I just acquired a "used" 2007 X-type with 175 miles. Just wanted to get involved with a users group that would add to my appreciation of the car. Glad to be on board!

Great buy! Only 175 miles! Outstanding! What color is it?
I bought my X-type 9 Feb but it had 26K miles on it.
Congratulations

I bought it from a 75 year old woman who thought it was too complicated to drive and stayed with her 1978 Chevy Malibu. It was delivered from the dealer with 175 miles on it. It was never driven again. It still has the original leather care tags on it for the interior.

It is BR Green with the beige interior. Beautiful paint!

Welcome BobS311. You have to come up with a better story than that. Stuff like that doesn't really happen. It usually starts with " a friend of a friend of a friend of mine..." Next you'll say you only paid her half the original sticker price. I'm just kidding.

That sounds like a great find. You won't need us much except to add to the appreciation you are going to feel as you learn about your new kitty.

Great find! I hope to find the same old lady in a couple of years with an XF that she didn't know how to start without the key.

"See sonny, I get in it and the lights flash, and this little button blinks, but I can't start it. I hope it won't cost you too much to fix."
I could only dream....

I did check the car our beforehand. No accidents, no claims, no problems. and yes, I did pay about half of the original sticker. I don't know if I'm happier about the car or the deal.....guess I'll have to live with both....
