Replying to: euphonium (Jul 05, 2007 7:33 am) Thank you all for honest reporting. I've wanted a Jag for ages and was seriously considering finally getting an XJ8 when my Infiniti lease is up ... but I have zero tolerance for aggravation and will likely stay with Infiniti or possibly move to Lexus armed with this information. MB and BMW have been irritatingly unreliable as well so they're out of my equation. I had NO issues with any of the four Caddies I've previously had. Oh, well. Bart
#6 of 18 JAGUAR XJ8 by denham Aug 17, 2007 (8:58 am)
I purchased a 1998 xj8 in like new condition, and after reading some of the problems such as the secondary timing tensioners I started calling the Jag.dealers ( I called two) one wanted $4500 if all needed replacement and $2500 if only the secondary tensioners needed replacement. The second dealer wanted $1500 for replacement of the two secondary tensioners only. I also ask about replacing a front wheel bearing and the labor not bearing was over $400. I have a small shop and I relaced the wheel bearing total cost $41.60 in about two hours. The tensioners were next and took less than four hours for replacement as all you need do is remove the valve cover and lift up the cam shaft with timing chain and relace the tensioner. (Yes one tensioner was cracked) The cost of upkeep and repairs is what hurts most for Jaguar cars, if I did not have my on shop and able to make most of my own repairs I would never own a Jaguar of any type.

#11 of 18 Lease rates for Jaguar XF? by veebee66 Jan 17, 2009 (8:19 pm)
Dear Car_man: Could you please help me with the lease details on a Jaguar XF for a 36 month 12,000 mi lease? Also the dealership has a new 2008 XJ8 - the salesman says that they cannot lease a 2008 vehicle. Is that true or is he blowing smoke?   Thanks Replies to this message: Car_man (Jan 19, 2009 3:34 am) veebee66 (Jan 19, 2009 6:15 am) Car_man (Feb 03, 2009 2:54 am)

Replying to: veebee66 (Jan 17, 2009 8:19 pm) Hi veebee66. What you were told is correct. Jaguar is not leasing 2008 models any longer. I posted the XF information that you are looking for over in the new "Jaguar XF Lease Questions" discussion. Please check there for my response and let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum Replies to this message: veebee66 (Jan 19, 2009 6:15 am) Car_man (Feb 03, 2009 2:54 am)

Replying to: Car_man (Jan 19, 2009 3:34 am) Thanks car_man. I must have saved 1000s over the years - all thanks to the info you provide.   Could you also let me know the MF, Residual on a Base XJ8/XJ8L for 36 months and 10,000 miles/year?   Thanks again.

Replying to: veebee66 (Jan 19, 2009 6:15 am) You're very welcome, veebee66. Infortunately, it does not appear as though Jaguar is currently providing any lease support on the XJ8. Its current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Jaguar XJ8 with 10,000 miles per year are an extremely unattractive .00412 and 40%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '09 XJ8L are .00412 and 41%.   It's possible that some independent bank out there has a better lease program than this on the XJ8. If not, don't lease it because this program is terrible. You would be much better off financing it through Chase at 2.9% for 5 years.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
