- This is everything that is currently broken on my 2011Jaguar XJL. It is actually not all that much and most of it isn't serious. If you have any questions just leave a comment and I will answer it within 24 hours. Stay safe and enjoy! More to come soon ;)
This fo everyone who thinks he tryin fuck up jaguar reputation or dat looking for this car he ain't saying it's finna happen to you he just showing potential problems dat might happen
Thank you for being the only person who understands this video!
there is a saying that goes, "if you can't afford a brand new Jaguar then you sure can't afford a used Jaguar" :D lol Jaguars are nothing but endless money pits with very poor quality and if someone has managed to keep them running then they're not disclosing the $15K per year spent on maintenance to keep those things running
@@DamienMalakay Yeah, not true at all.
@@JetFire9this guy literally showed you the piece of shit car this is and you're still in denial lol
I don't speak Hood.
I have a 2012 XJ Diesel 92,000 miles (149,000kms). Its in immaculate condition. Not a single scratch, absolutely zero wear, leather like brand new, dashboard like new, smells like its brand new, you would think it came out of the factory last week. Never had any reliability issues with her at all. Full and very detailed service history. Everything done on time, including all wheel alignments and balancing. Never broke down, never had any engine check lights pop up or any warning lights at all.
Some cars are definitely taken care of a lot better than others. Most of the issues on my car I bought it with. That’s amazing though!
Wow that’s great. There are not that many things wrong with mine and what’s wrong is not major issues so I’m very happy with how it’s held up.
@AlertedHalo> Are you sure we are talking about the same car? 😂
Nigga talkin like he ‘bout to sell his car to us
Glad to hear you have a diesel, I just bought a diesel XJ Portfolio. Have you heard much about the crankshaft breaking?
A lot of these issues are just down to poor maintenance. Not necessarily on your part, but these Jaguars hold up in almost perfect condition beyond 100k miles
That’s the whole point of my video it’s to show that a lot less has gone wrong than most of the general population would think at this point in its life.
True story. My 16' xjl is my 2nd one and I loved the 1st one and my current one
@@ddm0429 lucky you lol. my 2011 has been sitting for awhile since it needs the engine replaced at 60k miles smh. I love that car too
@@EresCuloFace maaannnn im so sorry to hear that :( ☹ What's the price look like if you don't mind me asking? Also since its under 100k some of that should be covered under warranty right?
I disagree
Alot of these issues are down to faulty manufacturing and electronics
Pieces falling, electric motors not working, and a loose steering wheel *HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH POOR MAINTENENCE OR ABUSE*
I have a 2014 XJ Portfolio with 51K miles and have no broken items or issues. I bought it certified pre-owned three years ago. These cars are really well made and will last for years if well maintained. Any car will have issues if they are used and abused by prior owners. Best of luck with this car, it looks great in white!
That’s very true! Luckily I will maintain it much better than them! What color is yours?
That driver's seat is filthy, dude. Speaks volumes of a rough life, and possibly neglected maintenance. Still, annoying things to break at 60tm.
I was thinking the same. Very grubby seats.⚠️
Incorrect cleaning causes most leather damage .
But not letting them get dirty in the 1st place is key
Quiet, well spoken chap, says the word 'Jaguar' in the correct English way........Keeps a baseball bat next to the drivers seat. RESPECT!
The rear shade is just stuck. Gently pull it up while someone presses the button and it will operate normally.
Haha thanks man!
@@MECUXD I will try this and let you know!
@@XJLuxury did it work ????
Can't believe you have a baseball bat at the side of your driver seat.
I suggest a 12 inch shifter, it's easier to justify its existence.
I clocked that as well, very Ronnie and Reggie Kray and made it a bit more true to an authentic old school UK Jag! Possibly the reason it's shunting if it's sticking on that.
Dude, straight up, my heart goes out for you. That is a LOT of issues on your whip, man! I just picked up a 2014 XJL Portfolio. Looks identical to your car. Bought it with 35k miles. My car is immaculate currently, now I'm pretty damn paranoid about it! lol... Hope you get her fixed up, or something works out for you. Love your videos, keep em coming!
