Make.........................JAGUAR
Year of manufacture...1998
Model........................XK8 COUPE AUTO
Engine size(CC).........3996
Just someone that has just started working with us has bought one and I wondered what the spec's of these are?
According to the parker's guide Running costs need a film star's salary
didnt think they paid that much here

be very careful - i think they had problems with the engine, Liners dropped or something similar
Jag had to replace many engines under warranty
still like them though
would love a ragtop

The liners thing is the good old Nikasil Bores Problem. That particular car is right in the firing line. To be sure, get a leakdown test to check condition.
Also look at the XK8 v Porsche Boxter article on General Discussion. I put a brief description of the problem there
Doesnt necessarily mean that all cars are affected though!
