Default There are still some bargains out there - 45k 2013 X351 -$21K

I'm back in the Jaguar family! My 2013 Audi Q7 was starting to act up as it closed in on 100k miles, and once it let me down twice within a week, I started looking around. I really loved the X351 from the moment I saw it, but I live on a steep hill that doesn't get ploughed when it snows, so 4WD was a must, and my XF SC was parked a few times during previous snow events. I was casually looking for an XJ locally and came across a 2013 3.0 AWD in the most perfect color combo (for me) and the dealer had just reduced it from $26k for $21k the day before I purchased it, so that was a good sign! It was a 3 owner, local to Portland (so no hot weather to encourage the sticky button syndrome) and was a former Jaguar CPO. It has an excellent service history with a revised water pump at 25k and lots of other regular maintenance. The dealer I will take it to is only 4 miles from my house, and it was the same dealer that sold it new and where all 3 previous owners had it serviced, so they know the car! The XJ has only done 45k miles and it really is pristine, and the clear bra really helped protect the car. I got it for $21K OTD and with my exchange it was only a few $k and I got a car with literally half the miles. The car did throw a CEL on the way out of the dealer, which turned out to be a bad O2 sensor (I am aware of the TSB) and was replaced without any question. The car sat for 3 months so that might have had something to do with it,.... So far, so good and I love the way the car drives, it really is a very relaxing and reassuring car to drive, even when rapid progress is desired!

You got a great deal on a teriffic looking car!

Well done Sir! I need to sell my 2012 5.0 N/A...but I can't part with her. The local dealer offered me $22000 if I traded for a LR RR Sport 5.0 SC. Nice offer, but I'm looking at a Genesis GV70 3.5T as I still have the 575.

Only the best offer will ****** the '12 from my hands,

So, you bought your XJ for $21K. In view of the people out on the road, they actually think you are driving a $75K car. For the way it was kept by the 3 previous owners, it sure looked like a $75K car . No kidding................
If it was me, I'll have the alloy wheels painted with gunmetal gray color. Blends in with the color of the car. But that is just me.
Congrats