Thanks man I appreciate the support! All cars age differently based upon location and previous owners. I for sure am going to treat her much better than her past owners. The key is to keep it garaged if you can! Good luck with your car! Keep an eye out for my next video you’re going to love it!
Man I'm scared as hell now to get a jaguar now smh
@@taylormadecash9843 i got 1 you better be
Starting with an immaculate car it can only get worse :-(
People don't let this distract you from the fact that this was already a SALVAGED vehicle to begin with.
Thank you for reminding them. Majority of the items that are broken have nothing to do with the fact that its salvaged.
@@XJLuxury Ah! That answers a lot of questions! As you can see, I've been saying all the way down that it's been accident damaged and this has EVERYTHING to so with the majority of things that are broken. In a shunt there are tonnes of force involved, and for me it was clear from the start that a lot of the parts (if not all of them) have been broken because they are very weak.
I CAN ASSURE YOU that these things do NOT usually break on a Jag, it was obvious to me straight away that this has been in a shunt and that shunt has weakened and loosened a lot of parts on the car. This would happen with pretty much any car in an accident, I guarantee you that all those things are due to the accident. Confirmed to me that it was a salvage as soon as I saw that broken window, it's not a factory flaw.
I’ve owned several Jaguars and they are the most reliable cars you can hope for plus so much class
I agree!
this is worse than when Chevrolet claimed to be more reliable than Honda! to say that Jaguar vehicles are the most reliable is really not knowing anything about vehicles! Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Volkswagen just to name a few that are more reliable than any Jaguar ever built. Plus a Toyota owner isn't spending $15K a year on maintenance just to keep the damn thing running. Neil Smith, your comment should be flagged lol honestly though you really should try learning about cars. This guy just spent 35 minutes telling us all the things broken on a car that barely hit 60K miles and you're gonna say Jaguar is reliable? how about the fact he can't even open his sunroof 'cause he's afraid it might never close again lol and how about the cost to fixing all these things? lol Jaguar is about as reliable as a Chevy
@@DamienMalakay I am only going on my and several friends experiences.
None of us have had a single problem over many years
I'm planning on buying 2013 XJL V8 with 28k miles on it, but watching you video, which is great BTW, makes think twice.
This video should do the opposite for you. It should show you that these cars hold up better than people say.
@@XJLuxury motor? I got 1 now cost me 30,000 i put 5,000 in it all ready
@@printissgraham4930 What did you have to fix? How many miles on it when purchased?
Great video! Just picked up a 2011 supercharged. Get tons of compliments on the looks. Keep the videos coming!
Wow congratulations on the car and will do! I got some great content coming
Man I nearly fell out of bed when you said $1500 for a headlight then I checked on eBay and your right cheapest I could find was £1088 around $1400 wow I'm thinking of buying a high miler her in the uk and selling the bits I could sell the lights front and rear then the rest would be profit
Nice video keep it up
That would be a good idea. You also need to remember headlights with AFS are much more expensive than non AFS ones. Thanks!
My ladys 2016 buick enclave front light cost $2000 to fix. Maybe I should get her a jag so we can afford the upkeep 🤷♂️
All cars with those headlights now days. Like audi. Bmw. Mercedes benz. Jags. They all cost over 1000 pounds :)
There used to be a common saying, here in Germany, during the old Jaguar times, "if you are wealthy, you ride a Mercedes, if you are rich, you own a Jaguar." But to be fair, this was related to the unreliability of these cars in the 1970s under British Leyland. But this has changed completely since the years under the wings of Ford. They tidied up the company and helped Jaguar to survive and to overcome all the problems they had when not enough money was around to produce on a par with Mercedes who for a long time had been the Jaguar Managements goal. Today's Jags are as reliable as any other make of luxury cars. And by the way, I remember that a bulb replacement on an 2007 E-Class cost about 800 Euro, just the part (work additional) at the Mercedes dealership, because the bulb couldn't be changed. The whole front light had to be changed because the whole thing was sealed and glued so that opening would have destroyed the complete thing. Seems all makers of luxury cars a ripping off their customers.
I’m wondering how many of these issues are down to the fact that this car has clearly been in an accident and poorly repaired…..
I purchase used vehicles in this segment. Never buy a 90k vehicle from an 'as is' type auto auction. You will get it at a fraction of the original msrp but will will be doing videos like this guy on what's wrong with my car. He is extremely entertaining and has a sense of humor. Great video!!! I think I will subscribe!
