- If you look at the used car market, you'll find used Jaguar cars are cheap! Does that mean you should buy a used Jaguar? Well, I'm going to explain why they're cheap, and it includes things like reliability, depreciation, and quality. We'll walk through why I'm going to pick up another one of these Jaguar vehicles on the used car market and why I think it's going to be a great idea for some.

Who is here after the recent jaguar commercial haha
I just bought a 2017 F pace thidbpast May with just under 80k miles. I love it and it definitely is a head turner. I change the oil and perform minor maintenance myself. Im now up to 90k miles, and she's still purring.
How is it running now? Any problems?
@@lorenzoconte4699 I would be very surprised if they haven't had an issue. Buy almost any 2017 in 2024 is kind of asking for trouble. I would be curious to know the number of miles/km on the vehicle.
Alright!!
Bought an Fpace for cheap. Pulled the supercharger, 24$ coupler upgrade and supercharger oil change. Swapped all coolant pipes for metal versions. Cost $180 total and 4 hours of my time (Jag wanted $3800). Purs like a kitten now with no leaks.
Shoulda made a video!
@@whookidjm91 lots of videos already and whole guides on how to do it already.
Mind sharing a few links or resources?
I screenshot this
Thank you I’m goopy switch mines
We brought a new F-Type 8 years ago and a new XE 7 years ago, still have them lovely cars. No real problems, will keep them for the foreseeable future.
What’s the mileage on the Jaguar now please?
@@israelhansen2415prob around 100k
Jag makes some beautiful vehicles.......reliability, parts availability, and dealership access are all reasons why i never touched one. Closest dealer is about 35 miles away......that can get bothersome if you have to go there frequent. Thanks for sharing Mark. I do enjoy hearing about yours!😊
Then how are you commenting? I have had 5. All reliable. The BMW and Merc in the drive way lying broke.
Crazy how all these years later and they still make very unreliable vehicles. They make nice cars that perform pretty well it’s really a shame.
They made beautiful cars. The design direction the last 15 years have looked like Hondas
Reliability is a JOKE
I'm blown away by the honesty.
You're entirely true about this guys rock solid subjectivity. I've watched 20 to 25 hours of slick You Tube reviews on the Jag F P , but nothing can compare to this unscripted, unedited, first cut original critique.
I almost cancelled my pending F Type purchase after the first 5 minutes of repair fear. But then, he articulated the key point; they've depreciated below competition costs, but now have a renewed level of reliability under Tata. And then he said that he owns one. His tech knowledge was solid. And the best thing about the review was that it had edge.
I'm from Alberta, now in Arizona and instead of seeing reviews set amongst lovely English country sides; this one was dead of winter, with dusty cars waiting for work caked in snow , grit and road salt. This was the review that makes me confident in my upcoming purchase.
Good job dude. Thanks for keeping it real.
(The reason why Jag owners report so many issues is primarily because - they hammer their vehicle ! Like my dad always said, ' if you take care of your equipment it will take care of you.)
Agreed on the depreciation. That's why I bought a pre-owned 2016 XF R-sport. Absolutely reliable, no problems whatsoever. even drove it from Manchester U.K to Venice, Italy with a side trip to Paris. Great all the way.
Right on
I love Jaguars. I had a old 2003 Jaguar S-Type . I bought it used & I was able to drive it for 7 or 8 years without any problems. Around the 7th year of me having it I had to get a new fuel pump but that was it. The car ran smooth & that was the only problem I had. I probably would still be riding it today if it didnt get stolen.
There were many great Jags in the past. The X type was a bit of a mess and a few older V12 ma we’re pricey to run but honestly not out of line with most luxury competitors
I had a s type to on my younger days and had zero issues with it to loved it.
Looking at buying a 2006 S-type R with 102k miles on it. They want $8.9k. What do you think?
