X308 curiosity

I wouldn't say the X308 are horrible. If you shop right, you can find a nice example for a very decent amount. 3 major issues to look out for:
1) nikasil lined engine - many claim that after a certain amount of miles nikasil will hold and perform better than iron lined motors, but I don't buy into that.
2) non-sc XJ - automatic trans A-drum
3) plastic timing chain secondary tensioners
I like the 96-97 xj6 for its reliable motor, one of the best engines Jag ever built.

My 2002XJ8 VDP has been a remarkably dependable luxury dream for 87,000 miles to date. Most of the replacement items seem to have been done under the Jaguar Select Edition extended factory warranty. I'm reminded repeatedly the I probably will have transmission and other problems on the horizon, but it certainly has been a dream so far!
