I am the proud new owner of a 2002 xk8. I have owned a few premium cars but this is my first Jaguar. I have to say this is an awesome automobile. However, I would appreciate if anyone can lead me in the right direction for purchasing parts. I know dealers are always an option but I would like to avoid the stiff profit margin dealers usually apply. I am thrilled to be a member of a group of people who appreciate quality and beauty.

 

Welcome, you can check out XK8/XKR Forums for your questions .
For parts , I can suggest :
JPAM PArts, Nalley Jaguar (our vendors )
www.jagbits.com
www.motorcarsltd.com

and your dealer lol

 

Welcome - Yes, I agree with Cadillac, the site venders all have good reputations. There are several other sources too depending on what you need. A couple of sources I use for basic or generic parts such as belt hoses, etc. are rockauto and autohausaz. Rockauto is a deep discounter so I can save my customers money on routine stuff.

All the Best,

 

welcome brandon! Great to have another XK owner around. Not all dealers charge those high prices, I assure you, its on a case by case basis.

Nalley Jag, if you choose to go dealer (which I stick to on most of my stuff), offers 15% discount to us! Check out the thread for the discount in the Vendor Classified area.

 

Thanks for the reply guys. I have already browsed around on the suggested web sites and will definitely keep them in mind when making a purchase.
