Thumbs up No way back

I've been test driving a 2003 X350 S/C yesterday, I should not have done this. There will be no way back!

What a car! I'm not surprised about the enthousiasm I see on these forums. I'm planning to do repairs & maintenance myself, so I look forward to be a part of your community.

Tomorrow I will do a final technical check on the car. If all ok, fair chance that it will be mine. Keep you posted!

Regards, Paul



Update: I got the car!!!!!!!

Welcome to Jaguar ownership and membership of the community of owners !

Your car is same year as mine, which still looks immaculate at 8 years old and 55k miles. These cars are not fault-free, but if you can do repairs, most stuff is DIYable, it's the cost of the parts that makes people choke a bit. The air suspension compressor does not last long, but if you think of it as a consumable like tyres and brake discs, it's not too bad. These are now half the price they used to be a few years ago - the power of the aftermarket.

Welcome PPaul, looks like you also succumbed to cat fever. One drive and it embodies itself in your blood and there's no way out...
You'll enjoy it here..
