Excellent XJ8

I purchased the XJ8 after test driving the volvo, Mercedes C Class, and the Lexus GS400. The GS 400 was quicker off the line but the Jaguar made up for it in overall speed, comfort and style. Although it is a very expensive car when purchased new, a 3 year old Jaguar is one of the best values out there. Thinking of adding a second Jaguar--the XK8 to the stable.

I bought my '98 XJ8 from a shop, whose owner didn't want to proceed with repairs. It had a broken secondary timing chain, the most common failure on this engine. It had 153k on the odo, with no apparent major repairs. The oil pan was full of pieces from the chain tensioners! I did the work in my garage (got lucky because no valve damage), replacing front chains and tensioners, water pump, t-stat and tower, expansion tank/sensor, spark plugs and most hoses. Due to "runs hot" complaints I had the rad. flushed and tested. The car had several codes on the dash, so it's now at a shop to read and address them. It starts and runs beautifully, except for an occasional blip that puts it into an electrical mode of just 4 cylinders! That's the main reason it's in the shop, plus to service tyranny. I've driven it up to 30 miles w/o issue and it rides like new. It was worth the $800 purchase price (with great interior and exterior!), plus $550 parts.

Does not look like a 25 year old auto. Very happy with classic.

I just purchase this car about four days ago, and I am already in love with it. It has such a smooth ride, and it is a very quiet car. The XJ8 is a b-e-a-u-tiful car to see and to be seen in.
best car to buy

I purchased my Jaguar in 2006. One of the best decision I have made, the car is perfect, hundred of compliments, little or no problems. My next car will also be a Jaguar.
