Smile hello from Sacramento

First time here, first jaguar...2003 x-type.

I got it just month ago & I love it, small story here, I purchase this car from a Craigslist list guy, I am glad I took this car away from this guy...the car has not being taking care the way it should, I didn't notice that is not loaded...the back speakers are missing, rear lights not working, parking sensors not working, driver seat leather scratch up, passenger side cables are expose under the compartment glove box, air stinks like urine, so far I found one cable from engine fuse box hanging in there.. doing nothing don't know what is for, I change the cabin filter thanks to you guys ..I read most of your stories , thank you, so far slowly I will take care of it...
I will add navigation system, speakers, nice carpet, lights for the hood and the trunk because I can't see what is in there at night, oh! one more thing the car has a rattling thing going on..previous owner remove the back seats maybe is that.

I am from Sac. California .

Welcome to the forum,

Congratulations on rescuing this stray cat. Sounds like its found a good home.

Makes you wonder why someone would have a Jaguar and then treat it like this.

Remember to add vehicle details to your signature to help others give you relevant information.

Welcome to the forum.

Good to have you with us.

Sounds like the PO was parting it out, slowly.

Hope you can get things put right.

Loads of information here and it can be a struggle at first to find your way around.

To put details in your Signature, go to the User CP button at the left of the black main menu bar. Next select Settings & Options then Edit Signature. Enter the details and add a pic if you want.
