Default First question!

So! I hear there are certain years that Jaguars are “good” or “bad”. I’m looking at used ones the XF and XE. I have been looking as far back as 2010 to 2017

Any suggestions on years to steer clear of ? Thank you so much!

Nicola,

Slide on down the Home Page a tad.

You will find the XE Tech Section, there is a lot of advice etc in the "stickies: at the top of that section

Same goes for the XF (X250) and (X260) models.

ALL Jags, well any car for that matter, are only as good as the previous caretaker.
Service records on the later Jags is more important than colour etc.

Members in those 3 Sections will also advise what to look out for.

Good luck

Welcome to the forums Nicola,

I've merged your two separate Intro threads.

More important than “good” or “bad” years with any used Jaguar is “good” or “bad” previous owners. Regular maintenance is crucial to keeping them in top condition and a neglected example can be a money pit.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xe-x760-85/ to the (X760) forum for help, advice and information on the XE and this one https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xf-xfr-x250-44/ to the X250 forum for the XF. You can also use the US Lower Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/u...r-atlantic-66/ to find other members in your region.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
