driveway:
