I am looking at buying a '97 XK8 with less than 10k miles. Anything to look out for? Is this a good daily driver?


If you plan on using the Jag as a daily driver I would suggest a bra ($170) for the front of the car to protect it from chips and whatnot. The seats do take a little getting used to. I am 5'11" and feel that a very long drive (several hours) starts to feel uncomfortable. However, I did purchase some high end sheepskin seat covers and this really helped. In a previous post I listed the issues I experienced with my 97. At this point all has been fixed and the car is running excellent.
