Advice anyone for a first time jaguar owner????
Hi everyone....I'm a newbie here as well as a newbie Jaguar owner. To begin with I checked out the reviews of this vehicle thoroughly before purchasing it and it was given rave reviews.
I purchased a 2003 Jaguar X-Type 2.5L Auto 4 Dr. Sedan from an auction one week ago, I have purchased many cars from auction in the past.
My main concern is the repair costs for this beast!! I can't even find LUG NUTS in my area to fit, I have to buy them online.
I've found a few mechanics in my area that work on Jaguars but I imagine it's still quite expensive. Don't get me wrong I realized this when I bought it but I was just doing a price comparison on a cool site and the Jaguar was 2 - almost 3 times as much on various repairs than other vehicles. Not as much as I expected.
Any advice would be appreciated in this area!!
Thanks from Northeast Ohio!!

Too late for my advice. I would have told you not to buy one unless you are either very rich or very talented and like to work on them allot. Mine is going to be gone in a few weeks. They are beautiful to look at but I really don't trust my Jag at all if I am planning a trip. The old Corvette ain't as pretty but has never let me down.

Welcome aboard Halfmoon.
My advice, join a decent forum... Oh hang on a minute, you just did
As stated, nip on over to the X Type section, the guys will help you along.
BTW, if you anywhere near Powell OH, check out Andy Bernstein one of our forum Techs, he will see you right.
