I just bought my Jag Xk8 convertible a few months ago. It is black on black with chrome wheels. The car gets plenty of looks. People cannot tell what year or what I paid for this baby. The car is beautiful to look at in motion or while sitting still. Under the hood is a monster. the car has power the run a quarter mile when needed. In short, just buy it. You treat the car good, and she'll treat you real nice.

I've longed for this car since it was introtuced in '97. The only way I was able to "get into" this car was to wait and buy a pre-owned Jag--let the original owner take the "depreciation hit." My '98 had 40,000 miles on the odometer, but it was like new; hardly a blemish on it. I assume the original owner paid at least $75,000 for it new. It had all the special assessories with the exception of the headlight washers. The chrome wheels are beautiful on this "meteorite" colored convertible. This design has been on the road for eight years, but it is still a "head turner." It'e an expensive car to drive; high insurance premiums, expensive oil changes (oil filter) and when those

This car drives like the dream it looks like... it handles like butter oozing on a hot griddle! It hugs and responds with a light touch on the wheel, yet feels solid and tight in the suspension.

This is a great driving/touring car. Suspension is stiff and responsive but not harsh - more civilized (no kidney damage) than Porsche. Engine/tranny very powerful and smooth. Very well appointed and handsome interior that could use some ergonomic attention. Expensive new, they depreciate quickly and become a much better value as they age.
