Need advice
Hi
First i would thank you all for a very helpful forum. I have been thinking of buying an X-type for a while but it was after i started to visit jaguarforums.com i made up my mind to make my next car a jaguar.
My problem is the country i live in...Norway. Our car tax system is crazy. I would offcourse love to buy a 2.5L sport but for a 2001 model i would have to pay minimum 29000 euros or about 45 000$ and after reading posts here about all the trouble with the early Xtype models im abit scared to spend this much on a car i most liklely will get some trouble with.
And that leaves me with 2 options that will make your heart bleed....the 156 petrol or the.......131 diesel.
I can currently get a very good price on a 2005 diesel with NAV,leather seats etc but will this be a horribel idea?
Should i buy a 2001 2.5 with a minimum of equipment for 45 000$ or one of the smaller engiene from later years like 2003-2005 with nav etc for around 38 000-40 000$ (25000 euros)?
Sorry for all the typos (im Norwegian) and thanks to anyone that can give me some advice
