Hey everyone, my name is Art. I currently reside in San Jose, California. I'm not a Jag owner yet, but I'm in the process of finding a 2016 XJL.

I'm extremely excited as this has been my dream car since I first saw it as a broke college student about 9 years ago and now I'm at a point where I can afford it.

I'm in negotiations with a dealership outside my area for a 2016 white xlj with roughly 24K miles. It's CPO and has only been in a minor accident (I assume since it's been certified). The CPO warranty will be good for another 3 years. If I can get a price that I'm looking for I'll hopefully have it in my garage by next weekend.

I would love to hear your tips about anything specific I should be on the lookout for when buying a used XJL and what I can expect as far as maintenance costs. I heard older models before 16' had issues with the sunroof and I also heard things about water pumps.

I'm looking forward to connecting with people here and learning more about this beautiful machine!

Welcome to the forums Art,

Good to have you with us. I hope the deal works out - CPO Jaguars from a franchised dealer are the safest option.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

I got a call from the dealer yesterday saying they're going to give me the price I want. Waiting for this weekend to finalize things and I'll hopefully fly out sometime next week to pick it up. Super excited. I'll post some pictures as soon as I get it.
