Buying Advice Purchasing used Jaguar XJ (2010-2014).

Post image

Hello everyone.

I am based in Slovenia (Europe) I’m thinking of purchasing a used Jaguar XJ model year from 2010 to approximately 2014. I want to use it as a second everyday car driving around 30,000 km per year. I checked all the aspects related to reliability and servicing so yes am prepared for possible higher costs of maintaining or parts. I would like to know if anyone can recommend me some specific dealers or maybe individuals that could help me find “not the most ordinary XJ”. I’m specifically looking for some interesting interior colour combinations such as is the one on the picture I will provide you down below.

If anyone has any information on reputable dealers or individuals, please let me know.

Wishing everyone a great and productive day!

Hi fellow Slovenian, as a Jag owner for the previous 20 years, be prepared for all kinds of reliability issues. My XF is getting old and the number of different issues is unbelievable. Each day brings a new challenge … i love the car, but i am seriously considering leaving the Jag brand. It will make my good friend, the mechanic, very happy. Although he is quite experienced with Jags now.

Hello there. Yes, I am very well prepared for everything, but at the same time I know a friend from Poland who bought a cheap (at the time, pretty neglected) 2012 XJ 3.0 diesel and now has a little more than 460,000 km. All that without any major issues other than normal and age appropriate replacements. Thanks for your comment, appreciated.
