Soon to be a JAG owner
Hi All,
I currently own a '03 BMW 745Li and a long time member of bimmerfest.com. I am looking to "upgrade" to IMO a more reliable car. I've looked at and read up on the 07/08 & possibly 09 XJ8 VDP model. I know these cars can be expensive to maintain, but with proper on time maintenance you get better results. What should I look for when looking at these model years?
I've read suspension parts.. any oil leaks/coolant leaks, etc I should expect?
I saw a '07 VDP with 55,000 for $21,500. Is this a good price?
Dealer says they have all the service records. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and I look forward to being a contributing member of this forum.

Welcome to the forum sghanie,
Good to have you here with us at Jaguar Forums. I'd expected from your Visitor Message you would be joining with a different name.....
Follow this link XJ ( X350 & X358 ) XJ6 / XJ8 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X350 forum for help, advice and information. Many members post links to ads for vehicles they are viewing to get advice and opinions. Can't recall anyone ever being jumped to the deal because of this!
You can also visit the US Lower Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/l...c-sc-fl-ga-66/ to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.
Graham
