Default New owner of a 99 XJ8

New owner/member from SE Iowa.

Any Jaguar mechanics near Burlington?

My neighbor retired, sold his Jag, and moved to FL.

I felt bad. I never got a chance to test drive it. Never asked how much he would sell it.

A little over a month after he left. I saw a Jag in a local dealer.

To cut the story short, I was able to buy his Jaguar at a price lower than what he sold it for.

Now I just need to give it more love than what my neighbor gave it.

Check engine light came on today.
