Possibly Buying XK8
#21
Tensioner replacement on the '99 is a given or you'll never really relax driving the vehicle. Remember rubber also deteriorates with age so cooling hoses and suspension bushes may need attention if never replaced. Also make sure it has 2 x Black headed Master keys, 1 x Green headed Valet Key and 2 x remotes. The most frequent question posted on the forum by new buyers of used Jaguars is "where do I get replacement keys and/or remotes". The cost often comes as a nasty surprise.

Just hung up the phone with the gentleman I have been dealing with. He has all the keys and the key fobs. So that痴 a plus. The owner had them safely at home along with the title. Very excited here but also a bit nervous. Plans are to pick it up tomorrow and drive her to her new home here. 🤗😱😍
I have already called some Jaguar shops to get prices on the tensioners and the hydraulics for the top.
Wish me luck!

I love history of items. When I bought my house built in 1938 it came with a folder of original photos and the blueprints. I should have thought about the car photos too. I think I知 just so excited! haha

Thanks. I am usually not a fan of black cars because they show every little mark. The color is beautiful though. That sparkle in the sun! Glad she loves the car.
