Prospective x-type owner

[dave0102]

Hello,

I'm thinking about buying a 2009 x-type 2.0 SE. I've been doing lots of reading and most reviews seem quite positive. I like the number of features that you get with these cars. I've also been looking at BMW 3 series, but they are really lacking when it comes to added extra's, like heated seats, leather interior, Bluetooth etc.

I've read that the x-type has been discontinued, does this mean that it will be difficult to get parts for them in a couple of years? The one's I've been looking at have between 20000 and 30000 miles on the clock, is there anything to look out for given this mileage and car age?

Thanks,

Dave

There are that many x types about that parts will be available for years. Besides there are loads of Jaguar breakers out there where you can get cheaper used parts anyway. Jaguar itself runs a classic parts service where you can still get parts for some of the cars now considered classic from years ago. I personally don't think it will be a problem.

 

As long as its got service history with it it should be ok. Bought my 02 x type 2.0 petrol 3 years ago now and had no trouble at all with it. Its now showing 65000 miles.
