One more XJ8
When my 53 yo son was a teenager he occasionally used to whine "I wish I had" xxx, to which I used to answer "I wish I had a Jaguar, but I don't".
Well, at 77 years of age I finally do. A bit long in the tooth, as I am as well, too old to be a late model and too young to be an antique, but in terrific shape for a 2007, with 68,000 mi. Glad to be here, and hope to be actively contributing soon.

Glad you finally got yourself a Jaguar! I had an XK-150 for a few years when I was young and have constantly lusted for another Jag, all these years. Forty years later, I finally got one. Really can't afford it but--dammit--bought it anyway! I am enjoying mine and hope you get a lot of pleasure out of yours, too!

Thank you. I feel my XJ8 is not a luxury, but devalued enough in purchase price, and very economical in operation to afford. If I had bought a later model car of any kind for road trips the overall cost would be much higher.
