  Great car, but can I rely on it? - 2000 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By gr8golfr - February 2 - 2:00 am

  Great car on the highway...smooth as silk and good overall handling. Takes a while for the tires to warm up and smooth out though. Its not as agile as the German cars, but I knew this when I bought it...just miss this sometimes. With only 36000 miles, I would expect more reliability and fewer quirky repairs.

  My Jag - 2000 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By LLH - February 24 - 10:00 am

  Overall I love my Jag. You can not beat the look and style. Performance is great. I am big on squeaks and raddles: (check these things out before you buy - Paying $70K for a car should mean perfection) The dash trim did raddle at first - foam fixed. The trim going up along the front windows is not well mounted and raddles (looks easy to fix). At a low speed I hear a very faint high pitch squeal from somewhere in the dash that comes and goes. I have no idea what this is but it can be annoying. Drive very slow (5mph) for .5 to 1 mile to make sure you do not have the same issue.

  Very comfortable, quiet car. Not a head turner but if you are beyond that in your life, this could be the car for you

  This car is a head turner. I love the Alpine audio system. Very fast car. lots of power The car sold new for $75,000. You can buy one in 2007 with about 70k miles out the door for 15k. Also this was the top of the line Vanden Plas edition

  Breakdown city - 2000 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By rivercreek - May 1 - 2:00 am

  Purchased a low mileage car off a three- year lease with Jag certified warranty. The past year has been frustrating with broken automatic seat setting device (3 times), broken wiper motor, broken electronic antenana motor, broken thermostat, and countless other nit-picking problems. The car left us stranded twice. Love the car, just wish it was reliable.

  Love My Jag. - 2000 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By Ricardo - February 22 - 7:03 am

  I purchased my XJ8 with 38,000 miles on it have driven it 2500 without any problems. I am now having an issue with the drivers side brake light. The passenger side works. I think it may be a ground problem as it works some time. The 4.0 engine is quiet and powerful,really like driving it. It is my 3rd Jag., and I love it.

  Love Hurts - 2000 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By galewood478 - February 13 - 3:00 pm

  I absolutely loved this car, was such a classic. However, I had to get rid of it after 2 transmission failures. It kept cracking drums within the transmission. There has yet to be a car designed that captured the stunning class and sophistication displayed by this Jag. Loved it, and as hard as it was to let her go, it proved impractical to keep fixing it over and over. Ford built it, so that should say something.

  My other Jag - 2000 Jaguar XJ-Series
  By Daniel - May 6 - 10:33 am

  This is my everyday car. Fun to drive and very comfortable around town. Its big yet so nimble and easy to park. Interior is quite nice although the cup holder is placed awkwardly in the way of the gear shift.
