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 many of them are for sale at this mileage? Is this when they get their first multi-thousand dollar repair bill?<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1423244291865_110930"> 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. He paid $9K for the car and $6K for a new engine after owning it only a short time.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1423244291865_110936"> TIA<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1423244291865_110937">
