can i ask can you buy a jaguar warranty for a used car you buy. As before looking for xk8 was orginally after a tip boxster and i know you could buy a warranty from them providing car had fsh passed an inspection and paid £725. Do jag offer the same but at what cost, the porsche one seemed good value for pece of mind.
Three things you can do...
a) Buy a Jaguar warranty. As mentioned, it may need inspecting first. Likely to have great service (I'd hope!), but it is quite expensive
b) Buy a third party warranty. I just did a quick quote online which came up with £1000 for 3 years cover. Bit less likely to pay out than Jaguar, and always a bit more hassle to deal with. But still, a few phone calls are potentially worth saving £2500 over!
c) Get an AA warranty added on to AA breakdown cover. It costs about £50 or so, and covers you for up to £500 per claim if your car breaks down and they can't fix it by the roadside. Absolute bargain, pays a substantial chunk of most bills short of new engines/gearboxes, and I've only ever heard good things about it paying out when needed.
For what it's worth, I've gone for option (c).

Not necessarily in my experience...

Agreed. Think I should probably have emboldened the "potentially". Very much depends on how good your local garage is at dealing with the warranty company, the warranty you choose, and pot luck. I had one warranty that paid up on a new clutch, electrics, etc. over the course of ownership to the tune of £2,000 plus - easily making it worthwhile. I had another I just about broke even on. And there are plenty of stories around of stone-blood-extraction nightmares. That's why I plumped for the AA one this time round.
