I have a silver 2000 XJR with 34,000 miles. I love the car. My mother in-law loves the car, it makes her feel like a queen at 90 years old. Love your content.

Ive had Jaguars for years, in my retirement I own a 1999 4 litre V8 long wheelbase Sovereign. I love it.

😀 It matches your house and the area you live in too. Understated, comfortable and looks nice, stylish and sleek, not ostentatious and garish. BRG fits well in a rural setting too.

I love that style of jaguars I have a 99 jaguar vanden plas I'm working on I saw that car wizard bought one you can't find them around here I wish I could find another one..I think you are very awesome guy I like hearing you talk about jaguars Troy..

Love the way these look and sound. So much style. My friend’s mom had this generation with flip-down wood tray tables and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. I also echo your sentiment about the “alternative” performance cars being hilarious fun and great value - I feel that way about my V70 R for sure.

This video nails the experience I've had on the head. Mines not perfect, I didn't know what it was 5 years ago, but It is the best freaking car ever. So fast, sleek and cool looking. I have twice what I payed for it in maintenance costs. its never let me down and makes me feel like a million bucks every time I'm behind the wheel. Its a black on black 2002 XJR and will be in a music video I'm releasing to the world on the "Stepper Rocks" youtube channel in the next couple months.

I have two, red and silver. Love them.

[thank, you for you're video and you're time spent.] nice, looking jaguar. I, own a 2004, jaguar x j 8 racing green. garage kept and covered. 🙏

You are so right,, great video

Love my 07 XJ6!

I love this video

Nice Car, I got the Daimler (VDP). I notice your door didn't lock, when U set transmission in Drive !

@ Troy When I was a teen in the early 1990s there was a tv show called: who’s the boss! In that show the Rich woman and mother of the house had a Jaguar and I have associated JAGS with autumn leaves ever since. Let’s say the colorful leaves of New England or the North East. So I’m glad you started this video off with the car sitting parked in Autumn Leaves. My own saying Some people ZIG And some people ZAG BUT some people they do the JAG

Because it is a very Luxurious and beautiful Old Car just like the BMW E39 ,E46, E38 , timeless Beautiful Cars

and Yes, you are right! This vid says it all. Greetings from a German XJR lover. See my dash cam on a free German Autobahn doing 120 mph + and feeling totaly relaxed.

I wish I could send a photo here of my black and silver chrome 1998 XJR

i daily drive one. Love it

I have been a Jaguar fan for 59years since my father bought a 420G in 1972. It was in British Racing Green and was absolutely awesome for an 8year old boy in the cold North of England to see and ride in this magnificent car. Since then I have owned several XJ6 Series 2's, two V12 XJS's, a V12 S3 XJ, two V6 S Types and two XJ V8's. Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Lexus are dull, bland and boring. Keep up the great Jaguar content and I will remain subbed. I am also a Land Rover fan so again, great vehicles with character not problems!

Because Richard Hammond shamed them into doing so...

Driving that car around I hope you had tweed elbow patches on that jacket of yours. Wait, is that a Volvo thing or a Jaguar thing? I can’t tell the difference. Sorry, I follow your channel for the Land Rover content, but I thought I give this Jaguar video a try and give you a little grief along the way!

