Welcome to the forum bigboychinadoll,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
I can see you've already found your way to the X308 tech forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.
You can also visit the Canada Region forum by following this link Canada - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.

First,Welcome to the forum.
Second,I have no idea what 250000f is but it makes it sound like the worlds most expensive 308?
Third. Documented service history is your best friend.ask if the usual tensioners and chains have been done and when. If not factor in that expense.
That aside I have had years of trouble free motoring from a car similar to that one,and I factored in the the above upgrade which was done recently.
Good luck with your decision and I hope all works out OK for you
Cheers,Neil
