Default New XK owner

Hi,

I recently traded in my 535i on a 2008 XK and so far I couldn't be happier. To be perfectly honest, the look of the car had me hooked years ago but it wasn't until recently that I found one that met my criteria.

After test driving several XK's, XKR's, both convertibles and coupes, I went with this very clean and well equipped 2008 XK, single owner/lease with full service history, clean carfax etc, with 26,000 miles on the clock. I think I'm going to wear out the knob on the garage door because I have to open it and peek every time I walk by

This is my first Jag and I'm really looking forward to using the wealth of knowledge I've already found on this forum so I can learn more about this gorgeous thing that's sitting in my driveway

Thank you. I was pretty happy to finally find one in the right color with all of the options etc. that I was looking for. I'm just waiting for the dealer to call this week so I can get new tires installed. It still has the original tires on it and even though there is plenty of tread left, they're dry and cracked. I had them throw in a new set of tires as part of the deal.

Thumbs up Good Luck with your new baby!

I have a 2007 Slate Gray XK Coupe with 32000 miles.......
in like new condition. purchased 06/23/2011.

If you are still under warranty ........ check Jaguar USA to see if the AC condensation drain has been replaced. I am getting mine replaced today ........ $461............ JIT00121.......... 2.8 hours for the repair. Instrument panel must be removed to gain access to the AC/Heater......... then replace the rubber drain tube.

See my post XK Condensation 2007 Grey XK

It is true ...... just looking at this Jag makes your heart beat a little faster

Welcome to the forum, both Grey XKs. I can see I'm going to struggle with this.

Fantastic looking car.

I'm not jealous, at all.

All you have to do is upload a photo to Photobocket (or host of your choice), click on the photo, copy the IMG Code link, then past in to the comment window

Is there a link on Jaguar USA where you can check the history? I don't see this in service history that I have.

Default Jaguar USA

Jaguar USA ------------- 201-236-4451

I do not know if history is available online. Jaguar USA Customer Access has access to the history ........... you need to provide VIN

I used CARFAX prior to buying my Gray XK ....... I understand history is not complete. It depends on the dealer.

Other contacts:
TOPIX Online Jaguar shop manual .... is is primitive
Mfg JaguarUSA.com online website

I love your Gray XK ........... good looking love of your life.
