Jaguar X-Type

BnA

Anyone here ever owned an X-Type.

You could be driving the one below with VRT and all paid for less than 13k. That looks like a lot of car to m efor the money.

I know they're built on the Mondeo chassis which for my mind can only be a good thing.

Also, according to Parkers figures the fuel consumption isn't too bad for a 2.5 litre V6 car

Looks ok. I've not driven one but reports are good. Auto preferred to manual.

HPI check always before even going to see it.

I had a 2.1V6 for two days.............hated it !

The "2.0" V6 was sluggish but very smooth but the car's interior trim felt very flimsy, and looked it too, all that wood & leather but no smell from it !!

The rear is squashy too and the wood look dash looks so obviously a stick on job !!

Anyway I was buying new and by the time I had included the options I had on my C200K the car was costing a fortune ! I ended up changing to a more expensive CLK for less money !

Having said all that, used ones are total bargains ! I drove by the dealership in Belfast and did a double take. I actually went back to see what could be had for the money.................value was incredible !

What are the VRT figures looking like for the 2.5 ??

Yeah, for £5k it's a lot of car for the money. Although VRT is €4.6, so landed it works out at about €12k. You might be able to get a better deal over here

Yeah.... I saw that after I had posted. It does look like good value alright. I think I would like to hold out for a few more extras though. Particularly Leather Seats. (A must IMO with kids)

Anybody own or driven the diesel version?

unkel

You should be able to get this '03 one for about €14k. Good value, but the mileage will make it difficult to sell on again

My Da has the 2.0D version. I haven't driven it but he loves it. He bought it in Belfast btw.