Thanks for the kind words! Keep in mind this was a salvage auction not a repo or dealer auction.
Wow my glass cracked exactly like that "right" before i sold the car. The car was just sitting outside and nothing hit my window. I'm glad that you showed this, it explains things to me know.
Wow that’s crazy. I thought I was the only one. It’s a shame that this happened
Same here with the glass :( 2011 xjl
@@abovenbeyondlimits81 What's the deal with this car? I've never heard of this happening to any other car THIS frequently.
One thing that should be understood and, like you, I think many who buy Jaguars understand, but they are absolute masters at initial quality. What I mean is this. They understand their market so well. Most who buy Jags brand new are fairly wealthy and as such are either those that always lease or depreciation eaters (those that like throwing away money on depreciation by buying new vehicles and then selling, also around the same time a lease would run out. So, like other luxury brands, these vehicle are fantastic at initial quality = the first 4 years, roughly. Then the rest of the time is a crapshoot really. I don't know how they manage to balance cost by using materials that last specifically for initial quality, but they all do it.
There are a lot of folks, however, who don't understand this. This is the number 1 reason why nearly every used jag as the most owners of any vehicles I have ever seen consistently. These cars are not for those people. Who they are for though are those of us who appreciate the styling the quirks, inconsistent material quality, but most importantly the stance and driving experience. Those who'd not really ever buy these from dealers, but instead opt for the adventure of an auction buy. While not always true, everything adapts to the bell curve after all, I'd never recommend a jag to anyone if it is going to be their only car AND if they would be paying someone to work on it themselves. I have 2 (as of this weekend, actually). I have had an X-Type and just recently procured a 2011 XJL Supercharged 5.0 from Copart for $900. It will be a little of a project, but not terrible and I can do all of the work myself. I plan on buying one that is for parts only/crash damaged that I can probably get for pretty cheap and then use it as a donor for the one I just recently bought.
After 5 years in an 8 year old Lexus with over 100,000 miles I have had zero such issues. I'd forgotten how lucky I got making that choice. I have been totally taking it for granted. This video is a useful reminder/cautionary tail.
You would have been fine with a Jag, only people who don't own them think they're unreliable. This one is classic accident damaged.
Oh man this is one abused jaguar. It is so sad to see that due to poor maintenance so many things are broken and that leather is screaming for some cleaning. Looks like it was in the front end collision as the gaps on the bonnet and wings doesn't line up. Oh man sad very sad
Yes everything that you said is true. I did mention in the video that this car was in a front end collision that was fixed up by me. I am in the process of restoring this vehicle to its former glory
Great honest video don’t see enough of this on here
Thank you I really appreciate that!
XJLuxury keep up the great content 🙌
Thanks for the input, man! I really hope to buy a hugely depreciated 2016-2017 XJL within 6 years!! Here in Italy you don't get to see many Jaguars! I had actually heard that this WONDERFUL car doesn't have many issues, although I understand you wanted to make everything clear about the flaws of your personal model!! At the moment I own a BMW 3 series MY 19, but I often think of the XJ!! Looking forward to purchase it; it could even be perfect for a family! Great job! Keep it up! I also hope you're doing fine during these quite tiresome times! Stay strong and be safe! Peace
Thank you for your support of my video and good luck with your search in six years! You will definitely be able to get one for cheap by then. We are all doing fine in my family over here thank you for your concern and I hope you stay safe as well.
Don’t buy it! They are beautiful but not worth the constant mechanical issues until you need a new motor after a few years
Lease one, drive it for the novelty, return the problem. Please listen!!!!!!!!!
Great video, thank you XJLUXURY!!! I love the Jag can’t wait for the reliability series!!! Absolutely gorgeous Jaguar!! I love all the wood trim and how it wraps around the dash!! This is my dream car!!😍😍
Thank you for the support! The wood trim is one of my favorite parts! Stay tuned!
If you could open your sunroof, you’d see you probably have rust in the sunroof track. Only non-aluminum piece on the car.
You may also want to replace/ update the routing of your coolant lines when you replace the water pump. They changed the routing in ~2016. Far fewer issues with the newest setup.
