A Used Jaguar XJ Supercharged Is a Lot of Car For $35,000

[@rayward3835]

Doug, I watched this video one year ago and I want to thank you for introducing me to the best car I have ever owned. I flew from Houston the Seattle and purchased a 2013 Jag XJL 5.0 SuperCharged with 22,000 miles for $42K. These cars are absolutley amazing. My biggest suprise was the fuel mileage I got driveing back to Houston. My "Average" speed was 73 MPH and I got 29MPG! At 85 mph the engine was only turning 1800rpm. One year later and I am still amazed and appreciate the car as much as I did the first day driving it back to Texas. A big "Thank You".

[@youspic]

Ray Ward hey dude !! What kind of repairs have you had over how many miles ?

[@sscollantes63]

Nice! Just saw one in CL Houston for 8k but needs an engine, not the supercharged but it is sweet. Congrats on the ride!

[@jjlegend3922]

this video also convinced me to buy an XJL!! I picked up a non-supercharged 5.0 model (I dont like factory boosted vehicles), for only 18k. Has 50k miles on it, and its not the London tan, its the orange-ish and black interior. Almost looks brown!!! I LOVE this car, and i was 3 days from buying a ford Taurus SHO for over 25k. So glad i ended up with this jag.

[@freeman2344]

Wilfred It's great. Some things that annoy me, as with all cars. Had a 997 before and I mainly miss the manual. It's certainly much faster than my 997, sounds significantly better, doesn't rattle like my 997 did and is just as much fun to drive, probably more fun TBH. Traction can be an issue in the rain, but when it's dry out it's not as bad as some reviewers might have you believe. You can easily floor the car in 2nd gear and just rocket away with little to no TC actuation. With a manual it would literally be my perfect car. As it stands, I'll probably get a second car for the summer next year to scratch my manual itch, something cheaper, like an Elise. Alternatively I may trade in the F-Type for a new GT3, if that should actually get a manual again, as is rumoured. Though TBH...as much as I love Porsche, my main reason for getting rid of my 997 was disappointment with customer service, which was incredibly poor over the 3 years I owned it and I frequently ran into trouble with my OPC (everything from cracked windshields to personal insults) - so, yeah, I'm not too psyched to be buying a car from these guys again. They don't seem to be taking younger buyers seriously at all (bought my 997 at 21). Meanwhile, Jag's service has been absolutely terrific up to this point. Time will tell.

Moral of the story is don't be the dumb ass that buys a Jaguar new

[@ryanshannon6963]

Most cars depreciate in value substantially their first 3 years after manufacturing (and being sold). The two makes that tend to have the least depreciation the first 3 years of a cars' life is Acura and Lexus. They're both basically 50% depreciating value after 3 years. This is the first and best reason to never buy a car new, unless you plan on keeping it for 10+ years. I tend to keep my vehicles for a long time and I never buy new. Certified Pre-owned is really the way to go. It's really like you get an almost factory warranty as if you were purchasing new, but you don't have to pay for the depreciation. BMW's and Merc's are pretty similar to the Jag's.

[@murderblade7]

[@Trades46]

Assuming there is a warranty on most of the major components & you don't mind paying 2-3x for each service interval, go ahead. After all as Austin Powers once said, some people "like to live dangerously". I'm most amazed that the XJ is actually LIGHTER than anything in the class; S-class, 7 series, Panamera and Quattroporte. It weighs about the same as a Avalon or 3 series, which is amazing considering it has much more power & luxury features. That's what all aluminium construction does for you.

[@Akash-Watched]

@@theshield1613 Little knowledge is dangerous. In 2008, Land Rover and Jaguar were again on the verge of being defunct due to horrible sales and blunders from Ford. Tata, a company native to India, acquired both the Land Rover and Jaguar Marques from Ford. The two names have now been merged into one as Jaguar Land Rover Ltd. And Tata has been its parent company ever since as Alphabet is to Google. Basically, this particular model depicted in this video is under the Tata parenthood. So Ford just toyed with the brand names for 7 years. They didn't really save it.

This car was just beautifully made. Even years on its still just beautiful to look at.

[@Axethales]

I own a 2012 Supercharged XJL. These are amazing cars, and the depreciation is unwarranted due to an uneducated consumer base. Old Jags had reliability issues, none of which are present in today's Jaguars. That being said, there are still issues with maintenance costs. For example: Brake pads/rotors at the dealership - $2800. If you buy one of these you better be able to work on cars or you will go completely broke trying to maintain the vehicle.

She got a new job and didn't need to drive much so she put it up for sale and I bought it for $19K. Since then I've put 30K more miles on it and the only thing that I replaced was the water pump. It rides like a 510 hp limo when you want it to, and is as agile as a JagUar when you put it in Dynamic mode. The crazy thing is it is still worth $19K lol...

Audi A8, E and S class Mercs, etc. even at 10 years old are so full of tech when fully loaded and you can find them with like 60-80k miles which means they will do at least twice as much without major part replacements... but the downside is that the standard maintenance costs can be higher than for a similarly priced Honda unless you have a small local garage that knows them

[@londguy1]
