Just joined the site because I'm at a crossroads with our '04 X-Type 3.0. Just clicked 142K on the clock, starting to get nervous. Bought the car in '06 w/18K, certified w/select warranty. Oh, and neighbor is master cert. Jag/Rover tech. So car has been scrutinized for every little issue until the 100K was up. New trans under warranty at100K. Other than that just maintainence, and devouring tires like their cat food, it been great.

 

Sounds like a good car, Kay! I wouldn't worry too much about the 142K on the odometer. Keep up on routine maintenance and it should treat you well for many more years / miles.

BTW... I'm a transplanted Michigander. My family started around Holland; my wife's around Detroit. We both lived in the UP for years (went to MTU). The biggest concern for your Jag in that area is the salty roads. Get your Cat's undercarriage washed regularly in the winter.

Welcome aboard Kay!

 

i agree Kay, if you've taken such good care of it in the 5 years of ownership, that should mean more than just an odometer reading. Do you trust someone else's used car (if you go used) or would you rather keep a car that you know where its been, and how its been treated? As long as you still have a high level of pride, and enjoy the feel the car gives you behind the wheel...my choice would be easy.

If its a new car you seek as a replacmeent...well, my advice is just useless letters from my keyboard
