You Won't Believe How Much I Paid For My New V8 Jaguar XK..

I've had my 07 XK Coupe for 12 years (134k miles) and it's the best car I've ever owned. There is a lot of life left in your XK! I've also got a new to me 2006 XJ8L with 202k miles on it and it is actually in pretty decent shape too. My experience with Jaguars has been great, I'll always have one.

One of Ian Callam's best. You can see how his work on the DB7 and DB9 was carried on here. These XKs still look lovely.

Hi Jack, I am new to your channel and binge-watched a number of your videos this weekend. After watching your video on the previous gen XKR, I was hoping you would try the more modern X150. Lo and behold, today I see you’ve gone and bought one! I’m blown away. Congrats! I have been on a similar journey with mine. I bought my XK about 2 years ago from a medical doctor. Doctors care about people and not about cars. So mine needed plenty of TLC. In fact, I dropped my car off at a panelbeater this morning to have the bonnet and front bumper resprayed. My car comes from a part of the country where the roads are particularly bad. So I too have some nasty stone chips that have been bugging me for some time. Apart from the battery and aircon, my issues have been mainly cosmetic. Cuts in the seats, worn bolsters, sagging roof lining, scratches, dents, stone chips, all 4 rims were buckled and one was even cracked. I also only got one key with the car. You don’t want to know what Jaguar charges for a replacement. Anyway, I’ve managed to resolve all those issues. Your XK looks stunning in black… That would have been my first choice.

The ‘poor man’s Aston’ when they were introduced, but in reality these XKs always were great cars, and much more affordable. Now even more so. Great vid Jack. I hope it checks out with Jaguar. Thank you for sharing.

This is one of the 'modern' Jaguars that look quite nice in my opinion. I think you did well and I wouldn't worry to much about the mileage. It will be good to see and hear your plans Jack take care. 👍👍

Look forward to seeing how you get on with it. I bought my 2007 XK 6 years ago and I still have it as my daily driver. It's been reliable, comfortable and the perfect long distance cruiser. I still love driving it and especially that engine sound!

Congratulations on your choice of car! 😀 I really wanted one of these myself but had to realise that I just don't fit comfortably behind the wheel of an X150 XK. I ended up buying a X100 XK8 from the Final Edition. A lovely car with a laid back kind of personality. A true continent munching cruiser. And I fit perfectly fine. 😊 I just recently added a 2017 V6 F-Type to my collection and I am totally and utterly in love with it. Enjoy your XK Jack and be assured of owning one of most gorgeous cars ever designed!

Lovely choice! Damn handsome car, it's a Jag, and that V8 is wonderful. Best of luck with it. Certainly a great way of bringing interest to the channel, without breaking the bank...hopefully :)

Nice find Jack! Quite elegant in that color. I look forward to seeing how it progresses!

I would give the transmission a fluid and filter change.

I’ve had one for about three years now and I love it! 😍 Mine has the more traditional Jag interior, with beige leather and wood trim - I didn’t want it any other way! Fully agree with your comments in this review. The peak power figure doesn’t seem like much but this engine is all about torque: 411 Nm is quite a healthy number! So once it goes, you feel like a big hand pushing you... 🙂 Oh and last but not least, it’s just an amazingly beautiful and classy car... 😎

At least the headlining hasn't drooped.

Good choice! I would have looked for a XKR instead (basically because I am driving an XJR) but these engines are bulletproof. My car just completed 300.000 km (186.000 mls) without any issue. The XK looks stunning and will be a very good daily driver. So congratulations again.

As a previous owner of exactly same model, colour and wheels I like your choice. I really enjoyed my time with it. Only reason for selling is as I’m 6’6” with all my tallness in the legs, I found it slightly frugal in the legroom department. However if I took the driver’s floor mat out I could just about make it bearable.

Good man Jack. Welcome to the 'club'. Excellent choice and I'm sure you'll love the Jag. The XK is plenty fast enough even without the supercharger. Enjoy!

I have an 08 XJ Sport and it's the hated diesel. It's been great for the year I've had it. Insane value for what you're driving, even quite pokey. Settles down above the speed limit nicely. I'll have another Jag in the future after this experience.

I bought a beautiful Jaguar XK 5 litre V8 18 months ago. It was fast, sleek and very pretty, but it was not comfortable because when I moved the driver's seat back sufficiently it rubbed against a post and made a ghastly noise---and this despite the fact I am not particularly large at 6 feet with short legs ! It is also cramped in general and is NOT "luxurious" at all. I LOST "£6,500 when I finally got rid of it but the replacement is heavenly----a Jaguar XJ 3 lire diesel that is fast, quiet and so comfortable as to be simply wonderful. In addition, it is gorgeous to look at in silver with cream leather, wood rim steering wheel and clear windows without the "obligatory" modern blacked out rear windows. Sheer heaven !!

I miss my 2011 XK so badly, one of the two favorite cars I've ever owned. The other was a 2005 XJ, the most luxurious interior I've seen. The XK's interior wasn't as impressive, but wow what a rocket with the paddle shift. And the hips on that baby ... ow!

Great buy. My son had one recently, an XKR, and I was very impressed. Tiny inside but good to drive and pretty good on fuel.

Jack, excellent as always! like the budget vs run time, will it work - great challenge and look forward to how this one goes! 🙂
