Hello guys.

I had a 1988 Jaguar XJ6 Sovereign back in the days. It was getting everyone's attention. Now i decided to purchase another Jaguar. I think i found a very good deal but i want your opinion. It is a 2006 Jaguar XJ8 Vanden Plas Black/Beige 80K miles asking price was $11,000 but I negotiated for $9,000. It is very clean inside out.

Is is worth it?

 

It's "worth" what you're willing to pay for it, that being said it's a different beast from the X308.

 

2006 would be an X350.

 

The engine & transmission issues would have been largely resolved only to be replaced by failing struts and airbags. Overall a more reliable car and probably cheaper to maintain.
