Agreed. Why would anyone want to put regular in it? It is just good to know that if you have to use it for some reason, based on lack of available premium, fueling up along the side of the road, etc., you can do it without harming your Jag.

Can anyone tell me how much should I spend on an 06 CPO XJR? A dealer's listing it for "special price" $31060. Great deal or theres room for negotiation?
Any significant problems w/ this model year I should be aware of?
Thanks

Room for negotiation, but at least its a realistic start. Newer XJs have very good reliability.

Thanks gregg, can you tell me how much lower should I bargain for? I'm a bit confused as even Edmunds site quote it for almost 40k...

National market for 05 XJ8L's less than 25,000 miles by euphonium

Where in the country is the economy that enables the best deal on used 05 XJ8 L's with less than 25k miles?
 
There are two listed with same color, equipment, and miles. One in TX, the other in Southern CA. There is a $4,000 difference in the advertised price. The SC is $26,900 and the TX is $22,900. This is just one example of area differences.
 
So, who is offering the best prices, where? Thank you for your input.

Texas cars direct, or now www.jagsforless.com WILL NOT show you these reports, they claim they don't even exist!! I'VE SEEN THEM!!!! They take the dogs from the auction, and slick them up in their body shop and dump them- what you see is what you get- fresh paint and bondo.
 
Having been through every inch of Texas Cars Directs entire operation in excruciating detail, (I mean EVERY inch) I can tell you emphatically that you are wrong and honestly, you either don't know what you're talking about or your simply trying to spread untruths.
 
1) they don't have a body shop of any kind.
2) I've seen the cars they buy immediately after coming back from auction, they are NOT "dogs."
 
And no, I've never bought a car from them, so I'm not posting this to alleviate some cognitive dissonance. You're simply not telling the truth. Sorry.

Front Shock Absorber Bushing Falling Apart by jaglover2
Nov 27, 2008 (5:59 am)
Reply
On my 2001 XJ8 the upper bushings on both my front shock absorbers are falling apart and the bellows have fallen down. Are these bushings easy to change with out having to go to the dealer? How come I do not see bushings for front absorbers listed on any Jaguar parts sites? The only bushings listed are for rear shocks. Are there any other bushings located on the underside? I do not notice a difference in ride quality but at 10 to 25 mph one can hear the a dull rattling.

Hi Allojohn,
 
I have the same problem with my Jaguar XJ 2001 trac not availalbe comes up, initially it was once in a blue moon but now it starts to come more often.
It starts to happen now as well when i am driving, the engine goes in failsafe mode.
When I restart the car a few times it solves the problem.
 
Can you tell me what the problem is?
Thanks
Anno

Hi Jefk,
 
I have the same problem with my Jaguar XJ 2001. Initially the 'trac not available' error came once in a blue moon when i started the car but no it's getting more frequent, even when i drive slow in traffic jams.
Assuming that your problem is fixed, what eventually solved it?
Thanks
Anno

Note: I have had this same problem and changed the Spark Plugs and for the last year
have had no more problem. This problem just about drove me mad as it had new plugs
and yet this being the problem. I would be driving and this light would come on and I would only hope in making it home and fear of going any distance.
