Default New member in Austin, Texas looking for XK8/XKR

Hi. I am a new member from Austin, Texas. I don't have a Jaguar yet but I'm shopping for a previously owned Jaguar XK8 or XKR. I want to learn more about them besides they look great and I should have one!
Budget puts me in the 1997-2005 range, depending upon what I can find.
Thanks.
John in Austin, Texas

Default Thank you all for the nice welcome.

Thank you all for the nice welcome. I have been exploring the site reading about the XK8 and XKR. This forum has accumulated an amazing amount of information on these Jaguars, e.g. the parts manuals, service repair documents, buyers recommendations and even a checklist. Fantastic forum!
