if you want a frame -don't buy an XJ

If your a social person that likes to hang out with people that dont have XJs- don't buy an XJ

If you don't want to tell your friends to shut up every other hour in your XJ because you think you heard a new noise from it. - Dont buy an XJ

If you plan on putting 20" wheels on your XJ - You F**** better not buy an XJ or I will T bone your *** (have seen a couple up here in the rockies for some reason)

if you can't fix it or look at it and figure it out, don't buy it.

if you can't drive, don't buy anything and save the rest of us the headaches

add me to the no drips AND no sludge list

anyway....if you dont like heated floors, dont buy an xj

if you dont get worried when a noise goes AWAY, dont buy an xj

if you're not counting down the miles until you engine blows up so you have a reason to do a 4.7 stroker, dont buy an xj

I still think it was worth it

If you like having room in your garage, don't buy an XJ (2 XJs and a motorcycle do NOT fit in a 2 car garage )

If you don't like buying tools, don't buy an XJ

If you want to impress the people at work, don't buy an XJ

If you think that everyone needs to do their part to reduce oil consumption to reduce our dependency on the middle east, don't buy an XJ. What it doesn't burn, it'll leak.

If you like to freak your passengers out, buy an XJ (bad shocks + highway speeds = Fun!)

I am loving this no oil leak list. You guys need to teach me how to get my 190k original 4.0 motor and trans not to leak a single drip of something on the ground. It would be a miracle!!!

If you're ex wife has a penchant for getting her child support late ... don't buy an XJ.

Kidding of course ...

Despite this thread I'm relatively leak free nor in-debt due to my XJ (knocking on wood).