Jaguar enthusiast here. I have been driving famous Jaguar XJ6 (X300) for over 15 years now. My 1st car in high school 1996 Vanden Plas lasted me for 15 years and clocked 380,000 miles. My daily driver now a 1995 Jaguar Xj6 is to 100,000.00 miles on the clock now- no engine, tranny , or differential issues at all. My weekend cruiser a 1995 Jaguar Vanden Plas just hit 170,000.00 miles.- no issues All 3 cars combined cost less than $10,000.00. Yearly maintenance cost: $250 to $500 max. I do the work myself and I am comfortable enough to say that these were the best cars to own and drive.
Are you excited for the new Jaguars after seeing that commercial?
Are you still an enthusiast?
Gotta hand it to you Mark, you put out a lot of credible information, video after video after video. People don't realize how difficult this is to maintain 👍
Thank you very much, it is a lot and I love to share with others. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season.
@@ECPP As fellow car guys ourselves we certainly appreciate your dedication 👏 Happy holidays! 🏁☃️🎄🦾
I just hope that his camera stays strong after being hit so many times
I agree.
It does take a certain appetite for risk to buy one of these used. Even when they're working fine, those supercharged engines drink a lot of fuel, and even basic services like oil changes are more expensive than average. That being said, I've had my XKR for a year and a half now, and it's been pretty fuss-free. It doesn't act like a pampered princess. It starts every time and gets me where I need to go without issue. In terms of reliability it's certainly been better than some other cars I've had, though I recognize I may just be lucky and my experience may not be everyone's. I still see buying a used Jag as a lottery - you may hit the jackpot and get one that doesn't give you any issues in which case they're tremendous value for money, or you may get one that becomes your worst nightmare. May the odds be ever in your favor.
I have a 2011 XK for about 3+ years now and the only issue I ever had was a clogged injector. Replaced it and have been mostly problem free ever since. I bought it with 51.5k and it now has 71k and running great.
Just rolled the dice on a 2018 ex, I love it so far, it has everything I need and more and it was in excellent condition.
We had a 2005 S-Type, the car (black with biscuit interior) looked and drove awesome. Ford, back then, did a decent job with the drive train and chassis. There were no issues we experienced. Have not heard anything good about the Tata products, but the XJL is gorgeous. Sad about the depreciation and reliability issues. Complete awakening here (comes with age): Toyota Tacoma and a RAV 4 in our garage.
An interior made from biscuits will not last.
I have a 06 s-type 2.7d executive plus with biscuit and indigo blue 200k km no problem after n52 chassis number s-types are bulletproof ı say as ı engineer
I've owned a Jag 2011 XJL for about 3 years now (without a warranty) and its been waaay more reliable than I expected.. Its my weekend car so that may be whats been saving me.. I've had such a good experience with this car that I'm considering upgrading to a newer XJ or keeping it and picking up a older F-type..
Go for it we only live once 👍🏽
Bought a 17 xe. I’ve had it for 4 years now. No problems, ever besides some hail damage.
2011 jaguar XJ super sports 65Kmiles -- outstanding.
I bought a jaguar xe petrol five and a half years ago, had the main module replaced under warranty and that is the only problem I've had ,but I have only done 20,000 miles,very reliable so far
I’ve had my 2018 XE since new, 55k miles and car is fantastic ❤
Ford actually shored up some of the historic Jaguar problems, specifically Lucas electronics. i owned a Lincoln LS years ago, and the car was essentially a Jaguar, in terms of suspension and power plant. i was very pleased with it (V8).
A joke decades ago: Why are some British beers warm? Lucas refrigerators.
I bought a 2002 XJR 100 for 16000$ in 2007. I ran the piss out of this car from 50,000 until 110,000 miles. I had to replace the thermostat and a shock! Got 10,000 for the car in 2015 ! Best car I ever owned!
I have a jaguar xe r sport, absolutely love it and to date no issues, look after your jaguar and it will look after you.
I get a oil change twice a year with premium oil.
Great vlog.
Cars in general. I always wonder when people say this car or that car isn't reliable. Like did you ever get the car serviced? Like ever? Did you ever keep up with routine maintenance?
Every 3000 miles!!!!
