Hi and welcome to the darkside Luke, I mean amishboy...
Well, one of the reasons you're getting a good deal on the X is because it's really not that popular of a car...(sorry to say) Most yuppies go for the Beemer and Mercedes, but only the few who know good quality, sexy hot vehicles with great curves, go for the X type.

I must warn you though...be prepared to get singled out with phrases like " Oh he drives the Jag, he's got money"or, "hey sexy, what are you doing later" (preferably a young BB female saying that)....
I've been given so many complements on my X type and asked out so many times that I lost track...... and when I do get a compliment...it's like yeah ok, whatever, shut up, go away. lol

If you think it's the car for you..and have what you want.....I have 2 words...Get it. You'll never regret it...

As for problems....hey it's a car....will you have some problems?? Probably....but take care of her and she'll do her best not to let you down....

 

Amen Brother!

 

I'd have to say that I like my car a lot. I didn't think I would when I first got it. I was looking at getting another Lexus to park next to my current Lexus.

I found the Jag and it was a great deal! Racer is correct though, people will think you won the lottery. You will get more compliments than you think! I was REALLY suprised how many people compliment my car ANYWHERE I go.

As far as getting women with it..well, I haven't confirmed that yet

I think the car is pretty dang reliable. Jag went with a very simplex design with this car and used tried and trued parts. It would be nice if there were more Jag dealers to service the car. I have to drive 3 hours in one of two directions to get OEM Jag services.

I think that the X-type is more reliable than a Bimmer or a MB. Jag. can't even come close to Lexus as far as quality and reliability(but hey, not much does)

I agree with Racer, get it! How equipt is it though?

 

Hey Amishboy,
All of the above comments are sooo true.
The X is a sexy lookin car and gets loads of comments as I can atest to.
Jeez, when I got mine, I was on to my boss a while later and it came up in conversation - I swear there was a 5 second gap in the conversation ( like - how can you afford one of those0
The wife loves it as she gets attention everywhere she goes.
In short - as racer says - its a car and you will have problems, thats part n parcal of owning a car, nothin too serious though if you take ur time and do ur homework and get a good one with all the service history and receipts.
