I've been looking at the prices of XK8s for a while now. I think they're due to appreciate in time like the XJS before it.

I keep looking at these and the 350z. Totally different cars, but they've both bottomed out in terms of depreciation.

XK8s depreciated so much because of the nikasil scare in the early 00s followed by the massive rise in petrol prices to £1.30+ per litre. They are mechanically quite reliable, so long as you don't care if your electric seats work.

Depends, can you still adjust them manually, or will they be FUCKED like electric windows?

OP here, my seats actually still work. The heating for the seats work too. No problems with the windows either.

also timing chain tensioners, water pumps
the 4.0 was a bad engine

Saw an XKR from that generation up close IRL recently. They're a lot fatter than I expected.

LS400 for under £1000

Nearly got it up to 250,000 miles now

Whats the servicing and maintenance like?

>>16688249
Obviously a pack of lies from a Jaguar shill.

Are you really this dumb?

brit used cars are so cheap it's ridiculous but i just don't want to bother with RHD bullshit
damn you britain

>a jaguar for the price of vw golf 4

>>16688249

That's a clean Camaro.

>>16689508
Thank our ridiculous petrol prices

The side effect is that decent diesel cars are stupidly expensive, a Mk4 golf 90hp tdi with 170,000 miles can easily go for over 2 grand

>>16688249
God, that's a beautiful car. I love Jags.

>>16689913
I like it too. They're also quite cheap too. Relatively
