Just turned 39,768 miles (64,000 kilometers) on my 2011 XJL. Just curious how this compares to other 2011 XJ/XJL Jaguars owned by Forum members, as I have no idea how typical owners use their vehicles.

For instance my 2009 Chevrolet Corvette, one of the first built, has only 38,607 miles (62,130 kilometers), not unusual because Corvettes are seldom driven in the Winter in snow-belt states, and some are never driven in the rain.

So, how many miles/kilometers does your 2011 XJ/X-351 have?

 

51050 on my 2011 XJ. Its my daily driver and I love driving it but I do try to get in the NSX every Saturday if its warm/sunny and 1-2 times during the week if I can time my commute to avoid stop-&-go traffic

 

I have 64,000 on my 2011 XJL which includes 7,000 for a trip from Charlotte to San Francisco.

I also have a 2000 Roush Mustang convertible which only has 29,000 miles on it. My wife jokes that the only time I drive it is to doctor appointments.

 

26K miles on my '12 XJL. It is leased with 10K/year mileage allocation and the lease ending in July. Given my limited work schedule (my primary use for the XJL) I should be right on 30K when I turn it in.

In comparison, my "owned cars", the '10 XKR now has 6800 miles and my wife's '12 XF has only 5900 miles. Just purchased a new 2015 Stingray which will share daily drive duties with the XKR once the XJL is returned.

I will miss the beauty and luxury of the XJL a great deal but, not its ride. As I mentioned before, the ride has improved significantly over the past 2.5 years but, still not up to luxury standards.

 

My March 2011 XJL has turned four years old last week, mileage is on 44000, kept it quite low as I use the older car for most driving, the super V8 has covered over 6500 miles since I got it at the beginning of September last year.

 

Thank, Don.
We too are retired, and the wife and I laugh about how doctor/dentist/optometrist/pharmacy visits now seem to constitute a significant portion of our daily activities. I just had a birthday and the wife gave me a wind deflector for my Vette, which now enables me to remove the transparent roof without being subjected to horrendous wind buffeting. She now wants to race me with her Mustang convertible, both cars with the top removed/down. She says if I were a gentleman, I would let her win. It seems your Mustang is barely broken-in.

My 2011 XJL has just under 19,000 miles on it...I don't put on many miles on her, except to drive to work and back, and the occasional trip to the beach

 

Well, the average from this very small poll, so far is 43,564 miles (70,109 kilometers), or about 9,680 miles (15,780 kilometers) per year, which is about average for all drivers in the U.S. in recent years.

Thanks for contributing.

 

Today my 2012 XJL-Portfolio just turned 8,000 miles but by the time I got home and put it in the garage, the mileage was 8,033.
My 2004 Goldwing has approx. 15,000 miles; almost took it out of the storage shed today but decided I'd wait just a couple more weeks and then put it on the road. The wife's 2011 Buick Enclave has approx. 47,000 miles; my 1999 GMC 1500 SLT has about 155,000 miles. When I inherited my father's 1997 Chrysler in 2009 it had just 16,000 miles, now it has approx. 27,000 miles.
I retired in 2011 so not putting as many miles on the vehicles.

 

I'm gonna bring the average down a bit here! I'm on 9400 miles on mine. Although it's a 2011 car, I didn't get it until 2012, as it spent its first year as a showroom queen.

I do about 12,000 miles a year spread across 3 vehicles. My XJ averages 9 miles a day across the year, although that's mainly at weekends. I commute on a 125cc scooter.

 

For comparison sake, I treated your car as if it were a 2012; therefore in four years time will have 12,533 miles, still very low mileage.

 

I typically do 30k miles per year and bought my 2011 Xj 5 weeks ago. The good news is I retire in 10 weeks so the mileage wont be racked up and Iwill have a great car for my retirement. The jag had 19k on it when I bought it so expect to retire with 25k on the clock then less than 8k per year. I know this is a lot for someone who is retired but given I will be doing 22k less than I was, I cant wait.

 

This is a bonus of being retired that many probably don't fully appreciate. I too save at least 22,000 miles a year in personal car travel, which easily saves me $300.00 in gasoline cost a month, before factoring in reduced tire, brakes, suspension, oil/filter changes and other related upkeep and depreciation costs; to say nothing of the dangers, aggravations, and tens of stressful hours spent behind the wheel per month. I love driving, but only when I want, to where I want, in weather I like, on the routes of my choosing, and mostly with my lovely wife next to me. Retired life is great!

 

+1

We're like an old wheel that has been given new life.
Re - tired. And ready to roll!

 

I agree. Retired life is truly great, and when you have an automobile like ours, you can determine when you want to put it on the road and how many miles you want to drive, and in what kind of weather you desire to drive it.
I've put 800 miles on mine since acquiring it in November, 2014 and those miles have only been driving it in the community (usually 20-30 miles) on days this winter when the roads are dry--oops, I did have to drive it from my home to the dealer in Harrisburg, PA in December for inspection, etc. and that was about 250 miles roundtrip.

 

I have 79,456 hard kilometers on my 2011 XJL Supercharged as I am situated in Germany and drive to the speed limiter almost on a daily basis. I would say my average speed is about 110mph. Other than changing brake pads and summer tires on a yearly basis. I got my car December of 2010.

 

So which do you spend the most on, gasoline or summer tires and brake pads?

 

Gas has to be the number one expense. The summer tires are only on from April to October. Then the winter tires come on. Brakes are about once a year and rotors tend to be every other year. I don't pay the German prices for gas. I pay the average of the prices in America. Which for super plus is about 3.12 at the moment.

 

So your car has about 49,372 miles on it.

I too "worked' in Germany for short times as a civilian. It doesn't take long at all to get use to driving in triple digit miles per hour speeds.

The problem is, when you get back state-side, driving at our antiquated and absurdly slow speed limits, i.e. 65 or 70 MPH, makes you feel like you could get out of your car and run faster. And that was when I lived "up north" where people were a lot swifter, and drove a whole lot faster.

Now that I live in the south, where people are far more "retarded" in everything: mental capability, talking, walking, driving, reacting to situations, etc., one really appreciates just how slow we are compared to people in Europe.

 

That is correct. I am a blip away for 50k and I have already bought the German Jaguar extended warranty plan with is from some other company and doesn't cover everything but some coverage is better than no coverage the way I drive. Lol

I have been over here for 10 years and don't plan on coming back anytime soon if ever so I am going to enjoy this high speed driving for as long as I can. But I tell you with no speed limit zones and the quality of their autobahn and their drivers training it really allows you to take a car to its limits. You get an understanding of why German cars are built so well and why a 0-60 time means nothing in the whole scheme of things.

I think it matters so much in America because we are a bunch of stop light drag racers. But to get over here and find yourself doing 150mph for like an hour around curves and bends is like nothing else. Of course when the speed limit allows it.
