I can't believe this is happening...

Is the leaky rear seal a big issue? Its not really leaking or even forming droplets, its just a tiny bit of wetness caked with dirt.
As you can see, I'm trying to justify the purchase, especially now after my X350 appears to have a new coolant leak somewhere. And they are willing to take it as a trade.

Does anybody know if it's indeed illegal for a dealership to divulge the service records of a car before actually buying it? I tried calling Jaguar of Thousand Oaks to inquire about any possible records on this XJ and the woman very snootily told me no. They would only divulge the service records to the current registered owner. True or false?

Have you checked the Carfax for the XJ. BTW as a SuperSport owner, I had originally ordered a 2012 and due to them delaying the production date to late in the model year I rolled my order over the 2013 because of the 2013 updates. Jaguar was even offering me a "deal you cannot refuse" on the 2012 and I told them do not tell me the number as the updates for 2013 were so extensive and I wanted the 2013 "refresh". Yes the interior is Semi Analyn and the headliner is leather, but the Audio is so much better as is the ride, transmission, and NAV.

Yes, I've read that the 2013 and aboves are much improved over the 2011-2012s.

A couple of cold 6-packs can be very persuasive!

When doing a google search of the VIN, several of the prior owner's posts from various enthusiast websites show up, along with his contact info. So I've sent him an email politely asking about the history of the car. Hopefully he won't be bothered.
The dealer has emailed me several times asking what it will take to make a deal but they are still reluctant to accept my offer. Hopefully they'll agree by the weekend.

Well was it qualified for CPO or did it have a CPO warranty?
Two different things.
My CPO is 100K/6 years so there are variations too. Don't assume or trust anything that's not in writing!
Be sure and get the "in service date" of the car as that's when the clock starts running. My 2014 ran out of the 4 year warranty in August 2017.

If it was truly sold as a CPO, then it should still be covered. The car is a 2014 model; right? So the earliest it could have been built would be late 2013. Odds are it was a 12 month lease or something similar if it was sold as a CPO roughly a year later. You should be able to confirm its warranty status with JLR if you have the VIN. That would certainly make it more appealing! On the other hand, as clubairth1 said: don't assume anything! Get verification!
