Default The "Before you can own an XJ" manual

So I just referred to the "Before you can own a XJ" manual as a joke on another thread. But joking aside, i dont think that I have seen one and it may come in hand for all those that may want to purchase an XJ, but are uncertain of what they are getting into before hand. Lets just put things happen to XJ owners or stuff that all the XJ's do.

So here it is . . . The Official "Before You Buy A XJ" manual.


-If you do not like oil leaks in your drive way . . . dont buy a XJ

-If you prefer a "BMW" ride quality . . . dont buy a XJ

lets keep it going!

But ill stop now, haha, back to your manual thing.

If you dont know how to use GOOGLE SEARCH for those well worn out topics on common XJ problems dont buy a XJ

Other than that dont buy a XJ if you dont want to get the addiction to buy more.