Probably because they have hit rock-bottom in value and break all the time so generate lots of content in maintenance/repair videos. Source: I own an 2002 XKR convertible, 44k miles on it, so far i've had to fix leaks from the diff, gearbox, valve covers, power steering pump, octopus hose and I know some day I have to do the dreaded timing chain guides and tensioners and new O2 sensors and replace all the accessory pullies. The shock tower mount designs are garbage and had to be replaced with aftermarket PU designs made by a guy on the forums that improves the original design. Most of the suspension design, systems and drivetrain on the XJR and XKR are the same. I do wish I'd got an XJR instead because back seats are good because people can sit in them. There is an annoying high speed vibration in the steering I cannot completely fix for love nor money (bushings/alignment/high speed balance, new tires - and I really dont want to drop $$$ on new wheels for this car which btw uses a fucking weird bolt spacing and offset so there are almost no wheel packages for it), it hasnt dumped hydraulic fluid from the soft top latch on my head yet, but it will. The upside is I get to drive my 2000 miata (with $110k miles on it) a lot because the jag is so often broken and the miata just works. I know folks complain about BMWs being garbage but they are at least usually pretty solid for the first 100k miles. I love how the car looks and feels when its working but its getting to the stage where I don't really trust it to drive anywhere without embarassing me and I'm kinda done with it. So yeah they are cheap for a reason and the market doesn't lie. Old Lexuses (Lexi? Alan Partridge reference there) hold their value for a reason. Shame they are so dull. I should have bought a manual BMW GT car of some sort. Or just Supercharged the miata. So just dont forget, if you buy one of these at any mileage/age (I actually recommend getting one that has depreciated more at 100k miles - youll still need to do all this work but youll have more money left over to do so) you will need to: Do a very expensive or difficult timing chain repair. The front of the engine has to come off. all accessories belts and pullies have to come off. Replace the transmission connector o-rings and replace trans fluid watch the fuel pumps like a hawk - replacement is a pain in the bum. Change the fuel filter Most vacuum hoses are brittle plastic that have heat soaked - on the XJR, changing those is a supercharger out job. change the oil cooler lines - they are prone to break and leak after 20 years change the heater/coolant hoses rebuild the front shock mounts. Inspect the rears. Rear suspension mounts means dropping the rear subframe. Do not buy one with deferred maintenance. A 100k mile car owned by a responsible owner with a folder full of receipts who has done the majority of the above should really be considered FAR MORE than a low/mileage garage princess that hasn't. Your ideal seller will walk out to you with a crammed folder and say something like "I just want it to go to a good home". And ideally, buy one that has had the timing chains done and do a compression test before buying, especially in the UK, to check for nikasil cylinder liner damage, or get a post 2001 car. a pre-99 car should have had a NEW ENGINE from Jaguar due to that issue, so check for that in the receipts too. Im not saying don't buy one, Im just saying be wary of the hype, do your research, and be open to just not buying one at all if you can't find the "right" car. Never negotiate any deal you aren't willing to walk away from.

I'm commenting here to call myself out in a year. I currently own a blue XJ8 and a black P38. If I don't get a black XJR with Asteroid wheels, I'm a cunt. Gorgeous car. It's alarming as the more traction these car gain, the higher in price they'll go.

I think you could cross shop this against a w210 e55 and e39 m5. I did. But ultimately, I bought an xjr 100. I've had it just under 3 years. No one really started to compliment it until the past year. It gets attention from literally all types of people.

My 03 XJR is my favorite car to drive.

I always found it odd that the XJRs for the North American market had chrome window trim instead of black. Also I remember that NA XJR dont feature the CATS active suspension, is that true?

Please...it's " jag-you-ar ", not " jag-waah "

@ Troy Okay Troy my last message. I’m a bit heart broken at what mine is costing me so I want to say something nice about it. Somehow it really makes it worth it maybe. A high end British Luxury car with Italian taste and styling with a German transmission. And a little bit of American muscle. KIND OF LIKE ROCKY BELBOA IN A TUXEDO with Italian shoes and cranking German gears AND those old English chaps jackal and hide are taking turns behind the wheel. :) This car has a split personality and multi-ethnic. An English take on Italian inspiration under the control of solid German quality and precision under the free airy hands-off guidance of American sensibilities and practical classic V8 old school muscle.

It's in America so it's a Jag-wah. In England I have two Jaaags.

They’re classy supercars that are now cheap in some cases with tons of information out there. You were ahead of the curve. Some genuinely love these cars but others are just exploiting them for click fishing, and they just need content. Then the ripple effect happens where rough examples are polished, photographed, and the copy jocks at Bring A Trust Fund get the cars sold for more than they’re worth, screwing up the market.

Buy them now! 😂 while you can for a reasonable price

People need time to develop their brain and for the most it will take a while. That's why it took so long before they start to buy a Massage😉

if it dies it dies??? what ya talking about? it's just maintenance.

Land Rover or jaguar? 😊

Completely in the wrong hands. Assuming it wil be a nocksensor. Later it will become clear it was a lambdasonde when his catalic converter melt's down and then crying time begin's

My 77k mile 03 XJR is for sale.

As a UK viewer it bleeds my ears please..it's Jag-YOU-are...🥴

Can’t wait for g35s to be the hot car.

Shame about that leaper destroying the bonnet

I turned off at “jagwaaaahr”

Nice car but you are doing it a disservice by pretending you're cool by not taking care of any of the issues... FFS spend half an hour treating the rust and touching up the paint.....

My kitty cat 🐱 is in immaculate conditions just hit the clock at 100k and it looks like a brand new car out of the show room floor 🐶 2001 xjr 308 😅
