So today is exactly one year since I bought my 2008 XK. It was a one owner 35k miles car which took me a year to find after deciding to move from my very reliable x300 to the x150.
Just the fact that I remember that it was this day a year ago that I made the purchase tells you how I feel about the car. I chose the 4.2 l over the 5.0 liter for many of the same reasons that have been discussed here in several threads.
After 1 year and exactly 9k miles (and I only drive it when the roads are dry) I love the car and look forward to getting into it every morning. I've had the glove box issue where I've had to use the cotter pin method to repair it and I will need to have the headliner redone soon. I hope I don't jinx myself but I'm now on my second well kept 10 to 12 year old Jaguar and I'm delighted with the reliability.

 

Weres the party

 

It was 2 years for me.
I have fallen in love with a car again.

 

That begs the question of who has had an X150 XK(R)(-S)(GT) for the longest? I have been driving them for just over 7 years (4.2 XKR for 5 years and 5.0 for just over 2) but there must be people who have owned them for longer.

Anyone had one since 2006?

 

I've had mine for going on 6 years and 25,000 miles or so and it still puts a smile on my face every time I get into it.

 

Purchased my. XKR in 2010. It had 30,000 km on it. We are past 150,000 now.
Runs like a charm. Handles like a dream..
And I have never let the maintenance get away on me.

 

I've had my 07 for a year and a half and 12k miles. I've done routine maintenance (belts, filters, fluids) and had to pop the washer hose back onto the pump for the wiper washers. It's been less intense than the 10 years I've owned my 00 XKR, but both have been very good cars to me. My 2000 has been through my first post college job, 3 serious relationships, to my current state. I've become attached to it, and since it's got meh resale with 110k miles (despite it's probably in better cosmetic and mechanical shape than most 50k mile cars due to just replacing tons of stuff), I'll keep it and use it up.

These X150s are great cars! Good headroom and legroom (unless you're dumb enough to ride in back), pretty easy to get in and out of, easy to drive normally, nice enough ride, decent power, easy to work on, and oh, they look VERY attractive. My 69yo mother drives my car on a regular basis as it's so easy to make it just a regular car; which I mean as the highest compliment.

 

5 year for me still smile

 

I Started with an 08 XK in 08 for 45k miles, then onto a 12XK for 4 years and 51k miles and now I'm on a 13 XKR (bought new in 16) with 44k miles and I have enjoyed every minute. I think this current one is a keeper unless I find a 15 XKR with minimal miles that I can get very cheap LOL.
