hey im a new member.... Welcome Me
hey everyone ,
My name i Donald. i live in Tacoma Washington,thats in the great united states.
right now i dont own a jaguar but i am actively looking. I joined this forum to learn more about jaguar before making my purchase.
My mother had a 1998 jaguar xj8 vanden plas when i was a child and that started my love for jaguar,my first car was a 2001 jaguar s type i had it about three days before the transmission pooped out. i didnt like the body type of the s type i am more interested in the xj series. i dont like the 2009+ xj bodystyle i am looking for a 1995 thru 2008 and im looking for some facts on what it takes to maintain a jaguar from your experience also common problems on on the xj series.
i have looked at
2001 xj8 with 73698mls black exterior with black interior the sunroof didnt move but it made a noise af if it thought it was moving and the telescoping steering did not move in and out but made a sound as if it was moving in and out but it did go up and down. Would you think but hearing that that i am going to run into more problems? to me it makes me feel like the previous owner didnt take care of the car.is this one a lost cause

Welcome to the forum Donald,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
As you have already discovered from your experience with the S-Type, broken Jaguars can be expensive to fix. A complete service history and time spent checking everything works on a potential purchase will save you much time and trouble. On the other hand, faults are a good way to negotiate the asking price down!
Follow this link XJ ( X308 ) XJ8 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X308 forum for help, advice and information on the earlier 1997-2003 steel bodied XJ8. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues. For information on the later 2003-2009 aluminium bodied X350 model, follow this link XJ ( X350 & X358 ) XJ6 / XJ8 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
You can also visit the USA Northwest Region forum by following this link USA Northwest - Washington/Oregon/Idaho & SW Canadians - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.
Graham
