What's the highest mileage you've ever seen on an XJ?
Mine, with 222,000 miles👌
300k running strong on my friend car
230k on my xj8 2004 and I figure out what kills this cars..
@@fernandomendoza8202 what kills it? Looking to get one.
@@tonyt1769 did you end up getting one
My all-time favorite Jaguar. I wish they were still producing them in this body style.
Agree. I much prefer this style over the redesign that followed
It was Jag saloon perfection I’d have to say! Cheers
I am the very proud owner of a 2009 Portfolio just like this one. It had 20K miles when I bought it and I thought I would cry when it rolled over 40K. It is such a joy to drive you just can't help yourself. I have replaced all the air suspension. Don't feel too bad considering the sticker was $118K. Thank goodness I didn't pay that. I'll never part with it.
Sounds like a beauty!
Finest saloon ever made.
think I've seen it in mv area and north bx
What a wank review
I have an 09 xj with 140k miles. Had the CATS air suspension deleted. Rides like a dream. In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful cars ever made by jaguar. Even with the few problems they do have I believe they're still worth going after if you find one.
Probably a good idea deleting CATS. They are wonderful cars!
Such a gorgeous car… Classy, nostalgic, and STILL modern looking…
It's no wonder they kept that design language for so long. Timeless
Literally my dream car
That V8 is truly something special. Follow your dreams!
I'm 19, I bought a salvaged 2008 xj8L last year on my birthday.
It wouldn't go over 40mph and would overheat if you turned the AC on.
I've completely rebuilt the car from the ground up and I've got a ford cobra supercharger sitting in the boot.
Going on a year now, and still going strong, I aim to finish this car and add the modern quality-of-life features majority of cars have on the road today. (Backup cam, bluetooth, android Auto etc) it's been a journey, an expensive one, but any dream is a dream nonetheless, aim for it!
Andrew Meszaros that sounds incredible and quite an emotional roller coaster but in the end it’s all worth it!!!
@@Baochaotao
Got an instagram ?
Interested following the progress.
3rd gen XJ is my dream car.
@@stevenbaker9559 @Baochaotao putting pics up soon!
I have a 2005 XJ8L, 169K miles and still running strong. 5000K up keep and repairs in 15 yrs is amazing. I will keep it till it dies...and still looks new.
Beautiful! Sounds like you know what you're doing!
you got instagram? I wanna see that baby!!
Still looks better than any modern luxury sedan
It's definitely a classic design
I miss my 07, sold it last year with 60k miles. Lunar gray metallic. It was in immaculate condition :(
@@michaelbuffington4047 sounds like a great car. Perhaps you'll reunite with one someday!
I've had an 08 for 3 years, swapped the air suspension for coil overs, and after that the car has been bulletproof. I'm tracking at 148,000 miles with no problems. Everything works.
The $1000 brake job kinda sucked though, but that's any eurocar.
Probably a good call with the coilovers. From what I hear, once the air suspension is sorted, the rest of the car is more reliable than most would think
Superb engine- braking saves my brakes.
If you do the brakes yourself you could have saved a lot.
Great video! Stunning car. I have a 2006 Super V8 Portfolio in Black Cherry and I love her. Extremely reliable and amazing to drive!
Thanks! Sounds like a great spec you've got there
I used to work at Jaguar Land Rover in my early 20's as a tech, had a chance to scoop one of these up and boy do I now wish that I did. Got talked out of it cause it was "unpractical" for a young guy to own one of these... They're classic.
They're pretty cheap to buy these days. It's not too late!
But remember...you werent lied to
They are impractical
But boy are they gorgeous
Dude you deserve more subs loved the shots! Fr ngl
Thanks! Slowly but surely my sub count rises
nice video buddy,jags lover here and u earn my like !!!
Cheers
They were doing amazing stuff with paint at Jaguar on those cars. I have one of 16 Prism blue 2008 XJLs Like mermaid scales.
That sounds really awesome! I can't say I've ever seen the color, but if there's only 16 of them, I bet it's really something special
My X308 Super V8 got Emerald Green, what I have read , 8 layer Paint.
So when dark /cloudy the Car looks Blue, but in sunshine ...Sparkling dark Green !
PS. The air suspension has never given me a ounce of trouble and using only Jaguar only fluids and buying my own parts through wholesalers is the secret.
Well worth the money then
Thanks for the interesting video! I love Jags...)
Jaaags
They're very nice cars when they work!
Looking nice.
Thank you.
My tray table latch has broken mystically. Any websites you recommend for me to buy a replacement part....I have this exact car and I love it. Took me years to find a great one for sale....
Ebay
very majestic and presidential , i own an s type from 2005 , its pretty similar....
Yeah, kind of like a mini XJ in a way
Dang, that's a nice car!!!
I have a 2004 Jaguar xj8 230k miles leaking everything but give me 30 mpg
On the freeway because of the tuning and parts it has.. 70k miles driven in 2 years for 6k was money well spent
As long as it gets you where you need to go!
@@HighMileageReviews there is no issues with the car it’s just the pan that’s was not a great design and I’m about to fix it and a plastic coolant part that’s I will replace
Ah, air suspension on older cars. I remember an older E-class that had it at a mechanic's shop where I was working. The front bags were fine, but the back looked like it was #stancelyfe
If I had a nickel for every slammed, old mercedes I've seen sitting in a driveway haha
Beautiful car
Like no other mass produced ' square box
The design has certainly stood the test of time.
