Default 27 year wait is over

Hello everyone,
I can't tell you how happy I am to be writing this. I just bought a 2007 Indigo Blue XJ8 last week and still cannot believe it. When the deal was done at the dealership and we were all smiles I brought out the mint condition 1983 series III brochure that I ordered through the mail when I was 19. The sales manager thanked me for showing it to him and said that while it was always good to sell a car, it was great when they were able to sell a Jag to an enthusiast. I hope to be here a while and enjoy the company.

What a great story! From the title, I was expecting to read something about divorce papers...

Best wishes with the new love of your life.

I love about half the Jag dealers, some of them are such great guys. I've had some bad experiences with one, but the one me and my dad go to now the owner always comes out talks to us, sometimes mentioning getting us new car, but then he sees my car and he's like wow that's a great car. He even recently put up like 8 beautiful painting like photos of the old XJ40s and some XJS on the sales floor. It's great when a dealer really loves his product and isn't always just trying to push the newest merchandise onto everybody. My family never bought a car from Imperial Motors but we're always treated like there best customer, that's what I love about Jag dealers.

Congrats man on the new purchase Jagfan and welcome to the forum. Hopefully you won't need to many car tips for a while

Congrats on the new car!

Good things DO come to those who wait!

BTW Deep Blue is one of the best colors for the XJ, IMHO. It really shows off the lines and accents the chrome.