Good points I will keep that in mind
What did they re rout ? The coolant lines ? Was it the coolant lines that are behind the motor .
My wife just purchased this same model and year from hergood friend. I TOLD HER that her "friend" hadn't disclosed REMOTELY ALL OF THE ISSUES WITH THE CAR. She got a great price. But the total cost of repairing repairing just the most serious issues is more than the blue book value value of the vehicle. That is just the facts.
I have got my jaguar Xj L 2010 diesel with 400.000 Km with original engine and everything is working fine, all options works. It's all about the maintenance.
This is like every other luxury car tbh. I like the baseball bat by the front seat😂
That’s the point lol and I’m glad you like it.
2017 xjr 3,600 miles daily driver no problems love it,!!
60,000 miles with a driver's seat looking like that, my guess is that it has been clocked, the mileage is incorrect,, thanks for posting the video, it gives what to look out for if buying..
the tough lesson of buying the first model year of any car.. great car though
That’s true. When possible always avoid first year models!
@@XJLuxury I seen a good deal on a 2009 Infiniti G37 sport awd do you think I should avoid it
Hey I have a 2015 F-Type R and the mirror fell off when I tried to fix it the windshield cracked I had it replaced by safelite auto glass they came to my house they had to order it from Jaguar cost me about 500.00. And just a side note if your going to replace your water pump don't forget there's a plastic piece that's behind the water pump, also you may as well replace the front coolant y-pipe and the rear coolant cross over pipe there both made of a two piece plastic pipe that's been welded together they always start to leak at the seams and where it mounts, also there's a plastic coupler in the supercharger snout that will break I heard there's better after market part for that one. All of these things I mentioned are for either the v6 or v8 supercharged engines, my car I bought used with 23000 mi about 5yrs ago it now has 32000 so I haven't had any problems so far but I'm preparing for the inevitable haha, I figure if I gotta go in and fix one thing may as well fix em all at once. Enjoy your beautiful ride aloha from Hawaii.
Considering you bought an insurance write off, I suppose it's only to be expected you have issues. I'm looking at one of these for my next car (main dealer with 12 months warranty hopefully) so thanks for the heads up on potential problems.
Yes this was an insurance write off but the accident had nothing to do with 90% of the issues I mentioned. I was just showing how this particular car has held up. Congratulations on your new car!
@@XJLuxury Maybe what he meant was, it has been through the hands of insurance and I'm assuming insurance auctions. Those people generally don't care to treat the car the way a caring owner would treat it.
I am buying one next week, this video is scary, but I love this car so much (especially in white) whatever comes I will deal with it!
Be happy that the engine, the Transmission and the back Suspension still work.
The Rest is just cosmetic.
2x back Suspension kostet 1800Euro.
For my Passat CC i paid 33Euro for two. Lol
I am happy lol
I have had Jaguars since 26 yrs old...no other cars...NEVER HAVE I EVER SEEN OF EXPERIENCE ANY OF THIS...so strange. Even my 2006 is still in extraordinary condition and has held up. My 2016 XJL and all other models I have owned were amazing and well built. I would not consider this video when buying a Jaguar. My sons 2017 XF also has never had issues....Could this be a compeditor video ??? Just sayin....
No competitor video here. It all comes down to the previous owners of the vehicle and how they cared for it.
It’s the little baseball bat by the door that got me 😂😂
Lol
I have a jaguar xf 4.2 sc v8 from 2008 almost 70k miles. and al stil works like new. also inside al looks like new,
Nice
There’s an easy fix for the dome light that comes on by itself. Need to grease the connectors; there’s a video on youtube that shows you what you need to do.
Thank you I will look into that
@@XJLuxury ua-cam.com/video/Gr-PKqeTMqU/v-deo.html
Those panel gaps are indicative of a bigger punch on the nose than it might appear. If they totalled out a 30 grand car then it had more than cosmetic issues.
Insurance is required to replace any part that was involved in the accident. Even if one part just has a scratch. Also insurance can not use used parts they must be brand new from the dealer. That’s why it so easy to total out any car.
