Hello all,

I was looking up some information concerning maintenance on my newly purchased used Jaguar X-type 2005 Platinum color. Got it for 6,100 bucks. 101,450 miles. Bought it cash because I hate car notes. I plan to be here a lot asking how to perform certain maintenance issue myself, because I just called a local Jaguar dealership concerning how much the 100,000 mile service would be damn near coughed up a lung. 885 bucks. Really would like to keep that lower by learning to do most of it myself.

I leave in Fayetteville, GA.
