Hello,

I''m new to the forum so if I screw this up pls excuse.

I love the XJR''s but am skiddish about maintenance problems. I had a Mercedes CL500 that drove me bananas. Trying to avoid the same pitfalls.

All in all, how have the 2006 and 2007 XJR''s held up? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Tom

just regular maintenance brakes can were fast in the rear .. with the dsc helping you if you give it..

Jag-Genius,

Thanks so much for your input. Other than mileage, are there any special items I should look for when inspecting the XJR''s?

Thanks again for your time.

Tom

ive also heard about suspension airbags leaking on XJs, since yours would be an 06 or 07 it should still be under original factory warranty, however even with the CPO warranty it doesnt cover them after the original is up ( regardless still buy the extra warranty!)
