First off, Thanks to the Mods here for being able to Look Around without registering. Some forums that I've been to you couldn't see anything without being a Member (of the Club).

Me? I'm a Car, Motorcycle and Bote Nut. (OK, Boat)

I own a Heating and Cooling business at North Myrtle. Electrical, electronics, machinist, welding, auto body, locksmith you name it. I've built kit cars (FFR 427 Cobra/Roadsters) motorcycles to boats. If you understand the above skills you can guess I'm over 50.

I've found a 2003 Type X locally that I'm interested in. I came here looking for known problems or info. The '03 has just over 100k miles and they're upper 6k for it. I haven't driven it yet. I'd rather go look with some knowledge of the "X" that just go look at shiny paint, know?

Pro's & Con's of used X-Types?

 

Welcome to the forum Capt Mike.

You will find very useful information regarding the X Type among other Jaguar vehicle lines...

Check out the X Type forum - X-Type - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum

My opinion - an 03 with 100K miles for over $6K sounds a little pricey... but there are a lot of factors going into a vehicle... I would ask away in the X Type section and see what the X - experts come back with.

When you have time stop by the regional page of the forum to check in on local happenings and information: Lower Atlantic - NC SC FL GA - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum

Welcome to the forum Capt Mike,

Good to have you with us.
You need to head over to the X Type section X-Type - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum and ask the experts.
Enjoy the forum.

If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

Welcome to the forum Capt Mike,

Good advice from Anthony. Follow his link to the X-Type section for advice and information. The 'HOW TO' section there will give you an idea of what can go wrong with this model and therefore what to check when you go to view.

Sounds like you've enough experience not to be seduced by shiny paint!

Enjoy the search and the forum.

Hi there CaptMike & welcome aboard, good to have you here with us

Lovin the X type, had a 2.6V6 Sport AWD, Great car
The X typers will help you with what to look for.............An 04 or newer would be good as all the quirks were mainly worked out by that point, The Transfer cases are the weak point on these and sealed for life is a load of rubbish..............Check the Xtype HOW TO sections

............see you on the forums
