New XJ8 Owner

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Just bot a very nice 2000 XJ8.
A little nervous at first given the reliability and repair cost concerns, but I am now certain I found a good new toy. It has just over 105k miles. The trans was replaced at 65,000 miles and it otherwise appears to be well maintained.
I plan to do the simple maintenance items as I go through it - K&N filter, new plugs (any specific suggestions are appreciated), Royal Purple oil change, etc. Since the trans only has about 35k on it, I may have the fluid flushed to keep things smooth.
I look forward to sharing my learnings as well!
