It looks nice. Doubt if there will be a big demand for it. Before the F-type, the XK was the only sporty Jag available, even though it was a 2+2. The F-type replaced it as the sport car. Now that they have a full line of sedans and SUV's to carry extra passengers, why buy a sports car with extra seating? Want a sport Jag, buy the F-type.

So...... ??? Any XK8 / XKR should be good for 400,000 - 500,000 miles between overhauls. Use your favorite synthetic oil , and keep driving.
spare socks and undies + whats on your back. Fits well.

In answer to the questions about my '99 with 197,000 miles on it and my concerns.
Love the car and have put off getting rid of her. Current concerns are
1- Drivers door drop - metal split around hinge and needs to be welded and reinforced. I have a quote of $250 which I think is great!
2- The Florida heat as done a bad number on all the plastic interior pieces. Lots of broken ones and the cost is insane;
3- The computer boards are acting up. The ABS board needs to repaired for a 2nd time, the ECU is strange then gets ok. The throttle position sensor needs to be replaced but a wiggle of the wire corrects it for weeks at a time;
4- Suspension needs to be refurbished including shocks.
All being said the car has had the valves redone and on the 3rd transmission and I get compliments each week on the style. The best advice I received from a member here is to look upon the cost of the Jaguar as entertainment and it becomes easier to consider.
Depending upon my mood I say spend the money vs get another. A fine glass of Irish helps the thought process. Bottom line, where can I get a car I love for $10,000?
