Thinking of buying the 2012 Jaguar XK?
No 2012 Jaguar XK is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2012 Jaguar XK, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
The figures, translated
Power: the 5.0L 8-cylinder; drive: rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
By the EPA's combined rating of 12.8 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 38 litres. Driving 300 km costs roughly $67.20 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,450 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
A good match for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
What the XK is like
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. In plain terms, its 283 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Try the XK on your commute, then decide. Rent the XK for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the XK is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Which one to look for
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $224 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Over to you
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2012 Jaguar XK from us first.
