Buying A Jaguar X-Type
The first part of the motorcycle to the car.
The second part from the convertible to the sedan.
Buying A Jaguar X-Type.
BZ my car here
The long wait came to fruition.
The CLK is no longer seen as a car that fits me.
I began to look for more earthy, practical car, at least from the perspective of the 4 doors.
Fantasy always played and struck in the head is fundamentally different ideas.
According to numerous reviews of friends and different people, all encouraged to look for a new car.
So it was under warranty.
-Is your car what is needed?
— To go...
And the ride will be only a new car
Various related academic and Zhorik revazova proved that the old car is a constant attention and problems. With tears, I began to look for new tricks, the Cruzes, seeders and other cars in this class that you could take for 650-700K
And I thought long how to describe this moment: it dawned on me, it must be a Jaguar!
It was. On my way from home to work in the yard is a X-type.
I remember when I first saw this car in his hometown, in the early 2000s.
I was amazed at the salon. The abundance of leather, wood, beautiful wood. Classical English interior.
This car looks many times more expensive than its nominal value, I would think they could not that he in the range 400-800K. There was a friend who this car was. Phoned, talked, found that as word of mouth. Very positive feedback.
I began to look for information. Club forums Jaguar. And one of them is: Club forum Jaguar
The people on the forum have also responded very positively.
Love these cars, comrades. Love them.
Even if they are not the most reliable, though they are not perfect, but if this car gets into someone's hands, usually he takes the living and does not let go of its owner. These cars don't buy on the principle just to get around. And this is what I captivating the most! Exactly the car I was looking for for themselves.
Very long suffered with a choice of diesel or petrol.
Diesel:
Front-wheel drive.
The volume 2.2.
Low consumption is 6-8 liters.
The service is more expensive than gasoline in 3-4 times.
Not like a bad diesel fuel, which in Russia is sometimes enough.
Difficult to find parts.
Gasoline:
2.1 — front drive.
2.5 — four-wheel drive.
Flow in both the order of 12-15 litres.
There is still a 3-liter engine at full drive, but I did not consider default.
It is worth noting that I had the practice of using both gasoline and diesel engines, but it was as much as 10 years ago. I had new cars.And this car is already the 8th year. Diesel I liked. But the market is almost not there. And that there were adequate reasons. Life has taught me to listen to public opinion, at least in order to draw a logical chain:
purchase-maintenance — repair — reason for sale.
Review owners and repairmen, it was decided to stop at 2.5 and to exclude from the selection of diesel totally.
Pay attention that the car was not very much. They are definitely not many on the market, as well as BMW&Mercedes&Audi. It is a certain fact. Jaguars not so much. Jaguars are very small, I would even said so. But there is a attractive moment.This car, as everyone knows, is based on the Ford Mondeo 3rd generation. The design is old and relatively simple. Hence maintainable. Forums is many times confirmed.In the end, I chose this car:
1
2
3
Separately want to note the level of fluid in the Jaguars.
The cooling system has certain characteristics and requires attention.

We agreed to meet and look around the car.
2007
Mileage 123 000 km.
Guys, I got into it and realized in 2007, but it's still the same car.
And did it efficiently. All the highlights that I wanted so badly — observed.
Only thing missing was a monitor and a wooden steering wheel. But the monitor is not the problem.But the wheel would be replaced.
We drove to the diagnosis and began to look dry and the bottom of the Jaguar.
And it is also a special moment. Basically, everywhere is somewhere and something is leaking. Because the owners of jaguars go rapidly, and this has a detrimental effect. The driving style of the former owner said to the contrary, and the lift confirmed the good condition of the seats upgraded chassis. The only traces of fluids — antifreeze.
At that time I did not understand the whole essence of the situation, but intuition told me that the crazy money is in any case will not cost. The real reasons I will describe later in the next post :)
STO
We went to take shape.
Spent about 30 minutes and signed the OST with the keys and documents.
