Default Hello to the Jag World

Took a chance and bought at RM Auctions a 1997 XK8 convertible. Car came with absolutely no paperwork and a promise that the title was in-coming. Has about 46,000 miles and I am the fifth owner. Car was mostly in the Dallas area from 1997 -2016 with a clean CarFax and with another owner in Michigan for three years (only about 500 miles in that time). Now car is totally legal and has been on the road a few times with the top down. WOW..What a blast to drive as luxury road cruiser! So far I have spent about $2,500 in mechanic labor and new parts. Car color is a light taupe with a similar top and interior. Have many questions for the group, but for now just want to say "HI" . Regards...Carl

Hello, Carl,
Congratulations on your new Jaguar!
Quite a chance you took, forking over your hard-earned with no valid title in hand.
But it all seems to have worked out for you.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.
