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!

Ultimate Luxury

2005 Jaguar XK-Series XKR 2dr Convertible (4.2L 8cyl S/C 6A)

This car is the ultimate luxury vehicle. The styling remains up-to-date even after several years on the market. People continuously expess their approval. The car is a comfortable road car with great performance. The miles just seem to melt away. As an added bonus, the boot will hold two sets of golf clubs.

The experience is incredibly positive. Performance, feel and quality are better than ever at Jaguar's. I drove Audis and Mercedes before but they are no match to the XKR at all. Nice to let Porsche look strange too.
