I'm 19, I bought a salvaged 2008 xj8L last year on my birthday. It wouldn't go over 40mph and would overheat if you turned the AC on. I've completely rebuilt the car from the ground up and I've got a ford cobra supercharger sitting in the boot. Going on a year now, and still going strong, I aim to finish this car and add the modern quality-of-life features majority of cars have on the road today. (Backup cam, bluetooth, android Auto etc) it's been a journey, an expensive one, but any dream is a dream nonetheless, aim for it!

I am the very proud owner of a 2009 Portfolio just like this one. It had 20K miles when I bought it and I thought I would cry when it rolled over 40K. It is such a joy to drive you just can't help yourself. I have replaced all the air suspension. Don't feel too bad considering the sticker was $118K. Thank goodness I didn't pay that. I'll never part with it.

I have an 09 xj with 140k miles. Had the CATS air suspension deleted. Rides like a dream. In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful cars ever made by jaguar. Even with the few problems they do have I believe they're still worth going after if you find one.

I've had an 08 for 3 years, swapped the air suspension for coil overs, and after that the car has been bulletproof. I'm tracking at 148,000 miles with no problems. Everything works. The $1000 brake job kinda sucked though, but that's any eurocar.

Ruined? Leapers were offered on the XJ for decades, and the body style hasn't changed much over the years. I think it's still appropriate. This car most likely had it installed by the dealer since leapers were discontinued as a factory option by the time this car was in production. Now a leaper on a newer, less boxy Jag like the X351 or XF, yuck...
