Can't believe the envious looks and comments we have had. Handles very well, great styling, reasonable gas mileage. Great acceleration. Surprisingly quiet ride with the top up. Problem getting routine parts such as oil filters, etc.
Beautiful but costly

Have wanted a Jag since the first time I spotted an XKE when I was a child. It's beautiful, fun and now I can't imagine not having one.
I LOVE MY JAGUAR!!!!

Just can't say how wonderful the XK8 is to drive and own. How people stop to say "what a beautiful car". To drive it is even better.........just a dream. A true classic!

Bought my 2004 XK8 Jag used in 2015 had 69k and change, was skeptical at first, simply because I know the reputation of these cars. However mine has been flawless, everything works, i haven't done a thing to except change the oil. I put approx 5k on it, Sure it complains under hard acceleration but it surges forward with authority every time I punch the throttle. I wanted something other than a Camaro or Mustang (which I have 2014) I'm in love with lines and breath taking beauty like everyone else. --It's nowhere near worth 80k new or otherwise. However it's does everything I ask and more, i would buy another one, as long as it's after the 2003 model year in which they changed the plastic guides on the timing chain. FYI you hear guys blaming Ford the problems ie.. reliability, workmanship, whatever, that's nonsense! FORD actually improved the thing! The British never were that good at making reliable cars going back to who knows when!
Hope you like to visit the service dept

Looks great, drives great and is worth the $80,000.00 However, myself and everyone else that has ever owned this car has had nothing but problems with it. Problems that are too numerous to list. Usually every 3,000 miles when it is brought in for service, there is a list of 8-10 things wrong with the car. Convertible top is great but to put the cover on it for a finished look is a real pain and comes off when driving.
nice

What a beautiful car to look at,inside and out! I outfitted mine with the 19' wheels and it looks amazing.Now,driving it on the other hand is a different story,or you could say sailing it,o.k. that's unfair,my other car is an Audi S4 (on tracks!) This car creeks, shudders,and wobbles.The build quality is very questionable,which is probably something to do with Ford,only the cost of the parts are not quite in line with Ford! The V8 is good but feels dated and sounds like a taxi.I always feel like selling this car,then when i get out and look back i realise why i don't.

Bought it for the looks and just plain concours elegance. I did have some repairs that I thought were not in standing with the cars great looks and 'new' reputation under Ford. However, take the top down and DRIVE IT !! It handles well enough for what it is...an elegant automobile with looks to kill. It is NOT a Hot Rod, (if you want that get a Mercedes 500 SL) Overall, a true Modern Classic that I intend to keep 'forever'...

I never thought I would want a performance vehicle, but I am in Love! It's like riging on my own private high-powered cloud. Plenty of power, very reliable, and the perfect body design bar none.

Repair cost, when needed, is very expensive. The parts drive the cost of repair up, the labor is usually competitive.
Very Impressed!

It was a present for my wife. The criterior was elegant,classy and a convertible. She fell in love with immediatly and after the test drive was convinced. The same day we had driven a Mercedes 500, a Boxer,a Vet and a Saab. But in the end as much as I may have settled for another car she felt the XK8 was the one! The dealership was terrific and we took delivery the next day.

Bought a '99 a year ago. It's certainly beautiful, get lots of compliments on it! When a teenager (35 yrs. ago), wanted and loved the XKE. Told friends one day that I'd have a Jag, now have two, Vandenplas and this one! When I get tired of the rougher ride, I go to the big one. Have had no problems so far. Love the looks and the looks we get!

I've owned this type vehicle for the past 14 years, buying annually to semi- annually. I have that much faith & love for these machines. Not much maintenance, just menial things like oil changes, filters & maybe a computer glitch this year on the transmission (first time!) Overall, because I don't have a dealership in Corpus, it still doesn't concern me much about repairs. They are all small enough to extremely enjoy this great car that sounds like it purrs when you're driving into your big garage! I love the feel, elegance, drive, reliability & social status you receive when buying this vehicle. You can't afford to miss out on this car!
