#72 of 84 Re: Canadian Sportwagon owners? [dandrews1] by oldcem Sep 21, 2006 (6:57 pm)
Replying to: dandrews1 (Sep 20, 2006 7:54 pm) I've owned 2 X -types. My first was an 03 2.5 automatic. I swapped it in May for an 06 3.0 Automatic. The wagon should handle about the same as the sedan. It's slightly slower to 60 - the sedan takes 7.1 seconds, the wagon about 7.8 according to Jag's website. The 3 liter engines are excellent - rated a 229HP, they've got a nice fat torque curve all the way to redline. My 3.0 gets 20 MPG in the city and 24 on the interstate running 75 - running 93 octane gas. Build quality was good on my 03, and, even better on the 06. The cars are very rigid and heavy for their size. The AWD system works great in rain and snow - best foul weather car I've ever driven. You should be able to score all the marketing support money if you negotiate hard. Contact multiple dealers and get prices if necessary to get your local guy to sharpen his pencil. The X-Types do depreciate pretty badly, so get the best deal you can to offset this.   Regards: Oldengineer Replies to this message: dandrews1 (Sep 29, 2006 9:22 am)
#73 of 84 Hope for the Jag Estate by wshfl Sep 25, 2006 (6:04 am)
Just to make everyone feel better about the Sportwagon, back in August, I was driving into Ottawa from the cottage when, to my surprise, I met a Jag Sportwagon travelling North into Quebec -- with a canoe on its roof! No, the roof had not caved in, nor had the body reposed on its axles.So, maybe there's hope for a little-marketed vehicle. Too bad Jag doesn't provide a 5 year, 100,000 mile full warranty on present models. I think that sales would jump significantly. This would lay to rest the quality issues, (or, bankrupt the Company).

Replying to: wshfl (Sep 25, 2006 6:04 am) As part of the deal I made on my 06 sedan, I got a 7 year-100K factory warranty. There are no significant quality issues after the 2002 model year that I'm aware of.   Regards: Oldengineer

Replying to: oldcem (Sep 21, 2006 6:57 pm) It's really hard to negotiate anything up here - the incentives that our cousins in the US seem to get so often, never seem to make it up here.   It's partially the market to blame. Canada taxes imports on vehicles higher than in the US, so the markets for upscale vehicles are much leaner.   I know a guy who bought a 2006 Bentley Silver Spur up here, but was seriously balking at the 80k$ markup from buying the same thing in the US. He got offers to pick one up in Florida (he winters there), but was told by Bentley Canada that they wouldn't service it in Canada if he imported it.   He wound up buying it in Canada, but really wasn't happy about it.   Anyways, long story-short - it's doubtful if I can get any sort of rebates or marketing incentives, so I'll just see if I can't persude them to abandon their "no haggle" policy on their vehicle prices.   /DA
#76 of 84 Extended Warranty... by docwright Oct 21, 2006 (11:53 am)
Good Afternoon All, I am looking for some feedback with regards to purchasing Jaguar's extended warranty. My 03 X-Type sport has 23,000 miles and my warranty is due to expire in April 07 . Can anyone give me information relative to your purchase price and the type of warranty you purchased. Thanks, Doc

Great Scot! Has no one bought a Sportwagon, or had something good or bad to say about them since Oct. 21, 2006? Sad ending to a rather nice vehicle. Replies to this message: dandrews1 (Feb 12, 2008 10:32 am) aix (May 15, 2008 9:14 am)

Replying to: wshfl (Jun 27, 2007 12:50 pm) Apparently not.   I decided to take a wait and see attitude with the Canadian dollar becoming stronger, but the prices on used Sportwagons doesn't seem to be in the realm of reality.   The dealers are trying to get the residual values from the lease contracts' buy-out price... but with the Canadian dollar so strong, it's de-valued the price of these used cars badly. Nobody is buying out their leases up here, cause you can get into a new car for just a few points above what they are asking for your old car!   My dealership is asking CAD$29,900 for a used 2005 X-type Sportwagon with 20k miles, when it should probably be in the range of $21,890 (according to Edmunds used car current value tool) A new one is 36k! Who would pay 29,900 for a 2005??   If my dealer can drop his price to something near the reality price, I'll be picking it up, otherwise - no way. I'll be out looking for an Audi A4 Avant.   /DA Replies to this message: aix (May 15, 2008 9:14 am)

Replying to: dandrews1 (Feb 12, 2008 10:32 am) I picked up a used one in Sept '06. It was an '05 that had only 7,100 mi. I absolutely love the car. We had an '03 sedan prior. The wagon in addition to offering more cargo space, has much cleaner lines in my opinion. The AWD system is great in the snow. I would strongly advise purchasing one that has the Jaguar Selection Edition warranty. It has been great to have, as I have had to use it for the tranny and the external temp sensory. Both were covered under the warranty. Nothing out of pocket. Absolutely great. 6 years/100,000 miles on the select edition. I only wish the car had a bit mor room in the second row.   I've only seen 3 of these on the road during the 1 1/2 years I've owned the car. Quite rare. And rarer now that the X is extinct in the US.....
#80 of 84 Jag X Type Sportwagon by wshfl Jul 07, 2008 (8:55 am)
9 months ago, I saw a canoe-carrying Sportwagon driving North into Quebec Province. Last night, I saw a Jag Sportwagon driving south --- no canoe. Significance? Jag has sold a least 1, if not 2 Sportwagons in Canada.

Replying to: elsaidst (Apr 10, 2006 6:25 am) I know this is very old, but what a great post. There's one just about this one's age on eBay for very cheap, I, too have heard the legendary mechanical problems of British cars in general, and can relate to the reticence toward something you just want to love "if only". If you're still around two years later do you still enjoy the car?
