Jaguar XJ6 X350

Well 4 weeks in with the Jag and Stella Artois says I should let you lot know some thoughts.

Its a 2003 car.  Popular plus version with the 3.0 V6.   Had it for even less than 4 weeks around 4 years ago. But now getting to use it regularly.    And it is such a nice car. Nice is the word.  A real feel good factor with it.   Smooth, quiet, just sit back and relax.   151k miles but for once you would really not think it.    What not to like? Typical Jag headlining letting gravity win, and the heater/air con is well dodgy.    Possible heater matrix blockage, possible one of the heater flap motors stuck. Possibly something else equally pain in the arse to sort. Heater blows between cool and mild.  Useful for winter coming up.  Thankfully it has heated seats and heated screen so should be usable.

I've had many a car over the years - what I would describe as interesting and unusual, but i have to confess this thing is getting under my skin.    The 3.0 is perfectly good and is not heavy on juice (Subaru Outback 3.0 is the daily, hence that comment).     Cannot recommend enough to anyone in a position to get one. Sure it will bite big time at one point. but these are available for not huge money and the same money as rubbish Astras etc.

I've yet to push the Jaaaaaag button, but it will happen soon, I'm sure of it.

Worth it if you can live with the what if.......

And between posting this and now, the mate i bought it from has just sold it to another pal of his.  £1100 profit so not so be sneezed at.  But I liked it!!!!

Still a classy looking motor. The newer Jags do nothing for me Im afraid.

I'm slowly coming round to this shape of XJ. I wasn't a fan when they came out, thinking they looked like an X300 that had let itself go. The fact they don't rust goes a long way though...

I wish everyone on here would stop showing me their Jag XJ6s, making me want one again. 😛