The 2013 XF that I bought in 2019 is my most beautiful and classy car. It's been fairly reliable: the EGR valve needed cleaning and had two rear parking sensors replaced. I love the looks - inside and out - and the way it drives. That blue F type is gorgeous and so is yours 👍.
Thanks very much, great buy going for the XF, they are wonderful cars and takes the already great XE and steps it up. These Jags are all so under appreciated and that’s how buying used makes so much sense for people like us who “get it”. Great rides. Hope you have a great holiday season.
Used Jags potentially just got a lot cheaper
😂
Thinking same thing. I can't buy one now.
I bought my XJL during the height of the used car apocalypse over 2 years ago for less than a same year Honda accord w/ leather interior. As one that does their own repair work, I find these cars are not horrible to work on and if you are willing to do a bit of looking, most parts can be obtained for decent prices. I've owned 4 Jags now, and the Ford era and newer have been pretty good to me. In reality my XJL was designed under Ford, and there is a lot of carry over from the Ford era in the current generation cars. The one exception is the 2011 XJ my eldest bought, it has some weird communication issues between the modules that didn't get noticed on our test drive that are a bit of a nuisance and the only fix is to take it in and have the BCM reprogramed. So they are just driving it for now and we will fix it someday.
I have a 2012 Jaguar XF V8. I am the 2nd owner. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! It has been just as reliable as my previous Acura, Infinity, and way. Way better than a previous BMW. I am looking to get a 2021 F-Pace P400 next . I can't wait for prices to come down a little more. I highly recommend Jaguar as the reliability is getting much better since Ford had them.
I agree, that’s been my experience as well, in my V8 F Type R
Fell in love with Jaguar in my youth riding in my aunt's '69 E-Type convertible. Owned a '98 XJ-L and currently own an '11 XF 5.0 V8. Constant problems with both. Anything on the vehicles that is constructed of plastic or rubber has fallen apart, disintegrated, cracked, leaked, etc. Went through 2 coolant reservoirs and a coolant inlet in 2 years on the XF. The parts cost triple what other manufacturers cost and due to low sales volumes, third party parts producers don't make much for Jaguar, so often hard to find OEM+ upgrade replacement parts. You often have to settle for the doomed to fail Jaguar original stuff.
That being said, they are FAR more luxurious than any of the competitors (BMW, M-B, Lexus, Audi). Ice cold AC, freezing cold ventilated seats, phenomenal leather, padding, and bolstering in the seating, and plush suede. When they're running well, they are the perfect balance of luxury and sportiness, and excel at chewing up highway miles at 85mph in insulated bliss.
If you can wrench and source parts yourself or have an affordable British/Euro mechanic, they are great. If not, STAY AWAY.
I am pleased to announce that I have bought a 2018 F Pace/35T
What a fantastic vehicle it is!!!
Remember that it is really a
Land Rover at heart
Such amazing integrity went into the manufacturing process
Super Rock Solid and
Mighty Fast!!!
I have the high output
High Compression V6
8 speed automatic/AWD
I love driving this vehicle every day!
Congrats. Yes it’s hard to resist driving these great vehicles.
What maintenance issues have you had or needed to perform?
@XX-166 High idle every time I start the engine, it is unnecessarily @1650 rpm for around 45 seconds or more
Afterwards, it goes down to 850rpm until I put it into gear, then it behaves like it supposed to at around 750rpm
I live in Ohio and I called jaguar of Easton and they never returned my calls. And when I do call back, the first thing they do is they ask me for what model are you calling about? And then they leave you on hold forever, and they don't come back to the phone. Somebody at
Land Rover needs to know about this.
@@richardfinch1789 they know their entire line has multiple gremlins, probably why you’re being blown off unfortunately. I was going to purchase one until doing some homework and remembering THIS IS A LAND ROVER PRODUCT!! 😂😂😂😂
I owned a 2017 Jaguar XE. I got it in 2016. I had to give it to my son when his car broke down. I never had a problem with that car! I bought a 2016 Jaguar XF S and drove it for over 1K miles now. I love it! It’s super fast! This one has all the features that I wanted for my XE before. And my XF S had only 26K miles in it! I thought it was awesome! ❤
I've had a 2017 F Pace S, a 2020 F-type SVR, my wife has a 2020 E Pace and I have another F PACE. I've never had any issues with any of them! I blown away there aren't more on the road. The warrantees 5/60000 lead the line, and I love the brand.
