What,s the VED on these things? ???

Dirt cheap. No more than a humble Vauxhall Signum. :)
That much... :D


Al.....£45.07 x 12 = £540.84 for a fu*cking Signum. :'( :'( :
£1000+ for the RFL on two cars. Peanuts to a man of your means, of course, but way too expensive for paupers such as me.

Don't forget Lady Opti's Corsa!  ;) 

That's got to be over £1200 a year that our Lord Opti gives to that nice Mr Hammond each year for the pleasure of running such fine motor cars!   :)

True, but (to me at least) it should feel like the XF is worth the £500+. The signum.....  :o

Is it really that popular back in the UK? Here there are not many about and most find it strange to say the least.

What about this?

Ooops Sorry, I was looking for an XJR V6 petrol. :-[

I'd love an XJ Diesel, probably my dream commuter. Smooth, fast, comfy and economical. Perhaps my next car  :)

According to a couple of guys at work who run them, they are sadly not economical and only achieve mid 30's mpg in the real world.

I'd be happy at mid 30's given it's a 3.0 V6 and the size of the car. The 3.2 Omega can barely crack 22mpg on the run to work.

Economical - 'using no more of something than is necessary'

Hence not a car you buy for economy  :y

So if you your requirements are 'economical' then its not on the list, if your requirements are bags of torque then yes it is. The key message is that the quoted figures are far from reality sadly.  :y

True, the figures on paper are no way near what you get. I think FatherT's diesel on paper is 50mpg, but I think he gets around low 40's.

It's a compromise though? My current drive the VW CC is very good on fuel, winter use has taken a hit, but I'll average around 50mpg over the course of a tank, close to 60mpg in the summer. However it is manual and FWD...

I could get a Polo diesel and easily crack 60mpg, but if I want to waft around in a Luxo modern barge, then it's the XJ.

If I did get a petrol XJ of say 2013 vintage:

1) The VED on the V8 would be astronomical, £45 a month.
2) The insurance would be higher, compared to the diesel, given my age
3) Fuel use would be very high.

The  XJ diesel is economical choice for that type of car, not necessarily an economical as a car could be.  :)

For me the next house move would mean a longer commute, to get a bigger house/garden, means longer drives into work. At that point I'd only consider an Automatic due to the distance.
