Why a Used Jaguar is SO Cheap (And Why I'm Buying One) 

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.

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 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.

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!😊

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 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.

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 👍

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.

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'm blown away by the honesty.

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..

Mark is the real deal boys, everything he said about my Charger is true, he does not mess around and I feel like I can come here to get the real scoop, love this guy

11:01 very informative, Mark. Thanks for the perspective!

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).

Merry Christmas Mark, family and friends 🇨🇦✌🏻🫶🏻

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.

Amazing Content Mark!

Excellent summary.

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.

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.

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 👍.

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!

I love this explanation I was looking into buying a used E pace

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??

Cracking the price mystery

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.

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.

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.

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.

Can you do a review video on Kia stringers??

Good morning Mark, Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄🎅💗🌹🤜

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!

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.

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

Hard to miss a V8 with a motor like this one has!

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.

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 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.

Reliability is king!

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.

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.

love the phrase you get the screaming kitty cat and the screaming kitty cat of despair lol.

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.

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

Are Jaguars or Maseratis less reliable?

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.

I put 220,000 miles on a 2004 Jag. It was a work horse.

I guess if you know every point of failure because of your research, you can buy any vehicle in peace.

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.

Never seen a soul patch like that. It’s huge

Thanks for sharing your video those jaguar suv look like my toyota venza hybrid

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.

Thanks for talking me out of buying a used f pace 😅

Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 Mark

Id love to hear your opinion on the glb300 im really eyeing one would be a huge uograde iver my current kia Sportage 2017 but is it worth the extra $ for the glc? And overall your opinion on the glb!

Hi from Nevada. I'm looking at a CPO 2021 or 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 for around $31k-$32k with less than 15k miles. Anyone know if these are reliable?

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.

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

i need help i wanna buy 2013 XF 2.2l disel its a relible engine ?

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.

Wondering can you do a segment on Cadillac cars

Never heard of coolant pipes being metal I’m assuming that’s in colder countries

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.

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....

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

Well said.

The coolant leaking issue is not just on Jag but also existing on all their RangeRovers...

Jaguar money pit love the comfort and style of older J cars though.

I have a Jaguar xf 2014 portfolio 2.2 diesel it has been the best car I have ever driven. Over 200,000 miles and the only thing to ever go wrong was a new alternator. I was getting 62mpg on the motorways and was a pleasure to drive. Thanks to Khan and his disgusting ULEZ I have had to put it in storage and get an electric car. Although technologically the electric BMW is amazing it does not have the same drive experience as my Jaguar. Considering an ipace but the insurance is an absolute joke even with over 20 years no claim bonus!!

The engine in the dumpster was great!!!

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.

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!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

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.

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.

Im currently looking at a 2010 xfr with a little over 100k miles on it are they reliable

Smart to buy a used Jaguar instead of new vehicle to minimize the depreciation cost.

Love my Jaguar XE.

I still want an F-Type.

How much was the used Jaguar? I missed that part.

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!

The problem of the US market is poor maintenance.

I.Miss. My. Audi. So. Badly. Its sitting on the side of the house with a seized supercharged 3.0 V6

Can’t trade ain’t worth no money stuck in one now

Yes learned my lesson never again

Good luck with getting your jaguar through emissions.😮

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.

Sad that Jaguars went from the XJS and XKE to what they are now.

TY,,,,,,WOW incredible very interesting great information super kool, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ ,keep up the great work.

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 would rather own a heavy jag then a Corvette. I feel that's a stretch.(Bmw owner)

That F-Type R has 575 hp.

Maintenance is not cheap with Audi or BMW either

I don't change my Toyota Corolla ❤️ for nothing else...

If only XK-Es were SO cheap...

If you want a luxury vehicle, you shouldn't be crying about expensive maintenance. Or just get a Toyota.

The kitty of despair….. 😂

WICH JAGUAR DID YOU BOUGHT

Mine have been reliable. People who buy these things do not do the deserved meticulous maintenance on these cars so they depreciate prematurely.

You can probably make a decent living specializing in repairing Jaguars and Landrovers.

How cheap ? I’ll buy one for myself, also any cheap Range Rover ? once you drive those machines a new Camry or a Rav-4 feels like a “transportation” 😂