I'm actually happy more of those terrible cars aren't on the road, jaguars are soo expensive and unreliable.
@@pastoryoda2789Have you owned a modern Jag, or are you still living in the 80 and 90s like most of the nay sayers?
I’m not surprised to hear you say this. I have friends and family who have owned, or do own, modern Jags, and they have been completely happy with them. My buddy said his Jag was far more problem free than the Audi and BMW he had before it.
@@dlj1285 yes I owned a jaguar and it was a piece of trash 🗑 sold it and bought a Toyota
@@pastoryoda2789 What model and year?
love the phrase you get the screaming kitty cat and the screaming kitty cat of despair lol.
I bought a used 2019 f pace S. Ive placed over 35,000 miles on it so far since I made the purchase and have had zero issues so far. currently at the 72000 mile mark with the vehicle. Also i constantly show off in this thing and force it to live up to that S badge. The car has been really reliable so far
I’m looking at a used f pace that has 98k on it for $16k. Everybody’s telling me don’t do it especially since it’s coming up on 100k but it’s sure is tempting
At least in the US market, it's best to buy a Jaguar brand new as a build-to-order, and drive it for at least 10 years. It worked out beautifully for me for two models (2012 XF V8, and 2022 F-Type P450 RWD). The first 5 years are covered by full warranty and complete cost-free maintenance in the US market.
By the tenth year of the car ownership, any Jaguar models have held up better or have similar depreciation rates than BMW's, Mercedes, and Audi's for similar mileage examples. Furthermore, in my experience, owning the car from the beginning (preferably, build-to-order ones) ensures that the "previous" owners did not abuse the car or skip on important maintenance items. You'd be amazed how many cars get neglected or abused by the first owner, especially if it is a leased vehicle.
Family has owned an F-Pace for over 2years surprisingly little issues albeit it being the 25t trim but enjoyed it lol. I don’t mind them!
9:38 Ive driven the FtypeR Amazing car. The experience clearly shows you why it was a 6 figure car at MSRP. I dont see how the SVR could be much better.
Thanks for reaching out and yes the SVR has a couple nice touches and the extra cash covers the lower production numbers, but performance difference is negligible, so the R is the best bang for buck.
Like I've said before, you really know what you're talking about, you're on point 99.99%.I owe a 2011 XF, best car I've ever had, I won't trade it for a bag of chips 😷🤣😂. I've kept up with the maintenance, hick ups, even the major ones. It's my daily drive, 160k miles now, I was planning to drive it until the wheels fall off, but my Dad is impressed by it and wants it. I'll have to give it up and get myself a Nissan GT-R. I wasn't impressed by the new Jag models, cheaply made, too much electronics. 12 years with that brand are good enough for me.
Thanks for sharing and I would definitely buy some new Jags. The latest F types are amazing as are some F Paces and the XJL. Some cool cars and for an amazing price on the used car market make them a tremendous buy.
@@ECPP the XJ got my attention before they discontinued it. But I'll definitely check the F types as you recommend. I love the new front headlights design for sure.
Jags are really dependent upon specific engines/years. The x300 era of 95-97 are built like tanks and main issue is rust over time. The 4.0 litre v8s late 90s-03 had timing chain tensioner issues. The 4.2 litre v8 until 2010 is solid. The early Stypes are not very good; the later ones are pretty good. 5.0 litre v8s and early SC v6 2010-2913 have timing chain tensioner issues (again). The Turbo I4 is suspect subject to early engine wear. The later 5.0v8 is quite good.
Absolutely some great points as they have some big ups and downs. Most brands have similar challenges too.
