Hello,

My name is John, I recently acquired an 2003 XJ8 and a 1985 XJ6. This is my first experience with Jaguars and so far I am very impressed with the quality. I look forward to meeting everyone and working on the cars. Any suggestions on top-priority known fixes/issues are welcome.

But... they aren't BLACK :P lol

Hey John ( same deal John here too ),

Sweet pics, I love em, especially that top one the Xj8 ... that color is awesome! ( even if it isn't Black :P )

Welcome!
- John ( as well ) :P

 

Thanks, the XJ8 is a world traveler. First owner was in Ohio who took it to Germany, my buddy bought it off him and brought it back to Cali where I bought it. (wife is stationed in California). It needed one new electric fan and a battery. My buddy was sick of messing with it and was planning to send it to the junk yard. I offered him $200 (sight/condition unseen) and he said come get it. Car is pristine, like new, and runs amazing .

 

Welcome aboard John.

I like to think of it as rescuing it from going to the junkyard and being put to sleep.. the $200 was the adoption fee..

 

You can put a Lot of love into a car for a $200 initial investment! I know people who spend that much on GAS EVERY WEEK!
