Hey guys/gals, just wanted hello and share my trials and tribulations of looking for and buying a Jag.
I'm an English guy who moved over to the USA for my job, been here for 2 years and love the classic XJ/XJR in Burgundy or deep gray.
I was reading up on XJ/XJR's and read all about tensioners from 1998 to 2002, found a 1998 burgundy XJR on autotrader, the inspection was all clear and agreed a price accounting for $1500 for tensioner replacement (a friend is more than handy with a wrench) but after taking out a rental car the guy went back on his deal (-$50).
Found a good deal on a 2003 deep grey Jaguar XJ on craigslist and the carfax was decent, the guy agreed an inspection but never heard anymore from him, what a time waster!
My backup was a 1 owner silver 2003 XJ from a dealer on autotrader, carfax showed a great service history and I knocked $500 of the KBB dealer price, after a couple of phonecalls the reputable dealer came down to my price and I'm chuffed to be a new used Jag owner, Awesome!!!
I Look forward to talking to fellow Jag enthusiasts...

There's a lot of Jag heads here in Indy and a really good Jag club. Let me know if you're interested.

just checking in since I saw "Indy". used to live there and many years ago worked at Tom Wood Jaguar. Steve was there then and yes, he IS a great tech. good to hear he's still there. I think Service Advisors Dan and Matt are still here as well. you should be in great hands there!

Here's link to the Indy Jag Club's page on JCNA site. You can find contact info there, or contact Steve Petry, Master Tech at Tom Wood. He's great and will point you in right direction. I believe we have a tech session coming up sometime in Feb?
