Original owners may shed 'troublesome' cars after shorter periods of ownership than more satisfying ones, but I meant that economic conditions worldwide did not exactly IMPROVE after 2005.
Rougher patch yet 2008 to present-day, first US, then EC. Now China.
And those are the largest markets by unit-count - most especially for luxo cars.
The envious may say 'there goes a fool with more money than brains' when a luxury car passes by. But the reverse is actually more likely.
Whatever ELSE they know or do not know, they managed to find the wherewithal to lease or buy the costly creature. Can't be TOO damned stupid...

Roads are no issue in Northern Virginia, but garage length-less-obstacles and carparks can be, and so far I am delighted with the XJ8-L in both of those venues.

A departed friend of mine left instructions that she be buried sitting at the wheel of her pet Corvette. Rules and regulations as they were in her State, didn't happen. B'lieve there WAS a case of someone being so interred in another state, but that it wanted a right costly, sealed, above-ground structure to meet the codes even so.
Anyway.. it is a dis-service to the vehicle and to your own legacy.
Far better to gift it to someone worthy who will appreciate and care for it, become able to purchase one or more new ones over THEIR lifetime, and thereby help to perpetuate the Jaguar line.
It has earned that right, has it not?

Production numbers
Here are some reported production figures on the X350 from the book, "Jaguar: All the Cars".
2003-27,811
2004-15,100
2005-13,594
2006-10-,032
2007-10,270
2008-5,192
2009-837
Total production: 83,566
Since cars built in 2003 to build up an inventory at dealers before the introduction of the 2004 model year will be advertised as 2004 models, I think these numbers explain why so many 2004's are for sale. My 2004 xj8 was one of these, built in June of 2003.
