Default Just picked up a 2000 XK8 couple in maroon

Hi everyone, I just joined the Jag family by picking up a 2000 XK8 Couple in maroon with about 65k miles and in great shape! Very happy with the purchase so far. I've always loved these cars and I honestly believe that this is one of the very few cars that looks better as a coupe!

*Nice* car, Fred!! Congratulations!
65,000 miles is just well loosened up. You should be able to get many Tens of Thousands more miles before serious trouble rears its ugly head.

Someone will be along shortly to direct you to our XK8 section where you can hang out with other Xk8 owners, and you can drool over each others' cars. LOL

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Welcome to the form. That is a sweet looking coupe. Drop by the XK8/XKR (X100) group and we can get you started on some things to check. My 1997 is pushing a 150,000 miles and the forum has been a great tool for keeping it humming along.
