The 2003 Jaguar X-Type for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2003 Jaguar X-Type for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2003 Jaguar X-Type, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 72 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, tires and air bags; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The figures, translated
The 2.5L 6-cylinder is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
Plan on about 35 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 11.8 L/100 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $206.50 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
What the X-Type is like
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. With 453 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.
Try before you buy
A test week in the X-Type tells you more than any review. A week with the X-Type answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Year and trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.65 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
