Default New to us Jaguar

We just purchased our first Jaguar! It's a blue 2004 Jaguar XJ8 with 20 inch chrome wheels. 62000 miles and comes with a few other options such as navigation, for 8000 dollars, and we're loving it. I'll try to get some pictures up soon.

Congratulations on your bargain buy and welcome to the forum.

That's a lot of car for 8k,I wish we had that option here in Australia where we would expect to pay double that.

Look forward to the pictures. Regards,Neil

Thank you for the welcome! Since I just realized I cannot edit my posts, I'll post some pictures here. We live up a gravel road, so the car will almost never be clean. Plus I haven't cleaned it after buying it anyways.
