>2005 VDP with 13,329 miles...former "condo queen".
Like I've said before, if anyone is shopping for an X-Type check Florida since there are many seniors who bought nice cars, haven't really used them, and now they're showing up for sale.
Case in point, I just (via autotrader) found a '05 with 26K miles for $14.9K in Pompano Beach.
If you're look'n for a car, go south...

Miss my XType
Well I traded in my 2005 XType VDP in on a 2009 XF Premium Luxury
The XF is nice, but I do miss my old X. The old Xtype was going to need $4,000.00 in repairs for leaking oil pan and to replace belts and other normal wear and tear (Brakes etc) at 100,000 miles and the dealer made me a great deal on the XF. But is do miss the smaller car and the all wheel drive, and the the ease of driving a smaller wheelbase. All in all I would go back into the XType in an instant. I can't wait for Jaguar to FINALY bring back the small 4 door car in 2015. Really BMW and Mercedes and Audi are cleaning up in that market space and Jaguar is really missing out on so many of us who want a smaller 4 door. In Chicago that was a PERFECT car. Easy to park Easy to drive, and great in the SNOW and Ice, I never had such a satisfying car. And it was my second Xtype. I had a 2002 XType 2.5 Sport and drove it from new till I traded it in on the 2005. I will trade the XF in on the new XType as soon as they are back and available! SUCH a Great Car!
