=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 I have been thinking about picking up a post-2002 =
Jaguar XK8=C2=A0 and I notice the bulk of them for sale are at about 70,000=
 miles. The earlier ones ate the coating out of the cylinders or something =
like that at about that mileage. Is there a particular reason for why so ma=
ny of them are for sale at this mileage? Is this when they get their first =
multi-thousand dollar repair bill?
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 I ran into a guy yesterday with a 1999 XK8 and he =
had put in a new block at around 50,000 miles. He said something like the c=
eramic (?) timing chain tensioners had taken out the engine. He paid $9K fo=
r the car and $6K for a new engine after owning it only a short time.=C2=A0=