@@ECPP your videos are always great btw and I learn a lot. 👍. Jaguar never seems to learn, like with the multiple timing chain tensioner issues. It seems like there is a loss of corporate knowledge/history, sort of like where I work.😂
@@marial8235 you say later 5.0v8 is quite good. Which year onward?
@@johanboshoff5554 Allegedly timing chain tensioners were fixed 2013 and later. I’d do more research because that was what I read a few years ago.things may have changed since.
@@marial8235 much appreciated.
I have a 2002 xkr. It's been great. Also have a 96 XJ6. It been the most reliable car I've ever owned .
Love the honesty. Still love the old XJR’s from the Whitesnake videos
I almost traded in my rx350 2017 for a 2020 f pace SVR. Just couldn't justify the cost and likely repairs in the future. However if money wasn't as much of an issue I would have done it.
Thank you for the honest opinionated information! I’m on the line and ready to jump. You just slowed me down to take more time to think and make a right decision!
Great cars though, thats why I bought one
I have a petrol Jaguar XE R Sport AWD 25t. It's a 2017 and has 30k miles on the clock. I have had no issues at all. I added a tuning box by TDI which raised the 250bhp to 300bhp. The car is pretty quick and an excellent handling car. Far better than it's rivals in class.
Got a used 2017 3.0 XE. 82k miles last year. Had to replace the coolant pipes and alternator (coolant was spewing on it from a leaky hose) replaced those and she’s been great ever since. Been considering getting her tuned
They are nice cars and have had a few on loan for long term reviewers and always enjoyed having them
From what I knows, the coolant issues are the big problem. I whole heartedly believe a lot of the electrical issues come from irregular maintenance/leaks that compound into bigger issues.
I see a 2017 f-type for like 20k at a nearby dealer, under 100k miles. Worth it?
Too many miles
@ECPP 85k to be specific
@@RedHoodFHI’d only consider if it was like 30k miles with atleast 3 years of warranty.
I bought a used 2007 S-Type 8 yrs ago. Since then the Jag had performed beyond my expectations. It's been the most reliable car I've ever owned, and at 78 yrs old, I've owned a lot of cars. I still have the original front brake pads. At 17yrs old my Jag still turns heads, and it's a blast to drive!
Im looking at a 2014-2015 Ftype are for 26,000.. I dont know how this video made me feel about it lol. How has your held up? would you recommend the car??
Just bought a 2021 F Pace SVR as a CPO with 40k miles. Have unlimited miles for 3 yrs warranty. I hope she stays reliable for a while
Fun SVR I deed
I’ve had a 2016 XF 3.0 SC for about five years now. My issues have been nagging rear camera fuzziness, a leaking front differential, and a coolant pressure tank. Other than that it’s been absolutely perfect, and all repairs were done under warranty. It’s now at 115,000km and frankly I’m at a loss on what I would replace it with. It drives beautifully, plenty of poke, etc.
Three words: service, service, service.
I’d absolutely get into another Jag - ideally a CPO just in case.
And the same would be said for a Merc, BMW, or Audi.
Bought 2014 Xf supercharger used.. I can’t go 3-6 months without something going wrong. Smartly I bought the best warranty available. It’s been a minimum of $2k every time I need repairs. That warranty has paid for itself 10x over. My warranty is up at 125,000 miles and it has 120,000 miles currently
I guess if you know every point of failure because of your research, you can buy any vehicle in peace.
I have the Jaguar XJL and you damn right i would have no other. I have no problems at all except one thing, where in the hell to drive it next? Very luxurious and offers me a range of 570 miles which supersedes any EV. Yeah I'll keep my jaguar XJl....
Never seen a soul patch like that. It’s huge
You would think I was Texan
Im about to drop 25 grand on a low milage f-pace with 2 years warranty...im terrified this will be a tragic mistake. Heard the Diesels are a nightmare so im going for the 2L petrol.
