Default Why hello there

New member reporting in. Picked myself an 04 XJR with 175k miles and thought I would stop by and say hello. Use to working on Cadillacs but looking forward to this... uh adventure.

Hello,
Congratulations on your new Jaguar! At 175k miles, if it's Adventure you want, Adventure you'll get.
(Actually, you'll get Adventure whether you want it or not.)
Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Haha why yes. That is what I expected. But hey! I am not afraid to get my hands dirty, and of course the car has been well taken care of and looks great. My wife thinks I am crazy as I have an 06 Pontiac torrent with 230k and an 04 Cadillac Deville with 216k. So this is technically the baby of the fleet.

Welcome aboard. I would not be afraid of a high mileage but well maintained Jaguar either.

Exactly, and of course with any used car, regardless of mileage, there may be a surprise or two. But I am having a blast so far. Very fun car to drive. I love the all aluminum body, supercharger of course, and I have been searching for a black on black car for years and found one. The style is very nice and holy cow is the hood massive when you are sitting in the drivers seat.

Welcome to the forums arctic_man,

Good to have you with us.

I can see you've already found your way to the X351 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US Midwest Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-midwest-39/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
