RE: considering x-type...have a few questions re:reliability
Hey mac26mac, mine doesn't have the navigation that you want but it is an '04 with 41k miles and still under warranty until Jan '08. Bad thing is I am in Miami, so if you will really need your miles to come get the car then. Nothing is wrong with the car. It just had it's 40k service at the dealership, and at the same time I had the door trim replaced on the back passenger door. Other than that everything else is great. The reason I am getting rid of it is that my wife is not a fan of the car. She is a diehard Caddy girl and we traded her '99 STS for the x-type and all she does is complain about not having the steering wheel funstions, the memory seats, the Bose stereo. I just don't understand her sometimes. She runs the car now as her daily driver and she will travel roughly 320 - 350 miles before filling up. Not a bad car. I will put one pic up here on this post, but I have more pics on the for sale section of the forum or PM me and I can email you pics if you want.
Price: $14500

RE: considering x-type...have a few questions re:reliability
wow. im glad there are people who are actally happy with these
POS's. around 20,000miles look for oil leaks. I am a Jaguar technician. I have an x-type right now in for an oil pan gasket at 21,000 miles. my 98 chevy has 133,000 on it and hasn't leaked from the oil pan yet. what the hell?
also items to be aware of. oil leaks from the crankshaft seal. rear suspension bushings. the interior peeling away from the inside of the car. transmission problems.
after working on these things. the x-type is by far the worst quality vehicle of the jaguar models.

your 98 chevy may not have an oil pan leak but it's probably leaking from the rear main seal and every other seal, hehehehe (i'm joking).
i value your opinon as much as everyone else's...please elaborate.

Guarantee he's already replaced the exhaust on it! GMC's trucks all seem to have that problem! How come you work on jags if you hate them so much?
Hey mac I'd look at that red one yeah it might stand out more but that has everything and its very a very good price plus it has the warranty for a couple more miles. You could buy the warranty through jag and still be saving some money vs. other ones. I'd buy that if I had my other car paid off!

RE: considering x-type...have a few questions re:reliability
NTI(Not To Idiot), thanks for your honesty. Now we know not to buy your POS! Not everyone has problems with these, and before you come on the forum ripping the car about leaks and ****, think that maybe you're the only one that has complained of such a problem. Maybe it's just you're careless when driving the car, and drove all the way up onto the concrete blocks at shopping malls and smacked the **** out of your oil pan! If your Chevy doesn't leak is because it's so far up off the ground. If you're a Jag tech, then you should know that tranny oil can't really last FOR LIFE. Change it and watch the tranny last longer. At some point you have to changed it! The only thing credible you've said is the crappy interior. Nothing that a little crazy glue can't fix. Also, at twenty something thousand miles, you should be able to get your interior replaced if it's falling off, because you should still have warranty. So much for a Jag Tech! What a fake!

RE: considering x-type...have a few questions re:reliability
Go Biggie I'm with you! Why come on here and complain, we know what these cars are like....we generally own and drive them! Don't we?
By the way if you worked at a GMC dealership you'd hear all of the complaints about them considering thats all you would work on! Go work at a chrylser dealership if you want a better car or perhaps a mercedes dealership than you'd really have something to complain about! Worst of all manufacturers!
Anybody else notice that the price of the x-type is almost half the price of other jags?
