Used Jaguar XK8 Base for sale near me

Excellent, well inform, nice conversation, helpful, all good, my experience is very very well Georg

I bought the convertible new in 1997 and still have it in 2026 (90,000km) as my second "fun" car Sapphire blue, dead gorgeous, and an absolute treat with the top down on nice days. I'm fortunate to live in picturesque countryside with nice motoring roads. I'll treated her well and had very few problems, touch wood.

I was recently at classic cars of Sarasota and found the receptionist very friendly as well as the manager. There are many interesting cars in various price ranges. Most were in good to excellent condition. It was a very positive experience.

If you are after comfort and looks, this is the car for you, but, and here's the big but, be prepared to spend more than normal for maintenance. It is a Jaguar, and that is a small company, and there are not that many dealers to take the car to, and when you do, bring a full wallet or a very good credit card. Not a sports car. This is a grand touring car, and not something for the race track. It is pretty quick for what it is, and it does handle well.

Great Experience! Iconic business on PCH in Laguna Beach. Wonderful spot for all of your automotive needs! Our whole neighborhood goes to these guys, local favorite!

I've only owned my XK8 for six months, so I cannot speak to my own long-term experience, but I researched and followed these cars for four years before buying one. It's one of those cars you buy because you want one--bad. Jaguars, at their best, appeal to your heart. That doesn't mean you have to turn off your brain, though. I can say that my car was well-designed and well-built. It feels solid and tight and built to a high standard. I've owned mostly Japanese cars--Hondas, Acuras, and a Lexus, which I still own. These are not true sports cars; they are luxury GTs. That's important to note. I had a Honda S2000 before this--totally different animal. The X100 (XK8 and XKR, 1996--2006) is a heavy car--almost two tons, so even with a V8 under the bonnet, they aren't "fast" by today's measure. (The supercharged XKR is the way to go for those looking for more of that kind of thrill.) I gave my car a 5 for performance because to me it perfectly fits the bill for what it is. It's composed, quiet, and handling is capable, not corner-carving. The steering is precise but light. It does not wander on-center. The car is gorgeous inside and out, and the interior is bordering on sumptuous. The seats are the most comfortable and supportive for long trips I've ever owned, and I've had some nice cars. Mine is a Victory Edition final-year model, with the "soft-grain" leather interior. This leather is soft and supple but it wears really well. My interior looks new and my car has 52K on it. As for reconditioning and upkeep: these cars are all 20--30 years old. They will need this and that. Buy in the best condition you can find and you'll come out ahead financially over buying one that needs work. (Unless of course you're a skilled DIY.)

I just bought this Coupe with 60,000 miles on the clock. The vehicle had been in a minor accident, but is still in decent condition. He runs like a stallion! I plan on changing out the transmission filter/fluid to keep the transmission shifting smoothly. (I am currently replacing the valve chains/tensioners on April 2nd, 2024). I'll keep working on the interior and plan on replacing the old headlamps with LED units. I also plan on removing (and selling) the rear seats, replacing them with slide bars for extra luggage room. This really is a two-seat, Grand Touring automobile, not a Sports Coupe. Since I have no family (and never will) the XK8 will allow me to travel at 1000+ mile stretches in comfort. The style is impeccable and the engine's smooth performance is pulse-quickening. Since I live in Northwestern Oregon, the convertible wasn't a practical option, so I sought out a Coupe. (I'm happy that I did). Put your money into restoring one of these Grand Touring machines. You'll gain more attention than the Corvette, Mercedes, Audi, Nissan and Porsche owners and you'll enjoy the ride. Come on. You know that you really want one, or you wouldn't be reading this.

I bought a beautiful BMW Z3 from this dealership and was so delighted to meet the staff and owner. What gracious people! They went over the transaction with me very carefully, were honest and clear about this gem of a car and were so kind. I highly recommend St. Mina Auto Sales to anyone looking for a great used car. Keep up the great work guys and continue selling fabulous cars.

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.