In absolute fustration on mine, I got rid of it out of my sight and found a beautiful series 3 V12 with just 20k on the clock in Japan fitted with Dayton wire wheels. Its a proper Jag, actualy a Daimler , been in a Japanese private collection all its life and its virtualy brand new . The nightmare of the previous modern XJL Jag is over and all the niggling electrical problems gone The daft styling banished for good . My series 3 is analogue and all equipment works as it should . Worst thing Jaguar ever did was to stop making the series 3 .
It’s a shame yours gave you so many issues.
In regards to your dome light coming on by itself, I had a 2013 XF that did that and I found out that the contact on the backside of the light becomes corroded. There is a kit you can buy to replace the contacts. You can also put some dielectric grease on the contacts and that will help it from corroding in the future.
I have a 2014 XJ now and the roll down works but the roll-up does not work. I'm not sure if it comes with that feature or not. But still doesn't work.
Thanks I will look into that!
Maybe ours are stuck?
Just wait 5 minutes and your sun visor will break and sag. I had to replace both sides. Not cheap and hard to find used ones that aren't also broken. The best price I could find for a new one was $800. Regardless, I'm probably keeping this car forever. 2014 XJ 5.0 SC. 114K
I had a 2010 XF and it had similar problems. Just about all of them were due to a front collision by previous owner. Lot's of the interior bits and parts just "crack loose" when the car hits something hard.
I love how you have it in original condition, no tacky styling with dark windows! You drive with class!
Thank you 😎
Some of that damage is misuse and neglect.
Your washer bottle leak probably stems from the frontal impact so you can't blame that on Jag !
A friend has done 300k in one of these and has had none of your issues ⚠️
Very informative all the same 👍✅
My car also does not raise the windows when you lock but does lower when holding unlock. I believe it is by design depending on the geographic location the car came from. Both my exhaust clamps broke last week :)
I believe it’s regulated as well and wow luckily you caught it!
The overall wear n tear on this car suggests it’s actual Milage is closer to 100,000 miles plus, not 60,000 as suggested. It also looks like it’s been neglected and badly maintained regardless of the front end accident. The good exterior condition does not match the poor interior condition. I suspect the car is hiding a dubious history but at the end of the day it’s a Jaaag so enjoy 😊
It's a salvage, a heavy shunt is the reason all those things have been weakened and have broken. Very misleading video if, like I did, you initially missed the point that it's a salvage car.
It's funny this is a salvaged vehicle because I'm bidding on one from a salvage auction. These are beautiful cars, but I'm not paying all that money for something I know how to get cheaper. Good video and good luck with the car.
Yeah man you got the right idea. These people on here who come in saying that my car is messed up because it’s salvaged have no idea that 99% of what is wrong with my car has nothing to do with it being in a fender bender. Good luck
OK....I bought a 2016 XJ 3.0 D two years ago with 160K KLM.....not one issue as of yet....we keep it in a garage and as we are older we dont really drive it to its full potential though
If you own a Jaguar or any car, TLC is what it needs. I own a X-351 2012, and I can park it next to a 2022 and the only difference will be the updates to the 2022. As to condition, my matches the 2022 100% as new. Like I said TLC will bring your car to condition that you want. Don't complaint, just fix it. A new Jaguar or any car will have issues as any old car. Jaguar is a great car! Better than Mercedes and others.
True
Fix your brakes. That's the most important break to fix. Next time you drive, you're going to slide clean off the planet
Good point man
Lol
My goodness, that is a lot of tings broken or worn out. I have an XJL 2011 and I have som other issues, perhaps I should make a video of my issues? Thanks for the informative round-up. Kind of sad to see such a performance car with so many issues. Your car is not old either!
Honestly people take this video wrong. Yes there are a lot wrong with it but it’s not as bad as people would think for a jaguar. I meant for it to change peoples minds for the better
That's why you shouldn't buy a car that's been an accident. He failed to mention that, he was just so happy to get the car for half of the regular price, with only 60,000 miles. Some of the stuff were minor issues, but I understand how he wants everything original, because I'm the same way. I was taught to NEVER BUY A CAR THAT'S BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT! Try not to buy a car over 100,000 miles. A lot of foreign cars can last over 100k, but always check the car fax regardless. Try to buy from a dealership. If the previous owner couldn't take care of the exterior, just think about the interior is going to be. Just some food for thought. This guy may have gotten a good deal, but all of the money that he'll constantly have to keep dumping into the car, it'll be better off getting one without those problems. You get what you pay for. I have a 2013 xjl, with 104,000 miles, and my mechanic thought it was a 2020 because of the condition it's in, and I've only had to change the coolant reservoir hose. I'm knocking on wood after typing that 🤞🏾.
