Default Time for new Jag

I bought a 2003 XType in 2011, been very good to me, now has 200,000 miles and starting to act up to often.
Looking at a 2014 XF 3.0 SC. AWD with 60,000 miles.
What to look for or any other thoughts?
Also have a 2001 XK8 in Silver, I love to death.

I bought that exact car last year, bought with 75K at a Jaguar dealer, now with 90K just did the service ( and then some) I am in Old Saybrook, pretty close

not looking to sell but always willing to consider it. But come take a test drive any time as you are looking to see what the car is like

That said, well maintained car for sure. Issues are in the forum, I will try to list most common to less. I put guesstimates for independent shop ad 20-50% at dealer

Water pump 450 at a shop
Various electrical gremlins, ie parking sensors, tpms,
Supercharger coupler ( Can go as fast as 30K more likely 60+ - mine went around 80) $1500
Supercharger Snout bearings (same as coupler and gets replaced at the same time) +200 and above
Coolant pipes (especially rear crossover, SC needs to be pulled so above +200 and above)
Noisy Mechanical Fuel pump (especially front) 450 at a shop.

Of course check brakes, look for Oil change records ( more than dealer recommended is best)
The 5,0 engines are known for oil starvation and timing chain issues, so listen for TC noises.V6 may/may not have this same issue

Maybe others can chime in.

HAHA classic, it's on my list.... If they fix that and all the others for the same price or less that could be a deal
