Hi guys.

Not got a Jag yet but seriously looking! Currently own a E39 BMW but the old car is coming to the end of its usefull life and would love to replace it with a XK8 OR XKR. Probably a 2003 to a 2006 model. So any advice would be welcomed.

I look forward to many interesting chats in the future.

Thanks!

Good to have you here with us at Jaguar Forums.

I know you've already found your way to the right section for help, advice and information on the XK8/XKR so no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top there is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

You can also visit the UK Region forum by following this link UK - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in this country.

Good luck finding the right XK8 for you. Enjoy the forums.

Thanks guys.

I am looking forward to many happy hours of chats. I am a keen member of a BMW forum so I know first hand how usefull these forums can be.

All I need now is a Jag! But going to wait till just the right one comes along. With a bit, or rather a lot, of reading I should now know what is a "right" one. I read in one of the topics of a check list for new buyers of xk8's never found it though..........

Anyone living in the Worcester area with a xk8 or xkR would appreciate a chat and a look. May even buy you a pint

Thanks again.

 

Frank,

This is an excellent guide to the buying an XK8:

Here's a link to it on Amazon UK:



Look out for posts from member dennisw in Solihull with an XK8. He's less than 40 miles from you.
