rtbiscuit Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I had to share this as it made me chuckle and smile at the same time, I bought a book back in 2011 when I was looking at and buying my xkr, it was called "you and your jaguar xk8, and at the time it cost me about £15 or there about. Recently I got an email from amazon offering to buy back the book for as much as £10. I thought this was a strange offer so I went on to amazon to see if it was still for sale, and was a little suprsed to see what it was retailing for. Brand new £160 2nd hand £90 odd. Nearly fell off my chair http://www.amazon.co.uk/You-Your-Jaguar-XK8-Maintaining/dp/1844252248/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1358962428&sr=1-2-catcorr Quote

rtbiscuit Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 Well at least I have an insurance policy with the book, the hardback will reimburse the car lol Quote
S1 HNK Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 How can a book like that have gone up in value so much!? Can't imagine it's the most riveting read Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 Its the only Haynes manual for the car, limited print obviously. If your into the car its actually a good read. lots of good buying and maintaining tips, plus all the options etc, and what vins had what etc. Quote
S1 HNK Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 There's guy selling 5 on eBay for £24 each so might buy them all Quote
