Cared for, they last

Bought from dealership owner at 2,220 miles. It’s at 350,000 4/22. Love this car. Always best of required care. 26 mpg at 80 mph. Issues today. Oil issues and tech issues. Might be at a crossroad. May will tell. 400,000 not a goal but 2024 is. Use is 6-7,000/yr. We’ll see.

It's been flawless

I still think as I did in 2004, it's one of the most beautiful cars ever even as a sedan/saloon. Technology is old though. Navigation is just for fun to watch. My cell phone does better. No blue tooth. The supercharger screams. It's plenty fast even by 2021 standards. The leather is gorgeous. I changed the transmission fluid @ 80K. No dipstick as it's "for life" but that's BS. I just got a second car to keep the mileage low. It's a collectible to me at least being 17 years old.

2004 XJR is an incredible car

Rides better than most benz's and BMW's. Fantastic power 400 HP super charged. The frame and body is all Aluminum, will never rust! Beautiful classic and modern design combination. Will surely be a collectable.

Constant head turner, amazing ride and power

This model is one of the most beautiful cars for the money, extremely fast, luxurious and reliable. However insurance and parts are expensive. Probably because it was $76,000.00 new. All Aluminum chassis. Rare Classic most defiantly!

No mechanical issues what so ever

This Vehicle has all the features you need with incredible comfort looks and plenty of horse power. Handles very well on country roads and loves the highways.

Most graceful, powerful car I have ever wanted!

As Sir William Lyons insisted his cars must have 'grace' mine has that and thrusting power and quiet when you want it to be. Races up and down hilly bends in a most admirable and powerful way, holding on to the tightest corners like a barnacle on a boat. One of the best cars I have ever owned!

BEST USED CAR I'VE PURCHASED

This is my second 2004 XJR and that is only because I purchased a low mileage one previously and it was too expensive to be a "fun times only" car. My second one now has 83k miles (4k miles in past 5 years) and has always been a great car. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one tomorrow.

Great daily driver

Tons of power and very decent handling for a car of this size and level of luxury. Timeless and beautiful interior. Very comfortable ride and a quite interior. Very fast and more fun to throw around than most midsize or larger cars.

EXCELENT PERFORMANCE -400HP!!!

YOU DON'T NEED AN OTHER SEDAN FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. IT HAS COMFORT, LUXURY AND POWER. ENGINE IS SUPERCHARGED WHICH I THINK IS BETTER THEN TURBO. VERY UNDERRATED CAR! UNFORTUNATELY IS VERY RARE, BUT IF YOU FIND ONE BUY IT! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!
