I hate to part with this car as I really do love everthing about it. I have had no trouble with it and I love to drive it. Also , everywhere I go I get complements on it's beauty; however my age tells me that I need a different kind of a car.
Reliable...but

It is a fun car to drive I even had a police officer stop me to admire the car, honestly no ticket. I had the engine replaced at 34,000 miles because of no oil. I don't know if the servicing dealer didn't put in enough or why or how it lost it. It was covered under warranty after a fight with Jag reps. What I did find out is the gauges are not reliable because prior to dying, the engine temp and oil pressure guages all said normal nor were there any red lights lite on the dash.

All the horror stories must have occurred before the 1990 model for I have had very reliable cars/ My MB's over that period were no more reliable and lack styling. For a convertible it is super quite compared to other 1998 cars I have driven.
Love the Car

Im 48 and wanted a sports car that I could have and hold on to for a long time. I looked at Vets but I decided that its really for a younger person. I've had the car for several years and I really enjoy it. Its not nearly as fast as a vette but its quick and it is the best cournering car I've had. I have great fun taking it into a winding road with really sharp turns and curves. In the summer its great fun to drive with the top down. The car does not stand out and most folks dont realize its a high end car, which I like a lot.

There are well documented, long-term issues with the XK8 that should have been addressed in a car that is 20 years old. Regularly maintained at dealers over the years, with a few exceptions, all these have been attended to in my car. My car has the original nikasil-bored engine; high sulphur fuel has never really been a problem in the USA. My main maintenance problem has been the reliability of the air conditioning system with most of the system being replaced over the years. The car has never let me down on the road. It was my daily driver when I was still working - all year-round. Snow and ice were a challenge without snow tires and no weight in the boot. The Harmon Kardon sound system is superb. The XK8 convertible is a pleasure to drive and, even given its age, still turns heads. I will never regret buying it.
