The answers you get here will be 99% from people who never owned one and are regurgitating internet gossip to stay away from any BMW Jaguar Mercedes Volvo euro luxury car. Post the question in a Jaguar forum where actual owners can school you.
Ya, I'm sure that the thousands of jaguar horror stories are all fairy tails, Jaguar has the worst and most stories of any car manufacturer on the market. These just are not snippets.....between the premature failures and all pretty much same components. Hmmmm I wonder why such a premium car has the absolute worst depreciation on the market. There is a reason why a 70k car can be had for 20k 4 years later, and or right around warranty is up. Yes do what this guy said and do yourself a favour and cruise the jag fourms, unlike he didn't do before posting this comment.
Yea, just like the thousands of Toyota horror stories of engines sludging up, GM 3.6L engine timing chain problems, Cadillac Northstar head gasket failures, Ford transmission problems, etc. The main reason they and other luxury euro brands get a bad rap is second and subsequent owners buy them for an image car and can't afford to or neglect maintenance. I've had plenty of Jags and none had significant problems, even a 200,000 mile XJ6 back when people thought they were really bad.
So, out of curiosity, what do you currently drive?
