I have been looking at the 2000 XK8 Jaguar that is for sale out of state. Have head about "Tinming Chain Tensioners Problem, some other electrical issues. Also, looking at 2006 BMWz4. I really like the jag, it was a one owner car and the mileage is original. Im 65 and don't want to buy a money pit. I understand maintenance but I don't know it this was a problem year/model for Jaguar cars. Any advice appreciated

Most of the timing chain problems were in the early years 97-99. You should be ok with a 2000 MY.
