I know it was a short stay, but the X is gone. I just sold it today. It's sad to see it go but the new car is much more practical for my family needs. Wish you all the best.
Regards,
Ozzy

Well nice knowing you! Good luck hopefully all goes well...If you don't mind me asking what did you pay for it and what did you get out of it? Also motor size and mileage please...I'd like to know as I'm trying to sell mine!

Good luck with your new cars !
BTW, what's the point of leaving the forums when you sell your cars ? Don't you enjoy what's going on here
.I don't have Jags sold them all before registering here but keep on posting as well as visiting the forums
I love Jags and Jaguar related forums
I might buy an Audi Q7 too but I don't think I will visit Audi Forums as much as visit this place and post

Aquill? say it ain't sooooooo! why?

Because I'm going to owe more on the car than its worth very soon...oh wait I already do! I just want to get rid of it while its still worth something...never fear I'll be coming back here! No leaving the forum just leaving the jag ownership...I may get a different one but I don't know...I love the x for its excellent all weather driving but the size is cramping for the wife, me and the son. His baby seat is so huge that both front seats are forward....it sucks...I love my car dont get me wrong and when I went to the jag dealer yesterday I felt like I was right at home
...man I love the new xj vanden plas...that thing is soooo sexy! I'll stay on here if you guys don't mind? Plus every other forum sucks! I've tried asking questions about other cars on the ford trucks website and nobody answers anything...I've been looking into a ford explorer sport trac because its a truck and has the size of suv...I don't know though...I can get a 02-03 mercury mountaineer fully loaded with heated seats and around 60-90k miles for under 9grand so well see....

OH never fear that won't happen! Not necessarily for that reason but for the dismal gas mileage!

how old is your boy? my girl is 3 and we had to get a car seat that sorta reclines to contour the rear seat, this gave us a bunch more room so she wasn't sitting so far forward. it made it so much easier for everyone. hope this helps, still hate to see you go man. Bill

Oh I'll be here for sure!
At this point an R wont be a good idea as I wouldn't be able to afford the r and a decent winter ride...I'd love have one if anyone is donating though...
I'll be a part of this forever...no other forum is the same as this one!

Ditto........
even thoughI've been thinkin bout sellin too, or should I say the wife has. She wants a cheaper run around, diesel preferably. Its eating fuel and the prices are now up to around £1.06 a litre here
We'll see though.
Love the forum even though I haven't been around much lately. Must try harder

1.06 a litre eh...so your looking at what $6 per gallon or so? Or a little more...given that there are 3 liters in a gallon? And our money is only worth 1/2 of one of your pounds...

May be you should buy a 2.2 liter diesel and you know since auto tranny is available that would be easier for her as well

Man I bet the mpg you'd get on that thing would be awfully nice! Bet it has some decent towing grunt too!

Easy there on the Land Rover comments. I've got two kids to get through private school and college! ....
Oh, yes, we sell Land Rover parts, too!

Suffice to say its bloody expensive Aquill.............I have heard that there may be some fuel protests on the way soon. Its really gettin outa hand.
2.2 litre diesel has mega grunt / torque. I had the 2.2 Ford Mondeo ( same engine I think ) and what performance. The fuel economy?? Outstanding!!!

Thats the one you test drove isn't it?
Strike...we need to do that too even though we aren't nearly as expensive as you guys...still the price they can demand is not right...i say its all a scam no matter what all the people are saying...they charge more now because they know they can get away with it is what I say!

I don't mean anything by my land rover comments, but after owning one I know with some certainty you have no problems selling parts for them
