I bought a 2003 in July, just like this one. I am Loving it! It was a great deal too! 85,000 miles. New tires make it the best.

What a great video! No irritating music, just the pure sound of the Jaguar whilst sat in the driving position enjoying the ride. The confidence in the car is clear, 100MPH with one relaxed hand on the wheel!

I just purchased a 2004 XJ8. One owner, 38,000mi. I was driving E320 Benz. I don't know if I can ever go back to driving another car. So smooth and absolutely beautiful inside and out. It was an excellent purchase. I wish could drive it on the Autobahn...

I was driving on M25 in UK last day.. I was driving on the 3rd line when I checked my rear view mirror and I saw a car with 4 headlights and the bumps on the hood.. recognized a X308 instantly and moved to the first line to let him through :D what a beauty

Love it. Mine is 1998 XJ. 160 miles today, made that sound like 1:07, 1:44, 5:12 a few times today sadly in the UK I am illegal at over half of top speed, so can't really enjoy it without fear of fine or ban. I have always thought I should have lived in Germany, but I have read recently that speed limits are going to be drastically reduced on the Autobahns. No fun allowed these days.

I don't know how Astons and Jaguars in the 90's-10's did it but when you see it handle at speed and you HEAR it you know that's either a Jag or an Aston. Like it's hungry for road.

Sloppy driving. Both hands needed on the wheel. Tyre blow out and it's game over.

I have two Vanden Plas sedans, 2001 and 2002. Love them. Not perfect, but I have a superb mechanic that keeps them all of a piece...Imagine 2 Jags and EVERYTHING works on them! They're not the fastest, not the quietest, not the tightest (though they did the AC's right...bone cold and never needed a charge), but I am always delighted to drive them.

En un mots bonheur.. Merci beaucoup :)

rides like a dream ...

interior goes crazy!

Had two 2001 Vanden Plaus , both were limited at 155 mph and both pulled harder from 130 to 155 than from 80 to 130 . . . . Solid as rock just wind noise seemed excessive over 130 . Both ran into a wall at 155 and both were showing no signs of running out of power when the limiter came in . Both wrecked while I was at traffic lights and both times the car saved my life . One head on and the last from the rear both at substantial speed . Both totaled during the accidents . I now have a 2006 XJR with ' all ' upgrades and no limitations. Previously owned by a Jaguar tech . . . . . barely street able around town very poor manners . . . . . Great interstate car though. Both previous Jags ( Lyons ) were far superior in ride and comfort though and no slouch in performance either.

Also if you want to save yourself the trouble of buying a new transmission be certain to get a XJR , as they have the beefier 722 mercedes unit versus the glass canon zf 5hp.

Unless you do some google searches and find the blog you need, there are mods and work arounds involving the CD player to provide either an AUX port for your phone or bluetooth. Other than mods, you are out of luck due to the fiber optic wiring and the NAV built into the info-tainemnt system. Sorry for spelling mistakes.
