Hello all.

Just joined the other day. In the market for a 2005 XK8. The information posted in this forum has been very helpful. Many thanks to all who contributed. I hope to find what I want very soon.

We shall see what happens.

Inspection revealed badly worn front tires, TCM leaking, thermostat problem, weak battery and lower control arm bushings needing replacement. I offered $15,500, but she said no. I will keep looking.
