Hi everyone,
I've been lurking for a few months and I figured it was high time to join the forum.
I'm sure my story is not unique. Ever since I was a lad I've always wanted to own a Jag. They always turned my head whenever I saw one - stationary or moving.
Last June the stars aligned and I was able to purchase a 2000 XJ8 with 67,000 miles on the odometer for a very good price. About 2,250 miles and $1,500 later including replacing the ABS sensor module, some new ball joints, a tie rod, and a replacement differential seal, I have pretty much have the XJ8 running like a top. I just need to have the fenders repainted and some other touch-ups done due to some chips and light scratches, fix some lighting issues (interior climate control and fog lamps), a good detailing job, and I'll have a really nice car.
I look forward to getting to know forums members and chime-in when I can, but I just want to thank everyone for the help and advice you’ve given me thus far.
Cheers,
Ben
