New owner of a 04 XJ8!

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Good evening everyone!
I’ve always wanted to own a XJ since I was a young kid because I had seen a early series 1 model at a car show. I was immediately smitten by looks of the big cat.
Flash forward (let’s just say a lot of years) and I was finally able to get one! Yes, this is not a series 1 but I’ve got to start somewhere right? The condition is a little rough, missing a few little pieces and runs a little hot but it fits because it sounds exactly like me especially since we moved to Florida! Haha!
This 2004 Jaguar XJ8 has a little over 121,000 miles was only $3900! I think that was a fair price overall.
Thank you for reading this and looking forward to talking to all of you!
Right after I bought it.
Getting some tires put on.

Welcome to the forums fullthrottlefreedom,
Check the cause of the 'hot' running as a priority. The gauge is not an accurate indicator of coolant temperature and an overheat can do fast and serious damage to the Jaguar V8 engine.
Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ed-v8-x200-15/ to the X308 forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the US Lower Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/u...r-atlantic-66/ to find other members in your region.
Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.
Enjoy the forums.

I thought that 04 was the first year of the x350?

Apologies. That was careless of me. The X350 was introduced in 2003 and your photos are clearly this model.
