The Appeal
Jaguar's X-Type was initially released in 2002 with production running until 2009 with well over 300,000 examples produced. The X-Type was intended to go up against the German dominated compact executive car market of the early noughties. Initially the X-Type was offered with a range of V6 petrol engines and later would offer inline 4-cylinder diesel options.
The SE version would benefit as standard from additional chrome trim, automatic climate control, a trip computer and birds eye maple wooden trim, to name a few. The V6 petrol engines have proven to be the more desirable formats over time, derived from the well-regarded Ford Duratec engine.
With a desirable specification, the SE was a better-appointed model to do battle with its German rivals, a quoted 0-60mph time of 8.5 seconds means it was well equipped to hold its own against the competition!

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
