Hi yall, New here, I dont have a jaguar yet but am looking quite seriously. Im very new to these cars and dont know alot about them. Im usually a truck guy but want something more comfortable and a little smaller than my 7000 pound yukon xl for long trips with just me. I am currently looking at a 2007 XJ super v-8, I guess this means its special or what ever. Has 49,000 miles on it and is clean as a whistle. The power is awesome too. But Im not sure what to look out for here. What problems might occur at almost 50k. Also im not one to stick with a stock stereo, how hard is it to add aftermarket subs and component speakers to one of these? I want to keep the stock head unit due to the very easy to use nav system. Also how are these as far as reliability, one reason im looking at this as im selling my silverado due to it being a huge money pit. I will buy a new truck in the spring, but right now a sedan for going out to fancy restraunts or traveling long distances is what I need. I have checked out the infinity M45, S600 mercedes, The Lincoln MKS with its ecoboost engine, etc, but non feel as special as the jaguar. I also do not like the looks of the new ones, I test drove it and the interior is awesome, but the exterior looks to much like a ford Taurus to me and I cant live with spending close to 100 large on a car that looks like a 30,000 dollar ford.

Really just wondering what should I know about these cars, any surprises, things to look out for, etc?

 

does the car have stock subs? I have no problem throwing a box in the trunk with two 10"s or 12"s with thier own amp, I also want to amp the new components, could I just have a shop put a line out converter on the back of the stock nav unit? All I need from the stock system is signal. It will just be controls after im done with it and even with subs in their box it leaves plenty of space for my one duffle bag and laptop, If I ever carry more, I just throw it in to the bottomless pit that I call a GMC yukon xl.