I have a 2015 xf with 50k mls and looks and feels brand new, door locks a common issue but can be fixed by yourself in an afternoon for cheap. Americans really do seem to get ripped off with car work and parts, headlights for my xf new can be found in the UK for approx £450 same for the XJ. Never seen a rear screen go tbh looks like it could have wacked from the inside? That looks like it was totally used and really abused. Probably horrible kids yanking and pulling bits lol
Yeah what you say is very true and lol it was probably from kids
Mines is 8years old 120k miles and only the inlet manifolds £££ and one tpms have broke.
Wow that’s great
Never seen a car with 60k miles look so bad. Even a Fiat would hold up better. I was seriously thinking of getting one of these 🤷♂️
You misunderstood the point of my video. The point of my video was to show you that these cars hold up better than people say. These are normal wear and tear items and some of them are just due to mechanical faults or the way the previous owner treated the vehicle.
XJLuxury Yeah I get you tbf mate. Cool vid.
thanks for showing us all your XJ
You’re welcome
@@XJLuxury its great!!
I have a 2010 just clicked over to a100k and nothing wrong perfect in all ways.
I’m happy to hear that
Love your Glacier on Biscuit!
Best color combination..
Appreciate this detailed analysis as I weigh a CPO '16 XJ vs CPO '16 XF..
Glacier on Biscuit. I have never heard that saying to describe a color combination before and I love it haha. Thank you.
Love to see a vid on the Salvage process and your XJ!
I will make a video on that soon!
The big problem with Jaguars and a lot of other high end luxury cars is that if you want all the toys and gadgets they have and total reliability they would have to be priced at double or treble what they actually retail for when new. At their current prices new, they all end up with a litany of problems and are designed to last their warranty period.
That is true with almost any high end luxury car. You need to pay to play.
Use wd 40 or lithium grease for the arm rest . Mine used to do the same thing . But now it’s fine .
Thank you I will try that out and let you know!
Your seat is having issues because the bat
Is small on one end and larger on the other
The motor is fighting with the bat..😂
Lol I wish
Great Video! SUBSCRIBED! I was planning to buy a 1-owner 2013 XJL Portfolio for 12K. After watching your video I'm having 2nd thoughts.
I'm going to buy a xjl tomorrow but now I will rethink about it.
Do not second guess yourself. You are making a good decision. These items are fixable and may not even be an issue on the one you get .
@@XJLuxury Thanks to let me know. And thank you for make video of the car with details. I will go to see the car and test it.
Nice slap stick on the side of that drivers seat . I have one too
WOW... Is that a baseball bat near the drivers seat?... In the UK you would be in BIG trouble for carrying an offensive weapon if you were stopped by the Police
I use it to play baseball :) Also America has very different laws! In some places its like the wild west over here!
My sunroof stopped working as well. Im a big UA-cam guy who learned how to fix most things on my xjl because the dealership is a no no in most cases. I learned how to do my breaks, rotors and control arms since they wanted around $2,200 now my headlight went out and it sucks that I have to remove the entire bumper just to replace a bulb. But hey its a sexy car so 🤷 😏 kinda like women wearing heels! Sexy but definitely not pleasant.
That’s very true. You need to do a lot of things yourself with this car if you want to save a lot of money!
This is why you don't buy a redesigned car until a few years after production.
Generally this is a good point.
