#2395 of 2563 Re: JaguarUSA policy on defective new engines [toohuman] by desertguy Jun 25, 2006 (8:04 am)
Replying to: toohuman (Jun 24, 2006 8:44 pm) If you plan on keeping the car a long time I would inquire about the extended warranty. It should be through Jaguar IMO. The third party warranties have too many pitfalls and some of the companies go out of business or file bankruptcy. The price is purely negotiable so don't just accept the first price they give you.   The first thing I bought for my XType was a set of four splash guards. Installed them myself. Definitely keeps the car cleaner. Replies to this message: toohuman (Jun 25, 2006 2:40 pm) desertguy (Jun 25, 2006 4:16 pm)

Replying to: desertguy (Jun 25, 2006 8:04 am) I plan on keeping this car for atleast 5-7 years. I will then probably just get a new Jaguar/Merc/BMW and keep this one as an extra.   You mentioned negotiating price. I was unaware that you could negotiate an insurance premium. Are there sites like this one that tell you the going rates...or what you SHOULD pay for these types of policies? I am all about negotiating if it is possible...I simply didn't know it was an option for warranties.   Please advise.   Thanks Replies to this message: desertguy (Jun 25, 2006 4:16 pm)

Replying to: toohuman (Jun 25, 2006 2:40 pm) The mfgr charges X amount of dollars to the dealer for an extended warranty. The dealer is then free to tack on his markup. You are free to call different dealers and you will find they don't all charge the same. Even a quote can be haggled down. I suggest you go to Edmunds Extended Warranty subject and review some of the comments. One thing for sure, is that some of these third party companies are out of business.
#2398 of 2563 X-Type Financing by tom213 Jun 28, 2006 (3:08 pm)
I was just up on the Jaguar site and they're offering 1.9% financing on all, in stock, 2006 X-Types! They must have a few in the inventory they need to push before new models start arriving. Also, while I was at the local dealership last Friday, they are saying (like it has been posted on this site before) that 2008 will be the last year for the X-Type.

Replying to: tom213 (Jun 28, 2006 3:08 pm) Well I finally took possession of my car. Thus far I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you to everyone who has commented and helped ease my worries and concerns when I was trying to decide upon a BMW or the Jag. I am very glad that I went with my heart and ordered the X-Type. Unless something horrible happens or the car falls apart I am sold on the feel and styling of the Jaguar brand.   Cheers,   Stephen D.
#2400 of 2563 Drivetrain Whining Noise - Is the center driveshaft bearing to blame? by tj98 Jul 21, 2006 (8:12 pm)
I have an 02 X-type Jag 2.5 Sport (manual) with 55k miles and started hearing a whining noise from the rear of the car. I replaced the tires recently (my third set - OEM Contis were replaced by Kumho Ecsta ASXs at 20k and Avon Techs at 53k)). The car was very quiet during my first trip after I got the new set of tires (400 miles). This noise appeared at ~54k and I do not think that it is tire noise, although I may be wrong.   I have the extended Jaguar warranty so I will take it to the dealer - I hope it is covered.   This noise reminds me the noise I had in my old Volvo whuch was fixed by replacing the driveshaft bearing. It was not very difficult as I recall - I did it myself.   Any ideas or suggestions are most welcome!   Thanks   TJM Replies to this message: desertguy (Jul 22, 2006 4:50 am)

Replying to: tj98 (Jul 21, 2006 8:12 pm) I suggest you go to the search box at the top of the page and put in "whining noise" or any other adjectives you can think of. I tried it and got multiple messages. This was a well know problem on the early XTypes and usually required the replacement of the prop shaft which is what Jaguar calls the differential. Normally it manifests itself in the first 10K miles though.
#2402 of 2563 New X-type owner (acutally pre-owned) by michaelnc Aug 12, 2006 (1:47 pm)
Thanks to all who have posted. Picked up an '05 sedan yesterday. (Premium pkg and heated seats) I have spent all day cleaning/polishing. It is gray w/charcol. I'm not sure of the color name, since it is lighter than Quartz, but seems darker than the platinum '06 that I looked at. Maybe the dark interior makes it seem darker? Any thoughts? I have a set of mudflaps on order for both the front and rear. I know that they ruin the look, somewhat, but they sure are functional. Anybody have good/bad experiences with Jagbits.com?
#2403 of 2563 Remaining '06's by michaelnc Aug 12, 2006 (2:38 pm)
FYI, according to a dealer that I visited, you can only get either the $5K dealer cash OR the 1.9% financing. NOT Both!   Even though, I did not buy the '06, it was an extremely nice experience. Called ahead and checked inventory and showed up on Saturday afternoon, dressed in shorts and t-shirt and unshaven. (Yes, I was being a bum. )   Salesman met me at the cars with a tag and gave the keys to me and told me to have fun. "Don't come back until you really drive the car" No copy of driver's license, no personal information, just my name over the phone and my hometown (about 90 miles away). Totally blew me away! Keys to a $38K MSRP vehicle and full tank of gas without any of the expected hassles.
