Just took delivery of the "new toy" -- a 2007 XK Coupe with all the add-on packages, and a complete service history since new.
With 77,000 miles on it, the only outstanding service item I can find is transmission fluid and filter replacement, all of the other "known" problem areas have been fixed.
I have been a Saab fan for decades and have probably close to 750,000 miles in Saab 900s and 9.3s -- so the Jag is a bit of a change.
I am keeping the Saab Aero (ever so slightly modified LOL) as my daily driver until it dies -- probably another 200,000+ miles -- but look forward to using the XK as the Grand Touring car for those long interstate trips.
70K miles is the right time for a transmission fluid and filter change so it's not far beyond. I used my last 2007 for extensive European touring but the present travel restrictions have so far limited me to only one long trip in my current XK.
I am kinda "Old School". Always garage the car, keep it clean, change fluids frequently and use quality synthetic oils. My Saabs typically ran over 300,000 miles and I am expecting at least 200,000 from the XK LOL
