Default I Let The Jaguar Run Off Into The Jungle Today

Yep. I'm a deflector. I traded in the XJ8L today I LOVED the car, but too many little things were failing

The key fob died, headliner sagging, fog light went out, headlight going out, no seat heaters on front seats, rough ride over ANY road imperfection and the last straw was when the "Engine Coolant Low light came on 3 times last week even though the level was full.

Since I drove a G35x for 7 years with nary a problem other than the CD player dying, I decided to give the M37x a try and found one with a good service history, clean CarFax, and decent price. I also considered an E350, but after the test drive I was unimpressed.

So today I picked up a 2012 M37x in silver with a black interior. So far, i'm loving it.

We will miss you... how long did you have your XJ8L? How many miles?

Sucks to see you let her go. All those little problems could have been fixed for breakfast. Anyhow good luck on your new ride. They say you can weld the hood tight on Nissans and Infinity's and drive it forever..

I had a 2008 M45 for a while and my girlfriend has a 2011 G37...EXCELLENT cars, but they just seem to lack character for me at least. Good luck!

The Jag is a love hate relationship.
Don't own one without a extended warranty.
They're great but with most expensive cars, they require lots of maintenance and income to support it.
Try owning a Bentley.
