Hello from Louisiana

Hello there! I'm from Louisiana and have joined this forum because I'm going to be hopefully buying my first Jaguar next week. It's a red 2001 XK8 Coupe with 125K miles on it and it's a beautiful flawless looking car. But before I buy it, I wanted to join the forum and get an insight on what specifics I need to inquire about talking to the current owner. I hope some of the existing long time XK8 owners here can steer me into the right direction so I won't make a bad choice purchasing it. Thanks!

Check the FAQ's for information about:
1. tensioners (plastic)
2. cooling system
3. transmission fluid changes (NOT scheduled by Jaguar but recommended)
Also one of the most regular questions from newbies is about replacement keys and remote fobs. The XK8 should have:
2 - Master keys (black headed)
1 - Valet Key (green headed)
2 - Remotes
Remotes can be found on ebay and programmed by the owner but keys have to be programmed by a dealer or someone with similar level diagnostics which can be expensive.
