Default XJ8 owner

My parents have an XJ8 2002 144,000 miles. They rarely drive it and it’s been sitting under a car cover in my driveway. I’m trying to find the best place to post for sale and also how much to list it for? We also see so many scammers on fb marketplace that are nervous about that.

There's a For Sale section on this site I think.

Hi Jenni:

I was given a 2002 XJ8 with the same mileage but is in need of lots of rehab due to owner neglect. I be interested in knowing more about this car if its powertrain runs fine, so please post the sale ad if you decide to sell.

Honestly I would use FB marketplace and Craigslist myself. Yes you will get some scammers reaching out to you, but you'll quickly learn how to recognize them and how to avoid them. Don't deal with any online transactions...if someone wants the car, they can come look at it in person, negotiate in person and then pay either cash or bring a bank check.

The marketplace on this site and other Jag websites are also good places.

This is the world we live in right now, we all have to deal with it. Best of luck to you.

Don't know where you are at, but if you are in or near a major metropolitan area, check for a local Jaguar owners club. Often they meet monthly. Drive it to their monthly meetup, introduce yourself and let them know you have an XJ8 for sale in the parking lot. One thing about us Jaguar owners is addiction (or maybe its gluttony I don't know). Jaguars are like potato chips, you can't stop at just one. Probably one of the club members there will not be able to resist.

It’s an addiction, not gluttony. Gluttony presupposes too much or too many and there is no such thing (within some financial limits I suppose) as too many Jaguars.