Nice video on my all-time favourite car. Despite the old "dictionary defines" cliché😉
I'm definitely the first person to ever come up with that joke. Absolutely 100%. I'm completely original all the time 🙃
Brilliant car indeed
Indeed
İdc bugattis ferrari lamborghini bentley mercedes etc. Only this car for me a car man. Handsome,have a cool muscle style, quality and tons things
Couldn't have said it better myself
How is 29000 miles high on an 11 year old car? - my xjr made it to 14 years and 120 000 miles without replacing anything
It was more a joke than anything. I just wanted to review my friend's nice XJ for the channel! It is very low mileage and well taken care of
The best XJ
I agree!
Was owned by Ford but manufactured in England must say entirely. My 2009 Xjr was owned by tata motors then by me. Interesting video none the less.
Thanks! And yeah, Jag's ownership history has taken quite an interesting path over the years
Is this car for sale ? I am interested
Beautiful 😍
❤❤❤❤
👍💯💯
Perfect looking car. A stunner. The hood ornament doesn't belong to this model though.
The Jaguar USA marketing team even advertised with one... czcams.com/video/1RyQCPmvnLM/video.html I would agree with your comment on anything later than this car..
I actually think this is one of the few modern jags that can pull off the bonnet leaper
I've 2008 358. Why it has no airlift control :/ when it snows hard I clean the road by my bumpers
Would have been good to have some audio of the engine/exhaust & "live" driving. You've missed the point of what this car is actually about.
The best of British
One of the finest
New videos plz
A British Buick. I want one.
I don't know of any modern Buicks with luxury like this car
@@HighMileageReviews Which is why I bought a 2006 XJ8 VDP LWB, 4.2. Mine is on coil-overs, has 81,000 miles, a very nice car. I live in the US, the car was originally imported to Canada so has a metric speedo, I could do without that.
My 2008 XJ SUPERV8 has 222,000 miles # DFW TX
Now that's truly remarkable! Keep it up. You just might have one of the highest mileage XJ's around
I like your style! However, how is this a third generation XJ, as the third generation XJ (series III) was from the 80's? Then came the XJ40, X300, X308, etc.. blabla😁
Wow, major slip-up on my part haha I'm not actually sure why I said that...I think I had a stroke somewhere along the line when writing my script. Good catch!
@@HighMileageReviews It happens to the best😉
@@MotorScotti This is the third generation. Series 1,2, and 3 (gen 1) XJ40, X300, and X308 (gen 2). Then X350/X358 and I would argue the X351 would be in this group as Gen 3.
I could only wish.
If you dislike this video, I bet you also mispronounce Jaguar
JAGWARRRR
is it for sale?
No
Who ruined the bonnet? Sir William Lyons only put leapers on specific cars.
Ruined? Leapers were offered on the XJ for decades, and the body style hasn't changed much over the years. I think it's still appropriate. This car most likely had it installed by the dealer since leapers were discontinued as a factory option by the time this car was in production. Now a leaper on a newer, less boxy Jag like the X351 or XF, yuck...
@HighMileageReviews Nah, not for me. I see them planted on Jags that they just don't suit. Now the MK2, that's a different story.
On a 420G 👌
Last of the classic look an automobile
Yes, the XJ design after this era just doesn't quite live up to this classic style
I am the proud owner of 3 jags,xjr s type r and a xkr ,best cars on the road
its available
No
No Walnut?
Guess not
Walnut burr matched car sets, were the standard fit in these cars, this example must have had one of the other options available.
Also not enough Prius in this video. More Prius next time please.
Sorry. Nobody wants to see that
Hi,can get me one 2009
Maybe
Very nice! Now lift that beautiful body up off the frame and take a look at the rust......
There hopefully wouldn't be any considering this car has never been driven in winter. Heck, I'd be surprised if it was driven in the rain
Rust? It is an all aluminium body!
clueless doofus detected
You're from michican? We have a ton of jags, high mileage xjr and xk8/R. Welcome to come shoot a video if you ever like.
Car was just registered in Michigan, but if I'm ever over there, I'll remember this
Aluminium! Hoorah!! Well pronounced sir, in just the way your founding fathers spelled it! Cheers
I try my best
Blowing cold air when set to hot part... What gives 😤
Just a joke about british electronics
?
NO COMMENT
But that IS a comment
low mileage cars are overrated. better to buy a high mileage car that has had most things sorted out and a clean service history.
That's what this channel is here to prove!
X350/358 is kinda like a MB E Klasse /BMW 5 Series .
X308 is like a MB S Klasse / BMW 7 Series .
lol 🤡💇🏻♂
Portfolio "a large, thin, flat case for loose sheets of paper such as drawings or maps." HAHAHA!!!
Yeah haha not sure where they came up with that name
That's quite a bit of miles for a jag. Anytime it is off warranty, you are in the danger zone!
That's true for any luxury car. Better have some cash reserves at the ready!
That's very little miles for these beauties. These reliable V8 engines are capable of very high mileage. Highest mileage one on sale right now in the UK has 350k+
@@SirMrShanks That's crazy! I haven't seen any with that sort of mileage in the states. Perhaps the Brits take better care of their Jags haha
@@HighMileageReviews Haha Yeah they are good reliable cars bar the suspension. Most XJR drivers over here are older gentlemen so they aren't really thrashed to their full capability
Keep getting off on your own bollox
