Possible XJ8 owner ?
 
Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum and to Jaguars. I live in southern Fla and have the opportunity to purchase a 98 XJ8 with 50K mile for less than $5K. In my line of business I deal with alot of older wealth customers with beautiful autos. A customers friend/neighbor has purchased a new Jag and is basically giving the 98 away. It's in perfect condition and has been well cared for. I'm looking for a used vehicle for my wife and need to know what kind of expense, maintenance wise, I'm looking at in the future. Any advise is appreciated.

That's a pretty solid car in the engine department. I'm not too familiar with all of the minor service issues, but if you browse the specific xj areas you'll soon find what you may expect. I would do a transmission service, if not done recently. Other than that, I doubt there will be much to worry about, maybe some worn suspension bushings. That's a steal, buy it and enjoy!

Hopefully your wife will enjoy it, too!! :)

Welcome to the forums. As h2o said, check out the XJ8 boards to find answers to any questions you may have.

Welcome to the forum... Borrow her car a few times and you'll be looking for another one for yourself. :)

Good luck with it..

Welcome , not to spoil your party but make sure it would not be affected by nikasil issue , other than that it's a nice deal :)
