I just took the plunge and bought a 2014 XJL with 11k miles! I have been looking at the XJ for over a year and was just waiting to find the right car, right price, right color and right options. It finally came up! I was hoping I could join this forum to get tips and advice for my Jaguar. I do have a question:

1. Is there someplace I can get a reprint of the original window sticker, or at least what options the car originally came with? Is an option (RPO) list in the car somewhere?

Thanks all!

If you Google topix.jaguar, register and input your vin number, you will get a printout of all the original features for your car at the time of manufacture. Hope this helps.

Ah nuts you reminded me I will have to get the font license plate mount my state requires a front plate as well. So much for clean lines! I does look good too!

That topix site is pretty good I think I see my options it isn't that clear I suspect this site was designed for dealers. I'm not sure how to interpret some of them.

Does this list my actual options?

It does list everything that has been fitted to your car (or not 'LESS') but I'm unsure as to what every line means (CCR??). Someone else here may be able to decipher.

One things for sure, the steering wheel has been put on the wrong side :mrgreen:......

Yes we have the wheel on the wrong side by we drive on the right side of the road!

So does it say it has adaptive headlights (they steer around corners I think)? Does it have the lighted sill plates? I ask because I literally JUST bought this car and it is being shipped to me 2400 miles across the country and I don't have it yet. The dealer was not a Jaguar dealer so knew little about the actual car.

Also what does "TELEVISION" mean? Does that just refer to the front in-dash radio display?

Yes. Pretty sure you have 'bending' headlights with high beam assist. You have the illumination pack which is vents and tread plates in cool blue. Unsure about television as it says 'less television receiver'. Maybe it means you can only watch dvd or usb media. But it might just less for rear seats only and available in front screen.

Hey guys I am curious what you would pay for this car in Great Britain. I paid $43k US or @ 34k pounds.

There is a 2014 SWB Portfolio 3.0 SC petrol advertised in autotrader uk from a main dealer, with 7800 miles for ÂŁ38k.
 
#11 ·
Thanks for the sanity check! I thought I got a great deal in this. Had it been where I live, it would have been easy $10k more.

Many of your spec codes are obvious if you think about them, but here are some of the less obvious ones:

2ND ROW READING LAMPS = rear LED roof lamps
ADAPTIVE BI-XENON H/LMP NAS = adaptive headlamps (with cornering lamps)
AIR PURIFIER SENSOR = turns on recirc air if smog is detected
AUTO DIP FRT/RR HIGH BEAM AST = automatic high beam assist
BRANDED SOUND SYS (L3) = the top-level sound system
CNTRL LCKNG PWR LCK LTCH/CINCH = soft close doors
DR TRIM PNL-EXTENDED LEATHER = extended leather pack to doors
DRVR PWR FRE/AFT/HGHT/TILT/EXT and LMBR SEAT-4 WAY ADJT BLSTR DRV = top-level front seats
GARAGE DOOR OPENER (NAS) = Homelink
H.D. RADIO AND SDARS - Sirius radio (need to buy the subscription)
HTD/P-FOLD/MEM/A-DIM/APP.LIGHT = top-level mirrors
I/P ILLUMINATED VENTS = blue illuminated air vents front and back
SIDE DR TRDPLT-ILLUMINATED = blue illuminated treadplates to doors (and usually the trunk)
SPEED CONTROL = standard (non-adaptive) speed control
STARTER - STOP/START SYSTEM = stop/start feature
TELEVISION together with LESS TV RECEIVER = touch screen but no tuner

LESS COLLISION MITIGATION SYS = No adaptive speed control
LESS DUAL VIEW SCREENS = single view (high res) screen
LESS HEADPHONES-REAR and LESS ICE NOISE REDUC-WHITEFIRE = no whitefire headphones (only specced with dual-view or rear seat entertainment options)
LESS REAR HEATED SEAT = flagged because the rear seats are dual heated/cooled instead

I got the Jag delivered to my door on Friday morning. I am very happy with it but it has a few condition issues. It was cleaned VERY badly with I think a motorized polisher and has swirl marks in a few places. The body itself seems perfect no dents, door dings or anything of that kind at all. A friend of mine is a professional detailer and will detail the entire car for around $100. He will get it as good as it is able so I feel comfortable letting him have it for a day. It also has no owner's manual or any documentation at all that originally came with it. So I bought an entire pack off ebay for $50. Another issue I am not sure about is the hood latches. The drivers side is very firm, you cannot push down on the hood once it is latched. But the passenger's side clicks, but you can press down about an inch. Almost like it is a two stage latch and the 2nd phase isn't working. I'll have Jaguar look at that since it is under warranty. The more puzzling issue is the mismatching of wood on the interior door panels. The two rear doors and the front passenger door match - all wood grained. But the driver's door is burl and different from the other 3. Is this how it is supposed to be or has someone replaced that panel?

Anyway I took it out for around 50 miles yesterday and really am loving it!

Definitely something wrong with the driver door wood. Lovely on its own of course, in fact if it were me, I'd like all the other wood the same as that ! However something has obviously happened to cause that change.
 
#21 ·
Yeah the driver's door looks like the elm burl. There is a complete set on ebay right now for $1300. Dealers lie so I don't think I will ever find out what happened that this was replaced. Oh well.

Also the driver's door says "Meridian Surround" and the other doors just say "Meridian". I mean it isn't a mystery I doubt this came from the factory this way. Something happened to the original one. Who knows what. Could have been an accident, could have just been scratched up. Whoever fixed it put on what they had probably a salvage yard piece and I suspect not even the same year.
