This car is a head turner. I love the Alpine audio system. Very fast car. lots of power The car sold new for $75,000. You can buy one in 2007 with about 70k miles out the door for 15k. Also this was the top of the line Vanden Plas edition
Not very reliable

I have had this car almost 2 years now without much luck. Unless you have plenty of money to put into it look elsewhere. You can bet you will need a new timing chain kit somewhere starting at 60,000. Poor, poor design on the chain and guides. This is an expensive fix!! Very!! Fixes...Power antenna (of course), driver seat power switch, rear view mirror, vacuum lines, brakes (warped rotors). The check engine light is always coming on, different problem each time. Transmission fluid is $65.00 a quart. No owner service. The car is good looking and very nice to drive, but the problems with it are horrible. There are a lot of nice looking cars out there...I would choose one of them!!

I purchased my XJ8 with 38,000 miles on it have driven it 2500 without any problems. I am now having an issue with the drivers side brake light. The passenger side works. I think it may be a ground problem as it works some time. The 4.0 engine is quiet and powerful,really like driving it. It is my 3rd Jag., and I love it.
As good as you can get

I bought a 99 XJ8 that was 3 years old at the time and am still driving it everyday, 17 years later. I went to 85K before the valve cover gasket and sparkplug rings needed replacement due to oil seepage misfiring one of the coils. I took the opportunity to replace the tensioners and water pump proactively at the same time, but my cheap plastic tensioners never failed up to the 20th birthday. I also replaced the front main/crankcase gasket. Aside from that, I have replaced the thermostat and one of the ABS wheel sensors. ZF transmission has been untouched for 85K miles. So, yes, I have finally dealt all the typically discussed XJ8 components issues. Now that I have next generation replacements, I am hoping I get another 10 years and really take this automobile into true classic status.

Purchased a low mileage car off a three- year lease with Jag certified warranty. The past year has been frustrating with broken automatic seat setting device (3 times), broken wiper motor, broken electronic antenana motor, broken thermostat, and countless other nit-picking problems. The car left us stranded twice. Love the car, just wish it was reliable.