I own a 2011 Jag XJ Supercharged now pushing 110,000 miles. No major problems but I have experienced a few of what you've shown. If you decide to replace the windscreen trim, it will need to be installed by the dealer otherwise you'll break the pins that hold it to the rubber molding. They have a special tool to do the job. My rear window screen does not work anymore and it looks like a job I don't want to tackle and I can live without it as I have window tinting. The center console was a fairly easy fix. You can find used ones on ebay and install it your self, but I had my audio specialists pull the old on and install and new one. I threw in the towel on trying to glue that rubber piece back on the key fob. The dealer has to code it even if you find a used one. The Arizona heat and sun caused cracking on all of my wood trim. Ebay to the rescue again and I found a near new entire set of OEM carbon fiber trim for a huge savings. Again, I had my audio pros pull the old trim - including the two long dash pieces and replaced them with the carbon fiber. It looks so much better. While the guys were pulling the trim, I had them replace all the heat damaged speakers in all four doors. Sounds like new now. Finally, I had the driver's seat re-foamed by an independent shop in Scottsdale. Ebay is your friend with this car...but what a car.
Wow thanks for the information. I will look into a lot of what you told me. Also congratulations on your 110k mile XJ!
This is a really good looking car indeed but when it comes to repairs and long term reliability, Jaguar sometimes doesn't hold up as much as its other rivals but still your car in the white colour looks absolutely bomb dude, keep maintaining it nicely, anyways be safe out there during these times, cheers!!
Thanks man for the complements! So far it’s been a very reliable car. I’m going to make a video on reliability soon!
@@XJLuxury Oh okay then great man!, can't wait to watch it then!
After watching this video i was planning to change my 2011 s class to xj for that sporty feeling but that ia gone now anyways i have heard 2014 onwards jaguar updated the xj with new aluminium sunroof and other parts etc rest i don't know but they are no such problems with the s class only problem you is the front airmatic shocks if somehow you forget to turn down the raised suspention and go high somewhere on hills or even getting on a ramp the shockers will blast like a tyre blast noise and you are stuck so the dealer told me this car is ment to driven on straight roads even park it straight...🤔
The Jaguar has been very reliable for me
Look at the size of those parking bays!
The center console glove box just pull the latch out and it will close
So I’ve been searching around for a bit now for a video of the Xj where they put up the sunroof and show how it looks from like far away, you think you might be able to do that sometime? Btw I’m a big fan haha, I’ve probably watched all your videos 3 times over, keep it up👍
Thanks for the support! I would totally do that on mine but my screen is broken on it. I can do it on my frends though!
XJLuxury that would be awesome thanks👍 and thank you for taking the time to answer!
positive comment
17 xjr beeps with windows down Push one end of button 2 close
In addition for the sunroof rattle a very good fix so I'm told is smother all the rails and everything you can reach in Vaseline.
A rear screen isn't suppose to have that. I would understand if it was the windscreen . Yes please contact them see if they'll fix the rear screen free coz it's their fault. Thanks for the video. Im going to buy me one too 3.0 v6 petrol 2012 or 2013 model.
Good luck with your purchase!
I saw a lot of dust on that console. Also I see you carry a mini baseball bat by your seat…road rage?
I have an 8 year old XF.. the only problem, okay it's not a problem but it's something I don't like is that switching to high beam it's a bit clunky.. maybe you should get an xf lol
All cars wear and age different based on many factors.
a good plastic lubricant is spray food grade silicon.
That’s for the information!
i hope all these problems are gone with 2016 XJL portfolio. I just booked one Certified Pre-owned one u know am hoping and praying that it turns out to be a good life experience and not a lemon.
Most issues were solved in the 2016 models. You will be purchasing an amazing car
@@XJLuxury aww dude thankyou so much for those wonderful wishes my man!! really tyvm.
i will be posting some questions to you soon
luv u bro.
My guy has a bat in the seat if you look closely, but great video. I have a Toyota Corolla and I have a feeling of buying a XJ.
Haha I am a huge Toyota and Lexus fan also. It’s a big upgrade.
Sorry to say this but Jaguar aint what they used to be.Theyve lost the classic looks,the interiors are dire and sounds like the reliability hasnt improved at all.Heartbreaking because the back catalogue of Jaguar is stunning.Hope they can turn it round....
They couldn’t keep the classic look. Times have changed. My Jaguar has been reliable. They have been doing very well in my opinion
Its funny how you said “aint what they used to be” in a negative way, bruh jaguar was another name for shitty car back in the 90th
@@mrlebanon6055 bro..say it again..
Mine even the rear vanity mirrors broke. At first I thought leave it nobody uses them anyways. Wrong, because they keep flapping and the sound was irritating. Had it replaced at $350 a pair. Ridiculous.
