'06 M35, 125,000 mi report and good bye

[edh13]

Just traded in my M35 I bought new 09/05, 125k miles (traded for a Jag XF Premium). Here’s a brief but complete maintenance history. This might help current owners know what to expect. Only one dealer repair that I can remember. All work was done by myself except for that and xmsn serv.

Reg. gas 100% - (Premium myth busted)
Oil changes every 6 -7 k, Mobile one 10-30, Fram filters.
K&N air filter clean / oil correctly every 10 - 12k. (MAF sensor myth busted)
Cabin filter – x2 (OEM)
Xmsn / diff service – x2 (Dealer)
Fr brakes – x3, rotors x2 (Aftermarket)
Rr brakes – x2, rotors x1 (Aftermarket)
Serp belt – x2 (Aftermarket)
Shocks and struts all – x1 (K&B)
Battery – x2 (Aftermarket)
Tires all – x4 (various, but always perf tires)
Driver seat rails – x1, (warranty)
Nav DVD x1
Windshield x2 (Aftermarket)

That’s it. Never had a “insert-miles-here dealer invented scheduled service”.
No plugs, hoses, brake fluid change, rad flush, TPS sensor rebuild kits, injector clean or anything else.

No issues other than seat rail, ever. The Jag dealer said “honestly this is the best 125k mile trade-in I’ve ever seen”. Got $13,500 for trade. It’s on the Penske North Scottsdale Jag lot right now for $18,000. They’ll probably get $15 to 16k or so.
Now it’s off to the Jag forums. Good Luck!

If you're referring to the one with an X in front of it, I'll give you one hint, X means Trans... At least that's my guess.

I was just looking this past weekend at a few Jag XF's here in town and also on ebay. Im pretty sure that will be my next ride within a few years. I love the interior, the start up sequence with the vents etc is just beautiful, not to mention the car looks amazing. Please post a pic or two of the new ride! Maybe ill see ya over on the xf forums down the road!

Wow, that was a very good price for your trade. I was considering trading my car about 2 months ago and it only had 106K miles at the time. No one would give me more that 12K for it?!?!?!?!?

PLease let us know how you like the jaguar. I was looking at this car myself. My neighboor bought one a couple months back. (she used to have an ES350)

Great info!I just hit 70k on my 06 M35 Sport and I am pretty much on the same schedule as you. I completely agree with the false "Dealer" recommended services. I do most DYI and a few items at dealer (2 visits for minor warranty work). I love the new Jag XF but I plan on keeping the M till about 120k. Same as you! Have fun with the Jag!
