Default First time Jag owner, glad to be here!

Hello everyone!

I'm 27, in the military, based in Texas, and I've just purchased my first Jag, a 2009 XF Supercharged. I can't say that I'm not excited to put it through it's paces!

I have question already, though, how much should I put aside for repairs? I have around 3k put aside right now, with another 2k on the way from my old car. Is this enough, or should I continue saving?

I'm just a bit worried from the horror stories you hear around, and any advice would be much appreciated.

Anyway, I'm glad to be here!

Welcome to the forum chefhathaway,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

That depends on whether you intend to do your own maintenance and repairs or pay for expertise.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.
