Wanted to say hello to all!Geeze have I learned alot about the 99 XK-8 I just bought yesterdayreading the net! (Note to self: "Research heavily on avehicle youreally nothing about)

Nice car no remorse setting injustyet 46K original. Clean car fax, Exceptionally clean car.No history on past maintenance[:@] But after looking at all the tensioner issues I have read about and an occasional tranny here and there, I am bit nervous about this new ride.... So much so I called the dealer today where I bought it, and took them up on the bumper to bumper 3/36 and simply paid that tax upfront..... I am thinking um I might just get more thenmy money back in those 3 years with this JAG.... Got Lucky on this one as the car was less then 10 years old and under 50K miles..... The warranty offer almost to good to be true.Ican take it anywhere they are ASE certified including the Jag ******* for warranty repairs! That said the tax was hefty 2.5K! Hmmmm One brokentimingChain, or a tranny and I am thinking I will win my bet on this.

Anyway thats my story so far.... I will look forward to catching you in the forums!

Loving the new XK8 owner surge. Welcome aboard!

 

Welcome to the forums !

 

Thanks much...Just made a mistake in my handle name.....Ahhhhh I actually go by Donnylee....but typed Donnylew...... Yah, sometimes I amaze even myself! I hoping I can get Admin to change it for me!

Thanks for the warm welcomes!

 

You know nobody is meant to be pfrect opppsss I mean perfect lol .

 

IIRCC,,I think this forum system will require the Admin to change your Title and you will have to tell him (Jim) what you want for a new password, because that will have to be changed too..but your account post totals will remain intact.

 

Good move with the warranty. Don't be too discouraged about though. You are seeing the worst in these posts. Most folks don't sign in to say they had no problems with the Jag that day. Believe me, there are more good days than bad. And the good are very good!

 

Welcome and don't stress the problems too much...especially now that you have peace of mind. Just one requirement for you to keep your new name the way you want it, PICTURES. LOL! Just kidding.
