Congrats! As far as problems are concerned, I have had mine since November, and have just had to have the windshield washer leak and I had to have my rear differential opened and re-sealed. My first one (bough Aug. 11th) was bought back by Jaguar USA...LOTS of problems...I think the first bach were just duds...

Make sure you post your profile on x-typecentral.com for the world to see once you get it...:) I am local to you (Los Angeles)...still haven't seen too many X-types on the road, but I assume we'll outnumber S-Types before too long...No biggie, that's LA for you...No matter what you own, someone has something better, or rarer, so , be happy with what you got...It's a fine automobile.

Enjoy
Chris
I finally got my 2.5 X-Type today. Its Quartz, Auto, X1 Option, metallic paint, and single in-dash CD all for the great price of $33,000 (Thousand Oaks Jaguar, CA). I was able to shave off at least a couple of grand off the MSRP so I'm real ecstatic. More importantly, the drive is excellent and not much less power than the 3.0L that I coveted. I've been checking this board for a few months and I really grilled the sales and service personnel about the known problems. So far so good. No weeping windshield jets, tried the trunk locking few times, no howling and whining from the engine, but its still early...I'm really loving this car which will be our weekend car. I used to drive a BMW 325 and the Jag just blows the Beemer on the luxury and drivability factors. Besides, the Beemer was great when I was single...I'm married now with a kid...its a little different for me and my tastes...the X-Type surely fits my needs...anyways, thank you to everyone who has given us so much information and believe me, the experiences that everyone here has shared is most definitely invaluable. I'm sure in the coming days, weeks, months, or years, I will (hopefully not!) encounter some car problems, but thanks to this board, I am not alone. I will post my car pics as soon as I can get my hands off the steering wheel and get my digi camera.

BTW, the sales personnel at the dealership were very friendly, helpful, and NOT THE SNOTTY AND SNOBBY looks that I got when I tried looking at the BMWs and Mercedes Benzes. If you are in the area, call Stuart...he's great...