When on the lookout for a 1986-1987 xj6, I came across 2004 xk8 convertible, black on black 55k miles, rust-proofed, from Florida. Selling for $10k, the price was competitive w/the older xj6, but newer. (That’s good & bad.) I bought for $9k! + $1,100 enclosed shipping (@2700 mi.) The looks hints at Maserati, BMW, other Brit autos. The GOOD: Engine Performance, Speed, smooth, tight, true pin point, handling, has the looks, comfortable ride, LOVES going 90 mph on highway, no gasket or other leaks. The BAD: ‘O2 sensors’, other sensors (engine coolant sensor, engine sensor) Seems there’s always a bad sensor turning up, cd player in trunk not working, parts usually expense - ONE 10” alum. tube to a/c $235 new. Conv. Roof & rear windows not operating (cleaning contacts under the roof operation button under J-Gate fixed that. Soda, dirt, dust gets in from the shift slots.) Two mechanics couldn't figure it out. An Auto/boat Upholstery shop cured the riddle.), a/c quit at 60k mi., repaid will run @ total $900 four parts, 4 hrs. labor, Freon. Waiting for parts to arrive, I took a quick 1.5 hr. jaunt to the Poconos to see a couple bands, Fri. & Sat. No a/c in June, I lowered the windows, all was well, arrive at hotel, go to put up windows, I was dismayed rear windows were still down… and STILL down tight now. This is the 2nd time in 3 yrs. this occurred. I don’t drive the car that much, no winters. So, reoccurring bad O2 /sensors, rear windows again, a/c problems is said to be normal. The xk8 uses a LOT of battery. It has a large battery. Ez for one to die, $160 new. I love the car, but if another repair comes SOON, I may have to let her go. (I NEVER had these episodes, problems with the ‘86 xj6.)

Just bought my dream vehicle from Hamed at Autobahn Gallery. They made the process fun and easy. The personnel are fair and truly class acts. We'll be going back when it's time for our next vehicle! Hamed...thank you!

I purchased my black on black coupe in 2005 when it had 32000 miles and have driven it sparingly. Today it has only just over 37000 and it has been almost flawless! I did have to replace a headlight washer at the dealer when I first bought it (expensive), but she hasn't been back to the dealer since. I replace the oil with Mobil 1 full synthetic every 6 months and use Sonoco 93 premuim gas. The car runs great, makes no unwanted noises, and has no rust or corrosion whatsoever. Ford did a great job with these. I also have a 2006 Mercedes SL500 and they drive very similarly with almost the same horsepower (300). I have never felt that I neded anything more. These cars are well engineered and will surely appreciate in value over time!

Eddie's is the best. I've bought my last two used cars from them, starting in 2015

Love my car. Esthetically beautiful. Only two thi gs i can complain about-the cup holder design sucks and rims made cheaply chrome plated not chrome rims. Began peeling off immediately. Other than that love my car. Oh and if your expecting superior speed. You'd be disappointed.

So much fun dealing with Derek. Very knowledgeable, super fun, and very accommodating! Sold my car in 3 days for exactly what I wanted for it. I'm probably always going to use Spady Auto Group to sell or buy a car in Scottsdale. Highly recommend them for your car needs.

Two very comfortable seats, convertible and a V8. Perfect mid life crisis car for me. This is a fun little car that fits 2 sets of golf clubs in the trunk and gets there quickly.

Steve was a joy to speak with. He was knowledgeable about the vehicle and added additional expertise to our conversation. He answered all my questions and more with transparency and in an easily understandable way. He valued my time and was flexible in arranging an in person visit for purposes of a test drive

For a SPORT vehicle. . . surprisingly comfortable. Stable. Secure ride. For city and highway. Inexpensive as used. . . as a four passenger seating area. . . not for family with children. Rear seating is close and best used for shopping items. Once repairs are done they last. The 1999 Jaguar xk8 convertible. inexpensive to Insure as a classic.

It is a beautiful car, I love it ,but I am getting to old to get out of it, and to low for me .

I think the design of the car is wonder i love my convertible jag I put nichie custom wheels and tires in it the car looks good its expensive to work on but I love the car

Great experience. Nice selection of inventory, Bought the truck we were looking for. Will buy again!

I recently purchased a 2006 XK8 to replace a 2001 that caught a deer. The '01 basically survived, but sadly the cost of replacing the hood drove the insurance company to total it. IMO, this is one of the most beautiful cars produced in the last 25 years. And there is nothing being built anywhere today that looks as good. These are not loud cars for as fast as they are (electronically limited to 155 mph). With the top up, you can have a very quiet conversation with your passenger. You might have to interrupt your chat briefly while overtaking loud muscle cars that sound like they're about to explode at high speeds, but that is a mild nuisance that will be left behind in short order. Also, the driver does need to actively watch the speedometer because of this. These cars are so quiet and poised it is difficult to tell the difference between 70mph and 100mph by looking out the window, especially if there is no other traffic. There are mechanical issues, especially with the older models. Most of the significant ones (timing chain tensioners and cylinder sleeves) should have been taken care of by now. And these were mostly already corrected in the post 2000 models. All 20 year old vechicles are going to have faults, but these are very solid vehicles, and with reasonable maintenance, they are very reliable.