Went for winter tires in Lyubertsy from Lublin. I became a little bit "frostbitten" and realize that I had just bought the car. This moment came.
Not to jump ahead...plans for the car yet will not sound.
Let me just say that on 1 November I became the proud owner of X-type.
I will tell the details, which is enough for 3 weeks of operation.
Looking for here is a wheel with wood. Color as in the photo.
steering wheel with wood
I think...maybe grille. Maybe music will change, although you do not want to get rid of the original design. Only if the monitor is put, but under the original frame )
The main thing — do not overdo it.
Oh, and welcome to the club (not advertising) XD exist.ru/cat/TecDoc/Cars/Jaguar/4741/6E50000B
Yes, I myself do not feel like. He's cool) although some personality to give you can.
And then took the boar six-liter? :))) Very cheap car? The 140th...how many in this word! Stunning car!
What was once almost took this, looked at the prices for parts and forgot about it! And tales of the Mondeo also dismissed at once!
DmitriyVin
Jaguar — a car made for maximum driver comfort. Like no other in the world.
this S-Type, X — completely different machine. There is nothing in common except visual similarities
Pricenice. But I'm afraid that "tree" means a akvapechat. And do you have a picture — question. Like, for this case has not had all the panels to redo
KINDER-S
Thank you for the congratulations ) very happy. I really want the cat on the hood. But on the grid I think, but should I?) about wooden steering wheel and new leather think. Anyway, I have apparently a rare color of wood.
Friend bought a donor?
Rare color of the wood?
www.jag-lovers.org/brochu...005_10-02-11-055_47_l.jpg
Bronze Stained Sapele — the Most popular of all. But to find a wooden steering wheel will be difficult only because those who have it not sell it ))
FonGarer
Bars this I mean images.car.bauercdn.com/u...ypecarreview.jpg?mode=pad . About the wood in the cabin because it's veneer to find a similar texture element is practically impossible. There a lot of stupid design decisions e.g. to change(cleaning pump) you need to remove gimbal then the tank... because of the hatch under the seats there. But we cut and put Zakrevsky in the hole.
Yes friend bought a donor (the cut) just after the demise of the automatic transmission. and safely put everything together with the 3.0 motor))). By the way, many parts of which do not break compatibility with the Mondeo still suitable, because identical))
As his companion along with your new box?
Well, Yes. Only the x appeared after the regulation. However the output of this indirect — in the original directory since 2002, I have never met a cat on the hood. Nor in any configuration or as an accessory

This grille is from restayl. Worth 25K, BU will find Fig and dorustilavat bumper looks ridiculous. And rascality only x will be released in the penny — grille, both bumpers, mirrors, boot lid. It's not worth it.
The cat on the hood — a personal fetish of each, but x never had and so it looks foreign. And in combination with restayl bars on dorectal the car resembles the farm a La 9ка with the only difference that the experimental noble.
And I thought the cat on the hood of it before the changes and after the rules of the automotive industry because of the risk of injury in an accident
Yes I tried — GRU well, each in their own way to bother. I like independent restyling, but I don't understand half-measures. Either 1 to 1 or why to take?
About the tree — Peter differ, it can only be due to age/storage conditions. By itself, the grain of the veneer are the same. Otherwise after the accident would not panel above the glove compartment to change, and all items are in collection and they would not be detailed separately ) But this is subject to comparison with the rest of the trim of the torpedo. Steering wheel, door inserts (if any) trim, ashtray, and automatic transmission would have been invisible in the difference
I wrote that whole beautiful foliage including the cat was cut, and the taste and color as they say...
So don't judge and be judged, )
About the tree, believe me it's all different shades and textures, personally tried to pick up the panel over the glove box from other stores, it's not in color though and one...so in practice everything is different )

Normal cat, congratulations. Brought this for a friend, stupid machine of course well, nothing))
On topic, the wheel tree is not very convenient in winter, just to rage, hands slip, and in the summer sweat...
