Jaguar Repair: Mechanic for 1999 XJ8 in Nashville, TN, 1999 jaguar xj8, jaguar xj8


Question
I am about to purchase a 1999 Jaguar XJ8 with 39,000 miles from a dealer in Nashville.  The car appears to be well-maintained and in very good condition (CarFax shows it passed its emissions inspections, and the dealer claims the former owner changed the oil every 2000 miles), but I am hesitating because I have read and heard of Jaguar's frequent and expensive maintenance issues, and wondering if I could find a knowledgeable and reliable mechanic in Nashville who would charge reasonable prices.  Any comments?

Answer
Owning a Jaguar is not a cheap proposition. You must have a lot of money or be
willing to work on it yourself. Please go to welshent.com and see what the cost of parts are.
If you can afford the maintenance cost, buy the car. I love my Jaguars, however it cost to own a Jaguar, the parts are not cheap. Sam
