Hey, I'm Newman. I appraise vehicles for a living. Jaguar has a very special place in my heart throughout my life. Growing up my dad had 3 XJs. I learned to drive on a British racing green x300 XJ6L 4.0. I was fascinated with that inline-6 as a child and it made me obsessed with cars. I graduated highschool in 2010 and was obviously obsessed with Jaguars amazing new lineup of 5.0 cars. I wanted an 5.0 XK so bad that I could die. Fast forward 9 years and many many late nights and extra shifts later, I bought my dream car at 27. I adore this car. 2010 Jaguar XK 5.0 v8 in lunar gray on charcoal leather with white stich and burl wood. 45k miles. (My eyes are a little red, I cried a little bit) I have lurked this forum for years and want to thank you guys for teaching me so much. I'm so happy to post for the first time. I did it you guys!!!!!!!