Better peresa in a nice soft leather. Not enough of the grille with the mesh and the cat on the hood. My friend ordered a s/h sets from England for 100 and it takes all.
I've got almost also. I waited a long time for one car. Then a very long time to solve different kinds of questions associated with these ideas) but the main thing in our life-goal. Reach it and put a new one) so I wish you all to set and achieve new goals!
Capital of course came to the choice and most importantly to the expectation of the time of purchase.
I am sometimes ashamed of themselves, how to dig the idea that you want a specific car, look inside the roof rolls over "want, want, buy, buy"
And tax is higher ), and gave her a asshole more. But the life of the engine more. I don't regret my choice at their criteria polara car. I think I and 2.5 with stock)
well the 3.0 was not looking. The consumption and repair of same, and edit the machine nicer ))
I do from these cars very far. Just interested in the car history of these cars began in the 90s when this was written and most importantly spoken to say first hand. Interesting story about Rossy in Russia told me in the 90s, the driver of the Bank which was a "Podgorny" silver spirit and he personally drove to Finland for a service a couple of times a year.
These "experts" a lot — having read the forums begin to argue that "Jaguar is not the same", "x is just a Ford", etc. While under the ass — "412 tuning"
But the story of the RR is interesting. Even if one is far from these cars — still poses interesting.
KINDER-S
No, I didn't want. You obviously confuse. And about quality — everything is relative. By Your logic, then the only quality car-rolls)
Discuss oysters only with those who ate them.
It is a matter of taste and preferences. But the "original" carbon was what I wanted to say )
Aaaaaaaa)) understood . But personally for me only the tree when it comes to my car, and any.
Well we weren't talking about the carbon fiber as such, but "pseudochromosome the farm with the blue bulbs" ? Or have I misunderstood the idea
KINDER-S
So.
Can carbon and bright blue backlight. But then this car is not for me)
By the way, look at the link I gave earlier — the carbon in x was quite legal. But only at sport facilities. And I think that this combination was necessary as the second x, so to find one in Russia nerilka )
Glebjkeee
The truth is there s-type
Most importantly there is not even a Jaguar. And the girl-the driver behind the wheel of the Jaguar ))
EvakuatorMinsk
Good job my man yesterday took 2.5 all-wheel drive ideally 2004 for 4500$
Congratulations friend! There are on the drive?
Good luck to you and your notions about Masha tries and demand of goods on the market.
To the fact that this car is now illiquid terrible, so the cost is so cheap. And the sellers were probably happy that it was shipped.
FeeJay
And probably sellers it even hugged and kissed bought)))))
What did you write?
Car shit? Or expensive?
Great choice! Lovely car and with the right motor (complete motor). 3 years this went and would never have sold if not for the circumstances. For two years without it, and still regret that sold!
Komenty not read.ILO dozen sedan color aubergine?jagular I was sold and crossed himself.
I can only assume that they decided to keep eldowy style )
Other reasons why, for example, left the same radio — can not find.
Not going to argue with you. Frankly, that radio the photos I just took :))) I first was thinking about one thing: I want only the monitor.
And now...I don't even know whether it is important for me ) to change something in the interior does not want.
I'm not even sure what AUX is important to me. But the amplifier with the possibility of connection via Bluetooth and via AUX is considered.
The Jaguar I really like the finish — wood lot of skin... but any of those devices like the dashboard, radio and all the rest — just awful)
You know, at first glance — Yes. But then something else begin to perceive it. And grow to love it.
color tidy of course, and indeed the whole tidy in General... just dashing 90s)))
Here is absolutely analogous. Somehow it does not irritate me, and do not want to change. Like for some reason )
I, too tidy, control radio and climate before buying was a little confusing (I like You monitor), but then very quickly got used to look nice and does not strain the eyes. The emerald color of the backlight is a classic, and Jaguar is a classic car for lovers of tranquility and style!
But the Chevrolet Cruze is definitely the pelvis for rabid!
