This one looks a bit odd upon close examination. What do you guys think?

Looks like they really liked to modify stuff, but forgot to treat the leather. I've seen those tail light covers, but I guess it is personal taste. The trunk lid I have never seen, but I don't see many XK8s around where I live, and the grill is on about everyone I have ever seen. I like the simplicity of just the chrome bar...........Be cool.....Mike

Yes the exterior mods look decent.. may have to put lambswool seat covers on the cracked leather. I think 120k miles would be OK if the owner keeps up the maintenance, better than a low mileage car that has been sitting for long periods. I had a 1998 XK8 that was a real POS, hope the MY2003 fares better.
I'll go take a look this week...

So the seller has only had the car for 2 months and he's "waiting for a loan to get a new car", and his phone area code does not match the car's location (50+ miles away)... all these red flags (plus the car's radio "Oh No" warning) have convinced me to pass up this one...reminds me of my old bachelor dating days, there's always plenty o' fish in the pond.
I don't work on cars, so I always get a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a trusty indie shop. From what I've read, post-MY2003 XK8's have fewer problems than earlier model.
