Default 2002 XJ8..and I am in love!

Hi everyone!
Well, I did it...I bought what I always wanted. I am confused and thrilled all at once. I found my XJ8 with 67,000 miles on it. Outside looks like a new car, inside is pretty good too!
Now I just have to figure the various things that will need to be done to keep this car going as well as I hope. I had been reading this forum for some time as a guest prior to my purchase- I learned so many things I had never thought of. SO much more to learn.. I am sure you all will be a great help.

BTW..this is the first time in my life I have ever bought an attractive car. I raised 8 kids so you can well imagine the ugly iron I have been driving all my life.
I look out my kitchen window and I see this amazingly good looking car. Is it really mine??? yessssssssssssssss

How many times do we read these words in this section: "I finally got what I always wanted and I'm in love."

Congratulations on your purchase! And yes, it's really yours.

Welcome to the forum EastTexasTim,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums. Congratulations on the XJ8. It's always good to hear when the information available on the forum has helped with a purchase decision.

Your earlier research probably means you already know your way around but if not, follow this link XJ ( X308 ) XJ8 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X308 forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US Southwest Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/u...z-tx-nm-ok-37/

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
