New member - possible first time owner with questions!
Hello! I'm currently looking at a 2013 XJ, but I have no experience with them. A little background - My current car is a 2009 Mercedes CL550 which I absolutely LOVE... but a building fell on it and no one will touch it for repairs. It had some special packages on it so I know I'll be disappointed if I try to get a comparable one, so I'm looking into other areas and really like the looks of this car.
The one I'm looking at is a 2.5 hour drive, so I'd rather do a little research before running down there. Thoughts, recommendations, and especially comparisons if you're familiar with the CL550 would be fantastic.
We do not have a dealership where I am, but we do have a good shop that works on imports. There are dealerships 3 hours and 2.5 hours from here in cities I visit regularly, so if it works better to use an actual dealership for regular maintenance issues, that shouldn't be a huge issue. Thanks in advance from a hopeful new owner!

Hi thinkimasofa,
Welcome to the Jaguar Forums!
I have copied your post to a new thread in the forum for the X351, which is the Jaguar factory project code for a '13 XJ, as C216 is the Mercedes platform code for your '09 CL550.
The link below will take you directly to your post in the X351 forum:

Cheers,
Don