They are too... car is too heavy for 2L, ull be better with a 3L
@@oueey I bought it in the end and it moves like a cheetah with a rocket up it's ass. The 3l would have been better, but I think going for the 2l petrol was the best right call
I saw a 2017 jaguar for like 15,000 dollars with 78k miles on it. Is that good or should i just satau away
Cheers
Well…. I did buy a used Jaguar. I know it will cost me but I can expect this. Got a F-Pace S and I love it. Just got to keep it up…. I paid after market warranty.
what year? the supercharged one? i was thinking about getting one but was skeptical on reliability and heard about many issues, would you reccomend?
The extended warranty for the 2021 I just looked at was 6k for 3 years .. got multiple quotes 😪
@@therealcyrussorry late response. V6 supercharged 2019. It rides nice! I just have to upkeep up.
How much was the used Jaguar? I missed that part.
I paid 75k for mine
I see, thank you.
I'm seriously thinking of getting an F Pace. I'm a pretty good hand with tools and cars so maintenance and repairs on British and German cars doesn't scare me.
Anything is fixable and these are actually not bad to work on, from my experience
Me watching the first 3 minutes of this video: Um, is this video supposed to convince me to purchase a used Jaguar or not?
No
11:01 very informative, Mark. Thanks for the perspective!
Reliability is king!
Wondering can you do a segment on Cadillac cars
Absolutely I can
Jaguar money pit love the comfort and style of older J cars though.
Almost all
Modern vehicle have huge potential to be money outs especially European vehicles, however, these are wonderful to drive in every way
agree which is why I fixed everything on my older E46 M3 BMW car as it still drives better and nicer than 90% of newer vehicles and cost less than new@@ECPP

@@ECPPam thinking to buy a 2019 espace
Did you compare the issues to the ones of f01 7 series and w221 s class? This one stands way better in that term, coming form an owner of a xjl with 80k miles now

Merry Christmas Mark, family and friends 🇨🇦✌🏻🫶🏻
Thank you very much and wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
Can you do a review video on Kia stringers??
I had one and luckily I bought it from carmax. For 3 visits, 50 dollars a visit; I basically got a new engine, transmission, supercharger, and an electrical issue fix.
Whoa that sounds like a lemon
@@ECPP well 150 using crmax's warranty and it has been trouble free ever since. But I also use top quality euro synthetic oil that meets my M5's requirement.
I have a 2017 Jaguar XE 35T. It's been one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned. Only oil changes, tires, and brakes (all done myself). I also own a 2021 Mazda CX-9 Carbon Edition. Everything in the Mazda feels cheap compared to the Jaguar.
My question won't fitbin this video but I left toyota for a mazda cx-30 2024 and it's been very quiet ride i can say. My question is they have a turbo version and was wondering if this channel can tell me more about it as though i may change it for a turbo or not.
What about the resale for myself .. if I want to buy a used one now … would that be a bad decision for resale after 5 years ? I’ve been told that’s like screwing myself
Is there a particular year of the F-Pace that you would buy. Crazy thought, but I have a beautiful 2022 BMW X4 M40i (all blacked out, top of line -- B58 engine, made sure that was the case, thanks to you, handsome). It cost $82k off the lot, it was paid for after 1.5 years. I am thinking of selling, because my miles is so low (under 8k) and it is like a new car (I work from home). I saw a beautiful 2021 F-pace at carmax and for what I think I could get for my BMW, I could buy the F-pace and my son a used mazda 3 or something with zero or maybe a few thousand bucks left over that I would have to pay out of pocket. The F-pace is so gorgeous, it is the only car (outside of the MB GLC or GLE coupe) that I would consider selling my BMW. People stop me all the time (to even take pics) of my BMW (it is in the lovely brooklyn gray).
The coolant leaking issue is not just on Jag but also existing on all their RangeRovers...
Us British are proud to feature these weight reducing features on vehicles.
@@Blue-moon12 good job
2018 Jaguar XE 35t RSport RWD 3.0 - My cooling system pipes cracked at 75k miles. Just before my warranty expired. Other than that no real issues.
But they look awesome
Yes they do and provide great value for the money
Are Jaguars or Maseratis less reliable?
