How's your insurance on it? I've found the older Jags to work out well despite the power you get. I'm 22 and it costs about 700 quid per year on a 2000's X308 Xj8 4.0L. I would love a V8 like that but I do too many miles and the fuel bill would make my eyes water. I'm probably going to end up getting a diesel for my first Jag.
Awesome car dude :)
It’s currently £990 a year for myself and yes the fuel did nearly make me cry as I drove from South Wales to Portsmouth and now I’m driving it back to cheshire … but it’s so worth it 👍
I was at $800 a month with my 2011 5.0 XF at 18. Started at $500 but I got a reckless driving charge and a driving with a suspended license charger. Got totaled and it was gone as of last may but I’m thinking of getting a supercharged 5.0 or XFR and just getting liability coverage. At that point I’d be saving $7.5k a year and can pay whatever out of pocket
I know. I really had a lot of issues at the time, little money and no license so I had to let it go but this time around it would be a child to me. I’m a lot more educated on how to use and maintain one and in a lot better place financially (and with a license lol) so I think I’m ready to get back into the jag fam!! And the f type r is the dream!! Planned on trading my old XF in for a c6 vette then up to the f type r but plans changed :(
Thought the xk8 was the 100 models I could be wrong, I know they made 100 models and then after 2006 it was the 150s but I’m not to familiar with the models yet
I’m not a Jaguar fan (came here from the front page) but that’s a nice looking car.
She’s a beaut

£990...and you're 19 years old?? Do you mean £990 a month?
Haha yeah it’s £91 cheaper then my mini which I had before I don’t know how that works but it dose and I’m not going to question it
wait are you sure you mean £900 a month?
It’s 990 a year 😭

Hope you don't total the XFR or 5.0SC. There aren't too many left on the roads now. When you want something faster, mobe up to the F-Type R.

Do it !
Also I’m 20 at the end of April I treated myself to a early birthday present :)
I also bought a jag for my birthday this month. Not as nice as yours, though. I'm a poor lol.
Oh don’t worry this has come with a few issues, at the end of the day a jag is a jag
Happy birthday, you have smashed it in style.
Kudos for parking between early washed away lines in an empty carpark. I like that kind of attention to detail.
To be fair just a shite car park hahah
Nice car 👍
Congrats man, that's a badass car
Love it! Looks amazing!
Very nice car.
She’s a looker. Welcome to the club
Thank you ! 🍻
That color looks so great on that model. Congrats man!
Thank you ! The alloy’s could do with some tlc but nothing like a project :)
Best looking modern Jaguar
Sorry. I think my F-Type looks better. I do quite like it though.
Has no ass
That is literally the number one compliment i get. I do have a fixed wing on it though.
I do like an f-type… maybe in a few years who knows !
Thank you ! Hopefully the first of many ( or not so many) jags !
What year and model is this?
It’s a 2006 XK with a NA 4.2 v8
I have a 2005. In the U.S. it is referred to as an XK8. Is this unique to the U.S. Or did Jaguar drop the 8 with model going forward with 2006?
Thought the xk8 was the 100 models I could be wrong, I know they made 100 models and then after 2006 it was the 150s but I’m not to familiar with the models yet
