and introducing in this corner....
I introduced myself in the new member area,,,,
Now I'd like to introduce my car.
She is an '02 X-Type w 127,000miles.
Metallic Blue w tan leather.
3.0l with an automatic transmission.
from what i can tell tell she is all stock, and drives beautifully.
I wasn't initially looking for a Jag, but my VW was showing signs of its age and mileage. So i budgeted some $$ to replace it w a used Honda or Toyota.
As i stated in the new members area, I am a big fan of the older XJ6/12. Even tho they are affordable, I never considered one because of it's reputation for reliability.
But when I found the X, I had to take a look.
I love the more modern XJ influenced lines,
The Blue/tan color combo,
The ride was great, & price was in my budget.
I did find some minor issues w the car & thats when I found this forum to research them. After a few weeks, the car was still available & I was in a strong negotiating position because of its bugs, I pulled the trigger on a really sweet deal.
At the end of the day, I bought the Jag & overhauled the motor on my VDub w/o going over my initial budget. ....I love my old VW, & so glad I decided to stick with it.
As for its issues, I'll be discussing them, looking for solutions as I go on this forum. Nothing major, this is not a project car, but I will need some help from the more Jaguar-experienced as I grow on this forum
You can see more pics in 'my garage'

Congrats and welcome to the community!
I have never seen that color in person, just in pictures. Looks great!
Looks like you got lucky and got one with clear side markers and indicators already! Those can be pretty expensive
