If my parents went to the dealer today and bought a brand new one for $27,000 I can PROMISE you man that my parents will get more than $12,000 on a 07 jag from today. I can get $14, $15k for my 04 jaguar x-type.

The only Jaguar to hold its value since Ford took over is the XK. The others just don't hold their value. At this rate, they're meant to be kept, not sold.
Hell look at Land Rover. I looked at a 2004 Range Rover with 50k miles on it. Beautiful inside and out, and this car was well over 75k new...
It was selling for a whopping 28k!!!
Jaguar/Rover is not well right now. They can't afford to market their cars, and they aren't selling by word of mouth, that's for sure.

From benz that link you posted says depriciation after 5 years...In real life the rest of us won't get a deal on a jag like you got on yours. Why do you think we told you to bounce on the car you were looking at? We told you that the car depriciates but the price you get them for you will make money on them. From my recollection people that go into the dealer with a negative attitude generally leave there with an even worse one...check into everything before you do anything. The select edition doesn't cover adjusting the headlights but does it cover the components that adjust your lights? Sounds to me like that is a load of bs because the components in the hids going bad and adjusting the lights are 2 different things...I'd call jaguar up directly or email them. You'd be surprised how they will react! They have helped me every time I've tried!

^ Well I did call the 800 number, and they say Headlights are not covered under Select Edition period. At the same time on their warranty contact in Select EditionPassport to Service, it says "Headlamp Aiming" which is very confusing but doesnt say headlight assemblies. Yes the components inside the headlights have been defective which are the auto adjustment. But the dealer wants to charge me $500. This is stupid. Then they say that SE covers defects, and my lights are defective. This makes no sense. All they want to do is just steal money from me. But I will call them again to see if this can be fix free of charge since I have select. Im not asking them to aim my headlights but fix either the componets that aims the lights, or replace them. Some members say that they got new headlamp assemblies, but my dealer refuses to help, and told me it would cost $3000 for new headlights incl install.

Yeah I seen a new set sold on ebay yesterday for $500. But Im not going to shell out any money to get these fix. I need the forum to help me get Select Edition cover it. Or I might manually move the projectors to go up. Thats all I need. Any imputs.

Seriously contact a different dealer and let them know what is going on. Let them know you've researched it to see if it was something you could do yourself and that you can't and there are people that have had the same problem fixed. Just be courteous and not an a-hole because it will get you nowhere...just do that and than try jag directly saying you don't want them adjusted. They are supposed to do it themselves and supposed to do it every time the car is turned on but they don't and it should be covered. Tell them you wouldn't have bought the car otherwise...one other question though how did you find satisfaction in the mercedes when they are like last on the list with most problems and least help getting those problems fixed?

Too tell you the truth man, I really liked Mercedes, thats all I ever bought and driven in since birth. I begin to like Jaguar bc I found out about the S-Type R. I never really cared for Jags that much but had a liking in the Rs. I had me a C230 and I would take it in all the time, and they covered the entire car under warranty no questions asked. Everyone of my bills was $0 I never paid for anything with my Mercedes. 1-800-For Mercedes was cool too, they always went out of their way to make sure I was happy. Also Free Loaner cars too, mainly Benzes I driven S-Classes, E-Classes, and C-Classes. I kinda miss Mercedes though. Only reason I got a Jag is bc the great deal I got on the STR. Even though the Jag has DVD Navi, and tons of options over the MBI still miss my home, a Mercedes Benz.I was going to get a C32 AMG which is faster than the Jag S-Type R and has a V6 Kompressor Supercharger, but it cost a little bit more, but your driving a Mercedes, and you know CPO will fix all your problems for $0.
This forum isnt like Home, unlike the Benz Forums Mbworld, and Benzworld has close to 100K Members on each forum. The Jag forum only has 2500 Members here. Theres a difference. On the Benz Forums if I had inquirys I would get tons of responses and tons of help its not like that here. Also on a Benz I have tons of Mods I can do and plenty of tuners, unlike Jaguar theirs pretty much non. I dont feel like Im at home with a Jag. Im already at a bad start with the dealership refusing to cover broken HIDheadlights, and want to charge outrageous prices, plus diag fees. How is this Home ?
Heres pics of my last two cars I owned in the last 4 months

Frombenz - just reading your posts and you don't seem a happy chappie mate.
Don't get me wrong, we all like sumthin for nuthin, or at least to feel like wer'e getting what we paid for, but I think you really want it all, you want it today and for nuthin....get real mate.
You had some great looking cars and loved the Mercs. MB is a bigger more popular brand for sure, no doubt about it.
Oh by the way.....you tend to exaggerate ever so slightly, just checked MBworld and they have errrr 74k members NOT 100k........What else do you exaggerate about?
Hope you get your problem sorted one way or another with your lights though

My Jag X-type Sport I am purchasing this weekend was originally bought at Howard Orloff brand new in 10/2001 and was maintained religously at Patrick Jaguar and once at Imperial Motors. The factory warranty was still in effect at that time but never a dime was spent at Patrick for any of the oil changes or 10k interval checkups. Jaguar loaner cars every time too. I have no personal experience with them but I would consider them as a viable option.
I just bought a JTIS Service Manual CD off ebay for $17 shipped. It should have the procedure and part numbers needed for fixing the headlights.
Reminds me I should check my Xenons auto-leveling when the first turn on to make sure they work prior to pick up.

I'm a mod on another site and a member of 2 others.....This forum for camradderrie and friendship as well as good technical info is far better in my opinion.
Don't get me wrong, there are other sites that concentrate more on the technical side and are very very good, however, nowhere near as friendly.
