It's not american so it's a shit car.

>>15940171
I agree the used ones are pretty attainable for the common man but repair costs are gonna rape you.
>>
>>15940207
Im already spending 500-1000 every time I go to the shop for my 2003 Malibu, which breaks down every other month

Can't be that bad right?
>>
>>15940217
Why don't you just change your car when you can?
>>

Cannot afford

Budget is 24k ans I want a sedan

Parts are expensive and the electronics in them, while reliable so far, may start fucking up soon which will always be a worry with modern cars.

Go for it, if you can find one with some proper high miles. Leave yourself some spare money and get a car that's been maintained properly and driven on highways? Always the better option.
>>
>>15940183
Are those good?
>>
>>15940423
Yes. Idk about how comfortable it would be as a DD

Only a British or a retard would buy the XJ when the Lexus LS exists.
>>
>>15940249
Oh okay. If you can afford the costs, go for it.
>>
>>15940561
The interior inside the new Lexus LS is boring af.
>>
>>15940278
Buy a Lexus or an Audi

They're genuinely great, so I'd say go for it. HOWEVER, your experience will depend largely on the service/parts availability in your local area. And expect parts to run a good 25-30% more expensive than their Japanese rivals, unless you're UK-based and/or have decent relationships with your dealer.

Personally, I think an awful lot of the post-2010 Jag range are great used deals.

>>15940934
I'm in the tristate are, CNJ exactly, plenty of Jaguar dealers in a 50 mile radius, bought a car from ray catena before

Why an XJ?
Why not an XF?
Why not a used M56?
>>
>>15941729

reminds me of a ford focus or fusion
>>
>>15941729

Agreed, looks like neon hell.

Looks better in either Black or Midnight Blue, it's a great car with a fucking awesome engine
>>
>>15940171
depends on how old youre lookin at. if youre talking like barely used then go for it. get a warranty, but go for it.

older than that may get hairy, it really depends. jags historically have rust problems and electric niggles. honestly tho if you keep 1000-1500$ aside for restoration after you buy it you should be good.

what year exactly are you looking at? i know a lot about jags before they redesigned the way they all looked. still know a fair bit about the new ones.

>>15942120
not really true m8. electric stuff is about on par with bmw. ive actually put more into my 06 325i in repairs than my x-type
>>
>>15942159
nice. i havent heard much of anything about them being problem cars from my m8's. if i were you id get the 5 liter, its big car. the supercharged v6 is like 340 hp tho so even the base car is not slow by any means. 5 liter also sounds like pure sex.
>>
>>15942155
still get the warranty tho because if something serious breaks youre in for a world of hurt. i had to replace the heads on my 4.2 liter because the gas stations around here carry shitty gas and it ate through the aluminum heads. had to replace them with cast iron aftermarket. 3,000$ job
>>
>>15942193
Premium gas is pretty cheap near me

Where you at that gas is so bad?
>>
>>15940425
They're top comfy as long as you aren't over 6'2"
>>
>>15940217

Do NOT buy a depreciated European luxury car.

Buy a Camry or newer malibu or something. What's your budget? Financing or buying cash?
>>
>>15942108
Xj should be awesome and indeed looks maximum comfy. Dat everything
Like the other guy said M56 is also godtier engine and comfort. Beats comparable lexus and benz in terms of sportiness, and still jap reliability
