My 2005 X-Type 3.0 VDP edition turned 100,000 miles today. I need tires again now, and other than some warrantee items and normal wear items like brakes & rotors the car is wonderful. I am looking at a 2008 that just came into my dealer, and it is fewer miles and 18 inch wheels (5 spoke (r type?)) but with some paint dings etc. My 2005 has better overall interior & exterior condition with 17 inch Belize wheels. Also thinking about a 2008 S-Type but worried about winter snow driving in an S-Type. Seems like many here are keeping the X after the 100,000 mark, and that is encouraging. My dealer also says that of all Jaguars they see more X-Types with over 100K miles than any other model and wish Mr Tata would bring a new X-Type replacement to the USA because the smaller AWD car is still so popular.

Well, I just got my XK8 with 86,000 miles on it. So far I have replaced one O2 sensor and both knock sensors. My main concern is to get it through smog here in California. Then there is the "convertible top not latched" message. And the "ASC not available". And it seems that almost all of the plastic pieces are broken or missing or loose. I have ordered a replacement for the drivers door panel that is flopping loose, making it hard to open the door. And the gas cap cover won't open with the switch, I use the release in the trunk. Both power seats were inoperable. I repaired that with some replacement modules. I could go on, but I think you get the idea. I thought I was buying a fun exotic ride and I got a major project. But, I will sort it out. Hopefully when I am done I will have a fun ride that I can be proud of.

2007 Sportwagon/Estate 91K miles. Strange grinding sound especially when coasting but gears shift smoothly when accelerating. Taking her in for a look - no idiot lights either. Ticking sound when stopped in gear but goes away in neutral. This can't add up to anything good. Wish me luck. Otherwise she's a fun ride.
