  • buyer beware! - 2000 Jaguar XJ-Series
    By -

    My vehicle was bought from a 3rd party while under factory warranty. The local dealer sold me an extended warranty before the new car warranty expired. The "nickasil engine has been discontinued! Mine is a disaster! The car with 48k miles on it, has been blowing out white smoke for periodically since the miles were in the 20s. The engine is worn out and needs to be replaced. Extended warranties wont cover "wear". Jaguar wont help! All services were done at the dealer! Jag buyers and owners BEWARE!!! This is very costly and discouraging especially with such low mileage!

  • Timing Chain Blown - 2000 Jaguar XJ-Series

    Timing chain gone at 105,000 miles. Cost to replace engine quoted at $25,000. New car instead.

  • Bad transmission - 2000 Jaguar XJ-Series
    By -

    Purchased from original owner, low mileage. Beautiful car, best ride ever IF you can keep it out of the shop. Never could get the heater to work properly, froze every winter. Difficult time finding a "good" jaguar mechanic that could troubleshoot. It seemed to always be something. Every time it went to the shop it was $600-$1000. The final straw was when the transmission went out at 79K. Resale value was so low I chose to not fix the car. What a shame. Ill never buy another one.
