Default new guy....

Hello all... my name is Phil
The kids are grown and out on their own... so now I'm shopping for my first Jag.
I have been looking at XK8s of the 2000 - 2003 vintage as they look to be in my price range range. Any tips on what to look for in my search would certainly be appreciated.

Cheers
Phil

Thanks Jim... Not sure if its all about the hunt but i'm having a lot of fun so far...
More as I know it.

Also I'm headed to Florida in a few weeks to look at a few cars there. Perhaps I'll snap a few pics and post them with the specs when I return.

Cheers and thanks for the great welcome.

Hello and welcome Phil,

After your first hour reading, you probably have a good idea of the issues by now. If not, head on down to the XK8 section and ask your questions.

Enjoy the hunt. Hope you find a good one.

Graham
