I owned an xk8. The tires sizes are different front and rear. So , you cannot rotate the tires. They only last 15k mikes vs 40k. I did not see the red car at any dealer. Expect a costly expense when the convertible top motors need replacement. Besides this my car was very reliable and enjoyable. Mine lasted for 139k miles. I kept slot of tools in the trunk. The tools touched the battery and the car caught on fire ( my negligence) the car ran for a while after the fire. I replaced the battery reversed polarity and fried the circuit boards. I junked it for $300. I kept the four rims and brand new Michelin tires. Which are 4 sale Jun 18, 2023

Simply Fabulous. Elegance personified. I owned 3 Jags, one a 69 XKE. Nothing COMPARES other than Porschedule 911.

Definitely A Car Worth Owning & Upgrading. It Will Increase In Value.Jan 28, 2022

Looks beautiful but:
1. Has no power brakes.
2. Doesnt have a good ride - floats like a boat.
3. Considering the turbocharged V-8 it has no acceleration power. Aug 30, 2021

This car is my fun car. Really love driving and looking at it. Everyone comments on what a great looking car it is. They think it is still new. Fun to drive and comfortable enough for longer trips with lots of luggage space. Love this car!Aug 09, 2014

1998-2005 xk series cars are the best bargain out there. Good looks, lots of power, loads of trunk space and beautiful interior. This is my second one after the first was totalled when a steel plate was popped into it from the car in front.
Small number of electrical issues that are easily solved.
Very easy to add aftermarket electrical mods like bluetooth, etc.Nov 21, 2013

Follows in the spirit of the sixties E type .Look up car in a dictionary read XK8. This car is sensational and lives up to its looks. Great performance, and good economy for car of 4.0 litres and a nice throaty V8.Nov 02, 2011

My mate had this car and lent it to me for 6 mths when he wnet to the States in 2003. What a dream that was! Not a bad car really but wouldn't buy one. Was a fun car to drive nevertheless.
Have to say, his choice of burgundy was a bit suspect!Aug 19, 2008

Excellent Performance and Great Looks. Lots of fun to drive with the hood down, when the English weather permits! Let down by Build Quality (its not German!) and odd electrical gremlins....You dont buy these kind of cars for economy, but in my opinion it is very reasonable to own in terms of costs. Jul 25, 2008

I've always wanted this car, it's been in my top 5 cars forever, now i own one i'm slightly dispapointed that it's not quite fast enough and not quite comfortable enough, don't get me wrong, 0-62 in about 7.5, top speed of 150 plus, and it gets there quick, and the comfort is wonderful with leather intrioirs and all extras to cater for your journey, but i think i was expecting something more form a car that has a 4 litre V8, something biblical, it makes a satisfying purr but it's not that impressive, it leaves you feeling slightly disappointed with the ride.
However in terms of looks there's few cars to rival, unlike it's sister aston martin it's lines are more rounded, smoother, more graceful, aston screams machismo, but the xk8 oozes class, even when i'm driving mine and see another on the road i can't take my eyes off them, they have like all jaguars aged incredibly well, infact become better looking as they've got older.Dec 19, 2007
