As title - looking at a low mileage 2004 Jaguar XJ Series 3.0 auto XJ6 SE with full service records - anyone know of any probs with these?

[Vamps]

What to replace the Omega with is the never ending question, I did not want a BMW felt that a Merc, and I would add Jag, is to ostentatious, from a work point of view so I went way of track and bought a Jeep....

Nice looking cars,3.0 is pretty lively too

I chose the Phaeton V6 diesel - 4 wheel drive, weighs best part of 2.5 tonnes, road tax £435 is downside, insurance £300 though, motorway mpg 37. Do not use around town - (or any diesel for that matter - DPF as per watchdog)

I believe these to be good cars.....far better than the Jaguar Mondeo X-Type which is a bag of shite....

I found the XJ cabin to be small though - seems much less room in it than the Omega barge - us bigger chaps are a bit squeezed in the drivers seat as well

X-Type is also cramped.

i agree with opti since ford takeover they are shit

Ford have long since sold Jag to Indian conglomerate, Tata (also own Tetley Tea, hence my interest )

The X type (mondeo) and S type from that era are pretty unreliable, and poorly designed. But the S type does have that V8

You might like to cross Suzuki Vitaras off your list.

.. and a nice V8 it is.

First ride behind that engine was with a colleague in Munich who had an XJ8 with one of those in. I thought it was a V12 at first.

A mate of mine had the 3.0 S type. Whilst it was probably a little quicker than the Omega it felt a lot more cramped inside and a bit more wallowy on the bends. I recall his ownership of it (from new - silly sod) wasn't without the odd niggle either. It's also a marmite car. Personally, I reckon if you want a car that looks old-fashioned you should buy the proper 60's S type.

What are the Volvo s60's like? They look like a nice big sturdy car but I know nothing about them 

I'd get a 5-series Bee Em if I had the money
