Hello,
Recently purchased a 2004 3.0L A/T X-type with 17,000 miles. Still has the original tires and battery! Very impressed with the car; I love the ride, the handling and of course the luxury features. I moved on from a Volvo S60 which was good but had such a stiff suspension it felt like an earthquake every time I hit a pothole. After searching for some time and looking at everything from a Camry to a Fusion to a Malibu, I couldn't resist this low-mileage X-type. Hoping to get some tips on maintenance since the usual mileage schedule is so far out of line.

 

Congratulations on your 'new' X-type.
Even though your tires might look really good, ten year old tires are very dangerous. I know.

I don't mean to frighten you, but would be in your best interests to get new tires right away as seen in the following post:
