Love the 2001 Jaguar XK8

I own a 2001 xk8 and have no regrets about this car which I use mostly on weekends. It is still a head turner when I sit at the light and other motorists come close up and recognize the beauty. The ego ge is quiet, it sits comfortably on the road and “ sprints out of the block very fast and maintains its incredible speed.” I love this car.

2001 XK8 Convertible

This car had 55k miles on it when I bought it in 2012. Initially, I had to spend some money to get it in good shape mechanically, but not a great deal of money. It now has over 71,000 miles under its belt. Beautiful, fast and comfortable! No major issues, but I have put two fuel pumps in it. No idea why! I owned two Jags in the past XK 150 & XKE) and, although I loved the EType, this is by far the best of the lot! A whole lot of car for not much money.

Most Beautiful Car Ever

This pre-owned car was sold to me in immaculate condition. I just bought it this week and have been loving its excellent condition and how smoothly it rides. Can't tell you yet how reliable it will be, but everything is in top working order presently.

A lovely car to drive even after 18 years

Its a classic design that will continue to be admired for decades. Used on the weekends to cruise in the countryside with the roof down. It glides down the road and is such a pleasure to drive.

Surprisingly good.

This is the first Jaguar that I have owned. I have had it for 11 years. Even though it was a 2nd car, with limited driving, I can honestly say that I have had very few problems.

Jaguar xk8

Car too old to be used for an every day driver. Decided to buy something else instead. Also buying remotely so nochance to see/drive or have mechanic check it out. Too much risk for car that old.

Fastest classiest car

Great car. Had over $98,000 miles on it. NO problems whatsoever. Beautiful inside and out. Great gas mileage. A little uncomfortable on long trips though.

music in motion

this car is like no other car ever made.the exterior lines are so smooth and flowing that it makes the chopped off cars of today look like mistakes.I own a 2000 XK8 also and I was so pleased to find this car with only 3000 miles on it.I was also pleased with the dealer I purchased it from.It was perfectly detailed in every aspect.I also own a mercedes 500SL which has had many problems and I much prefer the XK8 to it.
