Barney B bear

Thanks for the replys chaps, I live in Barnsley, South Yorkshire so the specialist in Doncaster sounds ideal and I will look him up. Also on my mind is that the xkr s I've looked at are broadly the same as in mileage and spec but there seems to be a difference in price of upto 2 or 3 thousand pounds but doesn't seem to be age related. My budget is around £8000 and I'm worried about spending this amount on a 12 to 16 year old car.

Xkr. I'm a new member and as yet I am not a jag owner. I have a little money coming soon and will be treating myself to a xkr probably between years 1997 and 2002 (I'm not loaded) I have read about some of the issues that could occur and I'm determined not to be put off but would like to know what I'm getting into regarding general costs like servicing and the cost of addressing said issues. Please advise.