That’s crazy!
Wow...alot of Jaguar owners claimed these cars weren't that bad.Claimed problems were greatly exaggerated. So I was considering getting one. But after this?!? Hell naw. That is poor build quality. These cars cost way too much money to be failing parts under 100,000. Stop blaming the owners. I had a 2019 Nissan Maxima almost 200,000 everything original. That is $38000 car...nothing but oil changes and a wheel alignment
I was considering buying an XJ, but I probably should pick up a BMW instead :)
Please don’t
@@XJLuxury sorry, too late
How’s this handle winters in NY?
Since this is a real wheel drive vehicle, it handles the winter weather horribly. I do not use this vehicle in the rain or the snow. however, if this was the all-wheel-drive version, then it would be perfectly fine with no issue.
What's the bat for?
Miniature baseball.
Want something that will blow your mind for your car? Get the PERFORMANCE EXHAUST SYSTEM BY MINA GALLERY, the sound is magical you won't care about the speakers. Sadly, the auto sound BS is disabled from being turned off, and we all suffer.
bro after watching this I don't even want to buy one .. I was about to ... not anymore :(
This video is meant to show that the car holds up much better than people say it does. Don’t base your decision off this video they are excellent cars.
@@XJLuxury I agree but the slow response to the touch screen and the sticky button ..... I don't know man...
Is the door actuator a common problem? The Jaguar service dept. told me that 3 of mine are going bad. There should be a recall! I have a 2015 XJL. 🤷🏽♀️
Not that I know of. That’s crazy that 3 of them are going. Don’t count on a recall.
XJLuxury ikr...it’s rare for Jaguar to recall.
Shocked to see how much is broken. Shouldn’t Jaguar repair most on warranty?
They should on the glass but they won’t. Unfortunately the car is over 10 years old.
@@XJLuxury Didn’t realize it’s that old. Makes sense.
Looks like the car is treated like cr@p. I loved the way you talked about the rear window crack that was subject to manufacture defect and an ‘internal flaw’ in 2006 🤣. Funny how the first version left the factory in 2009!!! I drive a 2012 XJL with 86k miles. It looks loads better than this crap. Your steering play is probably due to the broken control arm. And that’s broken cause it had a front end smash. The liner in the hood is falling off cause the hood was bent in the smash. It looks like it’s had a new left wing cause the bolts are new and unpainted. And worst of all you drive with a baseball bat next to your seat. That tells me that me a lot about the driver...........
Just because the flaw was mentioned in 2006 does not mean it doesn’t apply to future vehicles. The hood liner is falling off all over the place which was in no way related to the accident that slightly bent the hood at one corner. Every car she’s differently based on location and previous owners.
XJLuxury But it still doesn’t explain how there could possibly be a ‘reported flaw’ in a car that was not even in production. You make no sense. The announcement of the car production was 3 years after you claim the flaw was reported. I’ve seen an XJL with 254000 miles in better condition than yours.
Sorry to say but that looks quite a grubby neglected example !
Some folk seen to ruin a car within 3 years.
Some of these cars have done 300k miles and still look mint ⚠️
I’ll stick to my x350
Hey man great video I'm looking into buying this car and wanted to know if you made the maintenance and reliability video because I didn't see it on your page
Hi! I did not make that video yet. I will be working on it soon!
If you want to know some about that car ask me Apple scruffs motor mounts upper control arms sway bar links down upper down lower control arm don't bet it car I got one right now you can bad it looks so pretty on the outside looks so pretty in the inside low miles high 17 to 15000
Is there a aftermarket maintenance policy that can be purchased to remedy these kind of problems. ASAP!
Yes there are some companies that offer it
Replace the washer fluid tank. Otherwise the washer fluid will leak onto the electronics of the car and make it much much worse. This is a common issue. Otherwise Many other electronic issues will manifest themselves. Good luck!
Wow I’ll look into replacing the washer fluid tank I didn’t think of that. Thanks for the heads up!
Hmmm I was thinking to buy 2016 3.0 portfolio. Any something that I know more about that? Especially the maintenance..
Well I can tell you at the maintenance on my 2011 5.0 naturally aspirated has been very minimal however I don’t drive it that much.
