Hi all,

I’m currently looking into buying a Jaguar X-type. I know there are several issues I need to be aware off when looking into potential cars, such as corrosion of the sills on the models prior to the 2004 facelift and that it’s probably better to get a manual then automatic transmission.

I currently spotted a 2003 X-type with low mileage and was wondering if I should run away from it or if I should seriously consider it when it doesn’t show signs of corrosion. Are there options to prevent rust from becoming an issue on the models before 2004?

Also, are there any other vital points I should inspect prior to purchase?

Thank you for any helpful tips.
