Just took delivery of the "new toy" -- a 2007 XK Coupe with all the add-on packages, and a complete service history since new.

With 77,000 miles on it, the only outstanding service item I can find is transmission fluid and filter replacement, all of the other "known" problem areas have been fixed.

I have been a Saab fan for decades and have probably close to 750,000 miles in Saab 900s and 9.3s -- so the Jag is a bit of a change.

I am keeping the Saab Aero (ever so slightly modified LOL) as my daily driver until it dies -- probably another 200,000+ miles -- but look forward to using the XK as the Grand Touring car for those long interstate trips.

 

Welcome to the Forums.

Yep, clean oils/fluids, clean fuel, clean air, they will go insane miles, mine all have.

Good luck.

 

Welcome aboard.

Welcome to the forums Kiaorana,

70K miles is the right time for a transmission fluid and filter change so it's not far beyond. I used my last 2007 for extensive European touring but the present travel restrictions have so far limited me to only one long trip in my current XK.

Thanks Grant!

I am kinda "Old School". Always garage the car, keep it clean, change fluids frequently and use quality synthetic oils. My Saabs typically ran over 300,000 miles and I am expecting at least 200,000 from the XK LOL

 

Thanks Daf11e

 

Thanks Clarke

 

Thanks Graham: Useful information.

I I have already been through the Newbie FAQs page, and found the XK/XKR forum but had no idea the was a Westen Regional group.

I am fortunate to have Scott Savage, the former Western Regional Rep for Jaguar as a neighbor -- a handy resource.
