     I have been thinking about picking up a post-2002 Jaguar XK8  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 abo=
ut that mileage. Is there a particular reason for why so many of them ar=
e for sale at this mileage? Is this when they get their first multi-thou=
sand dollar repair bill?     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 ceramic (?) timing chain tensioners had taken out the engine. H=
e paid $9K for the car and $6K for a new engine after owning it only a s=
hort time.     TIA          -Bill Brewer     Tehachapi, CA
