No...wish I had the talent....I bought the car three years ago from a buddy who used the local dealer (Ft Worth) for all regular maintenance....It had about 225K (mostly highway) miles when I bought it. Other than a couple of tires, a leaky A/C seal, and a trunk actuator, I have had no major problems until about three weeks ago. Just had the air suspension (all four) replaced with the Arnott springs. Rear passenger had failed (Air Suspension Fault/Car Too Low) so I replaced them all. Used a local mechanic (formerly of a dealership). He also did the A/C.

XJ8 2004 75,000 Considering a purchase
Would appreciate any advice on my possible purchase of what seems to be an especially good condition XJ8 2004.
My old 280c Mercedes I sold at 200,000.
My current Odyssey is solid and quick at 300,000 miles.
Am I misplacing confidence in my good luck of the past in the XJ8?
Thanks All !

I would never trade my X358 in. I guarantee you that it will be a classic and still turn heads for years to come. What other car on the road will be a real upgrade? Other than some tech features; our cars are king of the hill.

You're absolutely correct! Walking back to my car from the grocery store today and fell in love all over again!!! I'm keeping her as long as possible!

I am at 90k now... Do forum members think of 200k as realistic target? 175k? 150k?
And I plan on doing all maintenance and suspension problems will not make me "get rid" of it. I have a separate budget for that
I just don't want random stuff failing every 3 months with $500-1000 repairs.

I'm a new owner, but these are well-engineered cars - there is no reason they won't run a long, long time. But as the forums show, there are issues that can nickel-and-dime an owner into the poor house, I suppose. My car has 93K, hoping to put about 8000 miles a year on it and have it quite awhile.

I've got about 133K on it right now because my commute is 92 miles one way. I'm averaging about 27 mpg overall because DC traffic during rush hour is horrendous. I don't mind the drive because the Jag is a really nice commuter car. It's comfortable, has good performance and is fairly good on gas overall.