60,000 miles on my 2017 XJ and ive had zero issues... reliability has been great
I love this explanation I was looking into buying a used E pace
Thanks fornwatching
What is CPO? I searched it up but couldn't find relevant answers.
Also I'm from India and it's not much of a used term over here so I was wondering....🤔🤔
while I love Jaguar, admittedly, it does suffer from it's fair share of maladies, but apart from the Japanese brands, it's no worse than it's other European counterparts. There's far fewer Jaguars on the road so statistically a few problems translates into a higher % failure rate. 5 Jaguars failing when 100 is sold is 5% vs 5 BMW's in a market that has 1000 ! Jaguar still makes some of the most wonderful cars.
Wonderful for sure.
Question How are the 2.0 to 3.0 Diesel as far as Reliability? I see a lot of these for sale at good prices in the SUV and Sedan just need your expertise and opinion.
For the 2.0 diesel I would change to 5w40 oil and change it every 5thousand miles to not have timing chain problems
I test drove one and it was pretty noisy and slow. I think it would last longer because you don't want to drive it anywhere ;)
Thanks for sharing your video those jaguar suv look like my toyota venza hybrid
Yes they do
I also have a ford era 2008 XJ no problems whatsoever. So I do not agree that Ford messed up Jaguar. In fact , just the opposite! Now that Tata has taken it over, major problems and everything else - and let's not talk about the HORRIBLE styling.
Ford era xj and s-types are bulletproof brilliant cars yes some parts fomoco tagged but thats good they are not expensive to manufacture
Dipped my toes again after an expensive X Type experience. Just dumped a large sum in refitting a low mile (but rubber deteriorated) S Type. My Femme Fatale. They are just too gorgeous. And in proper form, there is nothing like a Jaguar. I do not own this beauty; I am the caretaker for the next generation. Hopefully someone will love this and care for it as will.
Great points and they are such wonderful cars especially in the premium cars. The X tyoe was a Ford Mondeo and not as pure but the others are wonderful cars
I want an extra level of luxury but I also don’t want that car sitting in a shop all the time…luxury and reliability should go hand in hand. If not, it’s easy to feel like a sucker.
Growing in the Northeast, I remember the Popular Luxury Vehicles people Drove in the 80s and early 90s where the Yuppies definitely had the BMW & Mercedes, Snooty Elites had the Saabs & Volvo and the Mafia or Pastors of Churches had their Cadillac & Lincoln. And Drug Dealers Drove a little bit of everything 😆. And all other Luxury Vehicles fell in between. But I do remember seeing a lot of Jaguars back then. I kinda believe that when Lexus & Infiniti came out ,there was a shift of Options. By the Early 2000s when Jaguar came out with the Ugly Twins the X and S Type it started going down Hill from there. I rarely see a lot of Jags on the road anymore. They are kinda like what Audi's used to be at a stop light. What is that?...lol Jags are still beautiful Cars. But the only one I've ever considered was just something simple and thats a pre owned XE.
Best review so far!!!
You are so right, "Timing is everything in Sales". Having spent hundreds of hours in a Jaguar and many in a Service Waiting Room, I laughed all through your excellent presentation. But when you talked about the Jag engine and ended it with something like, "And here it sits in the Dumpster"...I swear, I almost pissed myself!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I always drove a BMW before. Now I've decided on a Range Rover. I'm really impressed by the quality. I think I'll only buy a Range Rover from now on (maybe a Jaguar diesel/model year 2024!!!). Highly recommended!! Greetings from Germany
Great review. I own a 2016 Jaguar Xf that I purchased new in 2016 . Zero problems and sad 😢 that they gone full electric.

Keep it up Mark. Love the info. I'm still aiming for that F Type. The new headlights look like a Ford Mondeo, don't do it
So you also prefer the older body style?
The pre-facelift is more characterful, but both are gorgeous.
They’re both nice but the new front end serves to make the gen 1 car look dated in comparison. People seem split on it though.
Great information. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Smart to buy a used Jaguar instead of new vehicle to minimize the depreciation cost.
There is still some money lost but a great deal can be had.
