I agree.

BUT

It would be GOOD if your area of abode is mentioned. That will have a HUGE bearing on advice.
Help us to help you.

What works in OZ is not the best in Alaska, for example.

ALL my Jags have been daily drivers, the early stuff all had towbars, and trailers etc behind were the Norm.

The most reliable 6cyl were the Series 2's, I KNOW, too old for you.

The V12 were all in a world of their own, and faultless to me.

The newer stuff, I am not a fan. The 2 S were OK, the X does test the brain at times.

XF S/Hand, DO YOUR HOMEWORK, as a negklected, uncared for, car will cost you big time.

I fear you miss Grant's conditional advice . . . the past life of a second hand Jaguar living on alternate snow and summer tyres/tires in Jasper Canada will be entirely different to its cousins in red hot Arizona or inland Australia, where 50C (120+F) can challenge even modern vehicles . . . and, also, that so much depends on the evidence of well maintained servicing.

Trading away that evidence can turn a bargain into a money-pit in little more than a heartbeat. A good example of this would be cutting out and replacing rust in the body panels . . . a pointless and increasingly expensive exercise that often returns like a never ending nightmare. Best advice there is walk away and find a better example.

Of the 3 Jaguar models you nominate, there is little difference in mechanical or electronic reliability in the ex-factory cars. The variability arises from the attention (or lack thereof) by owners.

Cheers

Your missing the point?

Grant Francis is trying to help but again we have to play 20 questions because you won't fill in the details and keep repeating the same questions?
Again where are you located?
