Current trade prices are at rock bottom is X type too good to be true or just mean it’s a bad car ? 

It’s a classic as far as I’m concerned, just look at it. These were great cars, criminally underrated and unfairly ignored. I loved mine. Get your gearbox oil changed if it hasn’t been done already! Loved the XJ section, what a nice fella Brian is. Great video.

I have the Mondeo that this Jag is underpinned on, not a bad thing at all, I like both , both are good cars, my previous car was a Rover underpinned on a Honda, it’s sensible manufacturing and business sense, my Mondeo is an absolute delight to drive it’s 18 yrs old now, one owner on 72k , these Jags were sadly slated and undervalued and underrated particularly by the media. I think it’ll become very collectible, as with the Mk3 Mondeo as that now has quite a following. A modern SUV doesn’t cut it for me at all.

To own a 2007 model x type 2.0D in Turkey means paying 12.000~30.000 GBP. Believe me, You are lucky for live in England, the paradise of these beautiful and cheap cars. I also buy my spare parts on ebay and pay a lot of shipping and taxes. This may sound crazy but I love this car. In my home country people's fear of this car is that spare parts and service are expensive. It's actually a intriguing car and anybody know about it. I think it's one of the last classics in the transition to modern times. I find it worth reading the jaguar forums to understand the problems or issues and then compiling them and explaining them to the mechanics here for minutes. I think there's an old soul in the design. My friends and people around me sympathize with the x type. When I travel in this car , I feel a peacefulness that reminds me of the old times.Great video! Thanks Sir.

I found your arrival a great watch and agree 100 per cent. I also believe the type is totally under estimated. I have owned a 2003 Xtype for the last 4 years and l receive all l am looking for both in the drive and comfort. Woody Perth Western Australia

My 21 yrs of ownership with Jaguar X-types tells the X-type is satisfying, rewarding, still makes me confident and relaxed behind the wheel.

I have a 2005 x type and love her to bits.definatly a modern classic.

Loved the little red MX5 mk1 next to yours... We have one of those too.

I've got 2006 X-Type 2.0D and I'm renovating it (some things require it). I will keep him as a backup car no matter what. What an awesome car.

I have a 2008 2.0D which I love, tax is only £190 per year and it does 60MPG on long runs and is hard pressed to go under 47 mpg during normal driving, I've done a lot of work and upgrades on mine since I had it as I want to keep it for the long term, they are brilliant cars and its far more reliable than the old XJR sport I had in the early 2000's which was constantly giving me mostly electrical headaches, Ford being involved with Jaguar at this point made the cars so much more reliable and anyone who can't afford the running or road tax of the petrol versions should look at the diesel ones as they are still brilliant cars and if you stick to the oil change schedule every year and spray a can of turbo cleaner into the air intake at each service in my experience it will serve you well, and if you want it to sound much smoother and quieter then fitting an overrunning alternator pulley (OAP) will only set you back about £30 in the part and about an hours labour at most with someone who knows what they are doing, or even do it yourself like I did. All cars look the same nowadays and I've had more complimentary comments about the X-type than I ever did about the XJR Sport ;-)

I agree with you, my wife thinks so. I like driving it better than my much newer skoda superb. The ride and handling are great for comforrable journeys. I also like the auto-wipers, lights and rear view auto anti-glare dip. The electric seats with lumber support and the heated seats work quicker than the superb turning itself off before your bum gets too hot. Sat nav is a bit annoying needing street name as well as town, but if you know the post code it works well. Mines the deisel 2.0L and gentle running I can get over 60mpg beleive it or not. I've just welded up the sills and renovated/protected all the underbody with wax-oiling to follow before it falls apart :-)

My current daily drive is an X Type 3.0 Sovereign auto...station wagon.

Let the naysayers say what they will about the Jaguar X Type. I have owned a rust-free example of the 3.0 2005 for 4 years now, and I love it. Drive one before you judge it. sure, it's not an XJ, but it's still a Jaguar. Mine even has the Leaper Hood ornament.

A great clip

Love my 2003 X Type unfortunately rust advisory on this years mot so it may have to go but im so tempted to look for another but rust free.

Car in the clip same colour as my first x type... 2.5 SE Auto

Is it a classic or not... yes it is.

I think the title should read TOO good to be true, not TO good to be true?

X type is a classic car 😊😊👌

What is the colour or paint code. My passanger door jamb says its 51R

I believe it is a classic car

Why are these old Jaguars so cheap?. Well it because Jaguars were never made for the masses until reasently when Ta Ta bought them. Jaguars in the past were made for the few and were never that popular with the majority, like BMW and or Mercedes-Benz. And so you either get them or you don't.Jaguars were rather a unique car and popularity is more important to most than uniqueness.

good cars better than a ford 😃

Had the 3l V6 brand new in 2003.....it's the only vehicle....and. Definitely THE ONLY CAR....I personally.... HATE!... Gave it away...not worth selling it😂😂

Because it's basically a Mondeo? also everyone and I mean everyone wants a shite SUV these days.. sigh.