Cracking the price mystery
I have a 2017 F-Pace S. Dealt with a coolant leak so far, which was an expensive repair and sensitive electronics. But I must say the driving experience on the supercharged V6 is exceptional. People definitely pay for the emotion/feel. Get yourself a beautiful exciting European girlfriend and expect to find yourself paying more, just so yo can enjoy her company one more time. Just like a Ducati.
Don't do the new F-Type. They sound terrible compared to older ones... I wouldn't be suprised if the older F-Types will be the ones holding their value better than the latest ones. (Plus I prefer the older looks). What's missing I think is the I-Pace. There's no petrol engine to go wrong, there's not much servicing to do, ...
The relaibilyt actually quite the opposite with the XE. The on that had the ford engine 2015-2017 are the most reliable ones. At least in the UK. The Ingenium engines are famously bad, there is a serious issue with the timing chain quality. It is so bad, that there are companies that specialised on that. It cost a good £2000- 2500. If you buy one, it is better if you start with that and then you might have a reliable car.
I alwwys enjoy your videos. I find that Jaguar is still suffering their credibility that was destroyed way back when they were owned by British Leyland. Ford changed all that, and i think their bad reputatoon is obsolete. My F-type R has performed flawlessly for years. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another. I had a Corvette Z06 with the mighty LS7 and was told it was a ticking time bomb, as it would drop one of those huge valves and destroy the engine. Never happened. The big V8 in my SL63 AMG is also supposed to be a brick waiting to happen. 13 years and still no problem. Perhaps I have just been lucky, but i'm enjoying premium cars that i bought at deeply depreciated prices.
You are totally right, its the old reputation that hurt the Jag brand the most. Far more than reality and my experience has also been at least as reliable as anything else from the likes of Benz or Bimmer and honestly so far even better. A little maintenance keep abuse off the table and they will run for a long time.
Isn’t it funny how people will just not let go of the past, even though the true reality is that modern jags are pretty good. The other complicating factor that haunts them beyond their past is the current reality that there are quite a few problems on the Land Rover Range Rover side of the house. So perhaps they get some reliability guilt by association. It’s seems odd that the LR RR side would be so much worse for issues, but it is.
Good morning Mark, Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄🎅💗🌹🤜
Good morning Scott, great to hear from you again, and hope you have been keeping well. How have things been? You also be sure to have a wonderful holiday season and a Merry Christmas
I'm good, or as good as I can be with lung cancer 😂, so when are you moving to the Okanagan Valley 🎉😂🎉
24 year 260000 miles S-type. Not much goes wrong. no oil consumption. Gearbox strong and reliable still. BUT I do service on it and maintain it.
The engine in the dumpster was great!!!
Haha, indeed
i need help i wanna buy 2013 XF 2.2l disel its a relible engine ?
i had one , engine yes , but electric it is on another level , i had 1000 problems on mine and it was well mantain . I had so much hassle i end up selling the car on 1/3 price of what i pay on it , I the end was nice to drive , nightmate to keep it on the road , it was so hard to find parts to for . Check and check , recheck the car befor you buy it
how is Jag gonna do electric cars when they can’t do electric on thier ice cars right?
Dude! You get it, there are DEALS to be gotten within the brand. Just pad your offer and you'll be fine. Jag has made some of the most beautiful motorcars of our time.....E TYPE anyone? Your like me, you can afford to pay when work needs to be done so just BUY SMARTLY and you'll enjoy beautiful English styling and luxury!
I LOVE MY F TYPE PERIOD!! IT'S SO RELIABLE IT ALL DEPENDS IN HOW PEOPLE TAKE CARE OF THE CAR!!!
I totally agree with you. Owning a Jaguar is throwing away money in the toilet. I have the F pace I think the devil 😈 was holding my hands to the garage. I still can't comprehend why the hell when you start them up it rev so loud 😤 not even a 30 years old car rev that loud 😒
Why is it that all of the vehicles that I love the looks of are the ones with the worst problems and the ones that have the best reliability or the ones that I don’t even want to get right now
