Default Mick from Oxfordshire saying hi👍

Hi all, I have been thinking of buying a XJR Jag for a few years now and hopefully when our car sells, I will be looking to finally buy one. Prior to buying, can I ask what to look out for and are there any years that are more problematic than others please? Also, what are the servicing costs like, I suppose finding a good independant Jag specialist would be the best way forward.
We will be down sizing to one car and I need to convince my wife that this is a good option LOL!
Thanks in advance
Mick

Welcome to the forums Mick,

Your post was automatically locked because you used an emoji in the title. I've unlocked it.

More than problematic years is problematic previous owners. History is critical when assessing a used Jaguar. A well maintained example of any XJR will be a pleasure to own but a neglected example can be a money pit.

Depending on which XJR you are considering, follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xj-xj6-xjr6-x300-26/ to the X300 (1995-97) forum, https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xj-xj8-xjr-x308-27/ to the X308 (1997-2003) forum or https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-x350-x358-28/ to the X350 (2003-09) forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' threads at the top of each are a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/ to find other members in your region.

Good luck in your search for your Jaguar and enjoy the forums.

Graham

Welcome to the Forums.

Graham speaks very true on the pitfalls and sheer pleasure of the "R" spec Jaguars.

The wife is your problem, HA>
