What Owners are Saying About the 1998 Jaguar XJ
"I love my car!"
"I have owned this car for 9 years and it has been easy on the budget considering I have put 105,000 miles on it since I bought it. I feel safe, eligant and and comfortable driving it. I have owned several Jaguars, and I can't think of owning anything else."
"My last car..."
"I will keep this car as long as I can drive. Easy and inexpensive to maintain and economical to drive. Many newer models may have more electronics and the new, but common European design; this model has all the indispensable equipment and will always retain its classic appearance."
"Really a Spa Car"
"Purchased from the single owner, I thought maybe I had paid too much at $28,000 for a 2002 XJ8. But, it only had 10K miles! And it was the color I wanted. And it was my 50th birthday present to myself. What the heck, I bought it because I've always wanted a Jag. Boy, am I glad I did. What a sweet car. Good job, Ford, never thought you could make an English luxury car better. If there was a massaging seat I'd never have to visit my spa again. God is good."
