I just purchased my 2001 xk8 with 24,000 miles on it. I am so happy. Will post pictures soon. Need to purchase a warranty. Can anyone tell me the best warranty for my car. Any help would be appreciated.

For your 10 year old car, your best warranty is the information and support you will find in the XK8/XKR section of this forum and your own two hands !


Welcome !!

After you get and consider the warranty quote, and review all the limitations in the fine print of the aftermarket warranty consider this as an alternative:

Take the car to a competant independent Jaguar mechanic. Have all the fluids changed and the car fully inspected. Have any recommended preventative work done. Then pay a few dollars a mointh into an emergency savings account set up just for car expenses.

Chances are you wil come out ahead.

Welcome to the forum Bassmania,

I think that WhiteXKR is giving some sound advice IMHO.
