Hello JF! About to get my first Jag.
I should be finishing up the paperwork for a 2008 XKR Portfolio Coupe today. I was going to fly out to pick it up in California and drive it home to Dallas (after a little time in LA and a stop in Vegas of course), but crazy Californina laws threw a monkey wrench into the works.
What I was told is that since I am not going to pay Californina sales tax that the car would have to be delivered to me at the state line where a notary would sign off on the paperwork.
I think it is less hassle to just have them put it on a truck.
Can't wait for it to arrive.

Be sure to subscribe to all the sections of the forums you want to stay up on , especially get signed up and subscribed to the Regional (SW I think) for our area, as I think we're going to attempt a TX-OK meetup here in the DFW area this year. We'd love you to come and let us see your new ride.
I'm local, if you need anything, just PM me after you get full forum access priveleges. (10posts, 3 days... shhhh)

No financial crisis, the great state of Texas has treated us pretty well as far as the recession goes. I bought my current vehicle (Jeep Grand Cherokee with the Hemi & 12 MPG) for a steal two years ago when gas was $4 a gallon. I am hoping to sell it once the cat gets here for as much or more than I paid!

Well, I just signed up here. This is actually my second Jag (the first was mine for a couple of days). I got it, and it doesn't run, shop said it was the timing chain(s). So I am embarking on the adventure of changing them out myself, but I am stuck at the harmonic balancer center bolt.
Anybody got an idea about how to keep the crank from turning when I get an elephant to stand on the breaker bar (386 Nm force = about 514 ft-lbs of torque)?

great!
I don't think that california sales tax is payable unless you live here or the seller has a presence in your home state. There may be an argument that you have a pay a use tax, but you're not using it much here if you're just driving it home.
Anyway, post some pics!
