Smile Looking to buy 1st Jaguar.

Hi, all


I've been a lurker on this sight for sometime. I have enjoyed all the great information.


My wife and I are currently looking at a low mileage 2002 XJ8. We plan to have a pre purchase inspection done in the next couple of days.


If it comes back clean we will be joining the "Jaguar Owners" ranks.

Good for you, having an inspection!
Fewer unpleasant surprises that way.
Welcome from ElinorB.

Welcome to the forum garsutt,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

After lurking for some time, there'll be no need to give you a link to the X308 tech forum.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to for info on regular issues.

I hope the inspection works out OK and you are soon back with details of your Jaguar.

You can also visit the USA Northwest Region forum by following this link USA Northwest - Washington/Oregon/Idaho & SW Canadians - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Hi there, Welcome to JaguarForums - I would normally tell you that you have found the forum with one of the friendliest bunches of Jaguar fans anywhere but I suspect you already know that, and this is somewhat belated :-) soooo I will rephrase and just say that it is great to have you onboard - I had an XJ8 and loved it.. I am sure you will too - it's the first car I ever had that made driving such a pleasure.. congratulations (assuming the checks go OK) on your purchase - a very good choice :-)

Default Welcome to Jaguar Forums

Welcome [garsutt] ... and greetings from a fellow enthusiast down under. Great tips and links from Graham; and warm welcomes typical of ElinorB and Steve Beyond the great technical resources and expert knowledge here, we pride our Jaguar Forums on being a friendly experience.

Lurking is welcome . . . but owning and enjoying your own Jaguar, especially your first, is something else again. So; dive in and enjoy . . .
and best wishes from all of us,