Had a pleasant buying experience with Will, got a nice used BMW for a fair price.

This XK8 still turns heads and is a very good value for the money spent. These cars wereover $60k when new and they still ride and perform exactly as intended. You can't have more fun with the top down for the price!

We have had the best experience from the time we stepped on the lot. Everyone here has treated me and my wife, with kindness and grace. If you need a great car, you should come here and see what they have nice high in cars. Thank you so much for displaying kindness and love for our shopping experience

I bought my XK8 used with 14K miles on it, so it was virtually new. It is a 2004. It drives and handles very well, gets decent gas mileage, is unique - you don't see many around. It has plenty of power with a 4.2 ltr V8 engine. Interior is beautiful and functional. I am tall, so it is sometimes hard to see as the rear view mirror is in my path of vision. NO back seat room for a passenger, but good to throw a handbag or jacket - also makes it not so closed-in feeling with some space behind the front seats. Love the wheels for 2004 - very stylish and unique. Women love this car, and I think it is a girl's driving machine! Sorry guys!

They replied to my question with a,very detailed and direct answer. They even provided additional in formation.

I have owned a 2004 model for 6 years now and have just enjoyed this car's handling and unrestricted visibility when the top is down. Bought it as a replacement for my motorcycle. My kids said I was too old for my bike, so enter the Jag. You are never too old for fun and this car keeps you feeling young. Took it on a four state trip through Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico and was seriously depressed when the trip ended in my driveway. I just wanted to keep driving. Find one in good condition and drive! It is the perfect touring car and has plenty of room for luggage and although the back seat won't accommodate adults, it will handle coolers and what ever shopping bags you accumulate along the way.

I inquired about a car. The car was still available. The person that responded was professional. I couldn't get cash. The cars look good.

This ’97 convertible is 24 years old, has 83k miles, and except for a new electrochromic rearview mirror, driver’s side seat control module, a vacuum line and a third set of Pirellis, is 100% original, and looks and runs like showroom new. Most people, particularly in America, don’t understand that Jags are for savoring, not abusing. Treat the car like the woman you love or a fine Bordeaux and it’ll last you forever. Abuse it and you’ll spend more time in the repair shop then on the road.

As a “boomer” this was my first foray into online car purchase. Being old school I am used to “ kicking the tires”, not possible in this format. The owner, Larry provided a detailed description of the vehicle, which was an accurate portrayal, no “ surprises”. The process does involve paperwork flowing back and forth, Larry laying out each step carefully and accurately. I appreciated his responsiveness to questions/ concerns. As indicated the car (09. 335i) is as promised, am very happy with the vehicle. I certainly will recommend Hiline Motors

Jaguars have enjoyed a rich history of performance and styling that transcends time! Well built by craftsmen and engineers who utilize form and function as well as design! This car has been pampered as evidenced by it's well kept appearance and has had regular services performed by the previous owners. The convertible top is in excellent condition and the leather is soft and supple with just a hint of wear on the driver's seat. The A/C is cold and the Harmon Kardon sound system works perfectly and all combined make for a superb drive for every day or for a weekend getaway!

Contacted them regarding a car they had listed but there was someone in the process of purchasing the car. They contacted me the next day because the original sale fell through. Everything from then on was smooth and clean. Nice place to deal with.

I have owned several Jaguars and except for my XJ12, this has been the most fun to drive. It is extremely comfortable and gets amazing highway fuel economy.

Zoom auto in austin tx is a good place for used vehicles, Joe and his wife very nice people, Joe is a man of his word and if possible he will go above and beyond making a honest deal , I purchased a truck from him and am very pleased. Thank you joe.

I always wanted a Jaguar XK-8 in the early 2000s, so bought a Coupe NEW from Rosenthal in N. VA. I love to drive it and it is a "Head-Turner". I have had it maintained/serviced religiously, and have had no issues of note . . . and it is currently performing like new! Selling only because my wife has difficulty getting in & out due to age issues and wants a sedan!? It is a GREAT car that I am regrettably selling.
