2005 Jaguar XJ8 Long Base V8

Summary:

I enjoy driving the car whenever I get the chance!!

Faults:

When the temperature is below 40 degrees, the front air suspension sometimes fails. However, when I keep the car in the garage, the air suspension works correctly.

Also, alarm was going off randomly. The "hood open" warning light would come on. I cleaned the connections to the hood and used liquid wrench spray on the springs and fasteners. This action corrected the problem.

General Comments:

When I test drove the car, I could not believe the quick response. The handling was great. Brand new, this model costs over $60,000. I purchased this luxury vehicle for less than $8,000. It had 95k miles on it, clean service and accident record. The only fix I will have to do to it will be repairing the sunroof. Currently, I just keep it closed.

It has factory chrome Jaguar wheels. New tires, new brakes. I took it to a Jaguar dealership to have it diagnosed and they gave it a clean "bill of health." The service guys were very impressed with the car.

I did not purchase a warranty on the car; I took a big gamble, but I figure if there is a problem, I'll just have to bite the bullet.

I drive the car on the weekends. I have a Ford SUV I use as my daily driver.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
