Default Xj 8 2000

Dear all,

I am contemplating of getting a used jaguar XJ8 (3.2)(V 8) year 2000. I was advised to get the XJ6 (3.0) (V6) year 2003. I would appreciate if someone can advise which is a better car to keep and to maintain. I was told that the XJ8 has more mechanical parts and the newer XJ6 has more electrical components that can be costly to be replaced as well.

Thank you.

Welcome to the forum woonweeyuen,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

When considering any Jaguar, service history is crucial. It should be complete with no unexplained gaps.

Follow this link XJ ( X308 ) XJ8 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X308 forum for help, advice and information on the steel bodied 1997-2003 XJ8.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Follow this link XJ ( X350 & X358 ) XJ6 / XJ8 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X350 forum for advice on the later aluminium bodied 2003-2009 XJ6.

You can also visit the 'Other Areas' Region forum by following this link Other Areas - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your part of the World.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
