Seriously intending to buy a Jag in the next month or two ..

[ZepSaint]

Hi Guys and Gals,

 

As above, SERIOUSLY intending to buy a Jag in next few months as changing job and am being given some money by new employers to replace current company car ! lol

 

Have always loved Jags and was very surprised to see that there seemed to be a wide choice available in my price range (max £4k in reality) ..............

 

Current fave model to go for is an XF - but can be persuaded to change if its good enough !

 

Anyway, looking for advice on the following :-

 

1) What to look out for on the older models

2) How the general driver experience will be in the future

and lastly,

 

3) What horrors may await me in the future !

Thx for any advice given !

Good morning. The xf is a good buy. Don't worry too much about the milage on these cars as they will have the same problems as any other cars. Just make sure it has a good service history and you will be fine. Also don't listen to people saying the petrol versions are expensive to run.

Thx for the reply - what about the general running costs ? Servicing etc .................

A little more expensive overall as expected. The diesel models are cheaper on fuel but I prefer paying a bit more for petrol and they will hold their price better. Insurance is comparable to any other car as they are deemed safer. In all you are driving a high powered luxury car so you have to pay a bit more for the privilege.  Do plenty of research on the car you are interested in and check the service record.
