Default Greetings from Seattle

I'm a former XJ6 7 SK 120 owner. I'm currently in the market for a 03-06 XK8 Coupe.
This certainly seems to be the right place to learn about them.

I'm looking forward to it. So far, I've figured out that the 4.2 will be a better bet than the 4.0 in terms of maintenance. Also, I'm going to avoid the Nav as I can't stand the look of it on the dash and would really miss those three gages.

Any suggestions are truly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim

Just remember the newer Jags don't do well driving down the sidewalks in Ballard, eh?

Uff Da!

The only car that is truly certified in Ballard is Volvo. I'll be watching for Ballard Driving School grads.

If I recall, clapped-out Saab (stories) 93 and 96's, and old VW Bugs were certified at one time.
I recall an old 6-banger Chevy No-Go (NoVa) playing chicken with pedestrians......