Vitamin-P
He is EN-route consumption))))) in the city, even the 2.1 will not be so many to spend)
Consumption 2.1 the stick: 7-8 highway, 13-15 city (all this if not much anneal)
Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you, but 2.1. or consumes the same or less per liter than a 2.5. :) Don't let me lie to the owners 2.1.
And in some cases, unfortunately when the driver likes a dynamic ride, 2.1. eats even more, for obvious reasons.
Azpl
2.5 — four-wheel drive.
Consumption of about 12-15 liters.
Never in my life I will not believe.
16+ did not go
He is EN-route consumption))))) in the city, even the 2.1 will not be so many to spend)
hahahh)))))I'm not going to argue)
There are facts here is a picture of the flow on the highway.
It is strange that the screen is 15 on a new car, but you have the new car, apparently every year the consumption of gasoline falls
Well, if you push the gas to the floor — of course no car will be so much to eat.
It all depends on driving style.
2.5 — four-wheel drive.
Consumption of about 12-15 liters.
Never in my life I will not believe.
16+ did not go
My consumption was 12-13 liters in moderately dynamic riding style.
A maximum of three years reached 18 liters and it is at the working climate, standing in a traffic jam!
This goal was not pursued.
But if you appreciate the car all the same, I think I will not be disappointed)
I have a happy face to this day. Every time...when you sit in it and when you leave the Park and go home. And now, when I write and remember it ) In General, this is love )
Thank you )
Not for a moment regretted that it had bought Jaguar, the X type, and it was this car :)
well written. I recognized myself and all these thoughts / experiences when buying)
Not)
12-15 liters...one could, of course, to fill less. But you need to understand what kind of savings per month is about.
I can't say anything about staying in the ecstasy of the owners of Citroens)
But according to owner reviews, and most importantly — artists who repaired diesel Jagow, they were thrashing around)
First, from the cost of the repair (only one injector is — be healthy). Second — from finding parts for this repair.
Although I really wanted to get diesel.
The gear lever is very liked. Picking the top usually. Well, I thought I will have to strain the gasoline consumption, like consumption of 7-8 liters)
Why it was decided not to take diesel categorically? If I'm not mistaken, they are on the PSA Yaga'shnye and owners of Citroens from these engines beating in ecstasy.
Thank God, now the IKS is not faced with such problems.
Eska, of course, higher and more expensive class. Adequately understand that the prices must be different in a big way. I think she would've been fine), the Prices don't 2-3 times the value of X?
usluge hodowca think pocase have, not in terms of frequency of breakdowns, and as well as that of the original worn replace with "afford". The rest-a tough old TACAN)
Thank you.
Maybe ESCA would have liked it even more.But the first step was considered IKS.
Service staff is on the amounts of repair and cost of parts, or complexity?
Very cute.But I think that Eska gave you would be more fun, although the attendants there are all different)
Understand )
And absolutely agree. I really like many new cars.
But the witch I chose only because of the interior in the first place, it is because of this approach to execution.
We all have our own values.
I was recently in the new XE sat, so everything is very cool, but is not the same! Personally, I've always had a weakness for retrodizayn, but for obvious reasons, retrouve did not want to take everyday. And we have the perfect combination of good quality and interesting appearance)
XJ is a completely different status and lifestyle.
All my life I dreamed of, well, basically still dreaming of a Ford Mustang, but sometimes I have a sneaking idea that I would be happy to have in their fleet only brand Jaguar)
Yesterday was stuck in traffic...long standing)
The head appeared the thought: I love my car. And I want a new YAG? You feel a burning desire, a need? Always has been, always wanted higher — higher — higher! And now for some reason it is not.
But on the 358 — agree, look at him)
"With tears I began to watch new tricks, the Cruzes, ..." here I am already with the approaching depression was to watch them, thank God just changed his mind, and now I understand the whole philosophy of owning a Jaguar.
Here I think: And what would you have changed it? only if XJ 358, but that's another story =)
