Beauty is only skin deep
By pgm554 on Saturday, May 24, 2008
These cars without a doubt one of the sexiest vehicles ever produced. With that being said,beware of the atrocious repair and reliability of this car. At 50K the car started to burn oil at an alarming rate.The dealer said this was normal. It turns out it needed a ring and valve job at $$$. At 118K,the tranny is now dying and this will cost $$$. These cars are beautiful money pits. So buyer beware! - 5.0

Great British Sports Car
By jds on Monday, May 17, 2021
Great styling. Drives extremely well. A lot of fun to own until you have to have work done on it. Performance-wise it is most excellent. What you would expect from a British Sports Car. The XK8 is on the lower end of the price scale for the XK line, but worth what it cost initially, Just got to be too costly to keep it running like new. A good mechanic familiar with Jags would love it all the same. Being also a Convertible, it is super fun to drive. Performance and handling are superb.
