Hello everyone, I guess I am somewhat of a newbie, at least to XK-8's, it has been so long since I posted, I had to re-register. Thanks in advance for your infinite wisdom. I am considering an XK-8. I have been looking for about a year. Now I have narrowed it down to wanting a coupe only. For a while any year was OK with me, then I was limiting myself to 2001 or newer, but finding a coupe with low miles in the color I want has been tough. I recently found a 1999, coupe, in the color I want from an original owner with 16 K on it. We have not agreed on a price yet. If the price is right, should I get a '99 or stay diligent in my search for a 2001 or newer? I have only seen pictures of the 1999 I am talking about. It is a long way away from where I live. Looks cherry, however, I am the owner of an '86 XJ-6 with 141K on it that I have had for 14 years and a '03 S-Type with 30 K on it, so I know you can still spend a lot on these cars no matter how pretty they are. I am afraid I am letting my impatience in my search get the best of me. It is a coupe, the right color, and the miles are very low. Should I get the '99 or keep looking? Another quick question, what is a reasonable price for a '99? Whenever I have seen them advertised they are in the $21 to $23K price range, especially in the color I want, and they don't last long. Thanks again for your help and advice.
