§ V.02What moves a car within the band
Within that band, convertible cars are the most frequently traded body style in this set (105 of 124 sales), and manual cars account for 112 of them. Condition, originality and documented history move a car further than any single specification, which is why the middle half of the range is wide.
The spread by variant, printed in full above, is usually wider than the spread by year, and a single median that mixes body styles describes none of them well.

§ V.06Questions
What is a 1997–2006 Jaguar XK8 worth?
A 1997–2006 Jaguar XK8 sold for a median of $8,500 across 124 completed auctions from May 2018 to November 2026 (BidBetter, as of 3 November 2026).
The middle half of those 124 sales fell between $6,875 and $10,075 (the typical range), and the full range after cleaning was $3,100 to $35,000.
What affects the price of a 1997–2006 Jaguar XK8?
Model year: by year, medians run from $6,677 for 1998 (14 sales) to $15,777 for 2006 (10 sales).
Condition, originality and documented history move a car further than any single specification, which is why the middle half of sales spans $6,875 to $10,075.
Is the Jaguar XK8 1997-2006 going up or down in value?
Up. The 57 sales in the 12 months to 3 November 2026 had a median of $9,900, against $6,900 on 23 sales in the 12 months before, a rise of 43.5%. That compares whichever cars came to auction in each year, not the same cars sold twice, so read it as the direction of the market rather than a rate of appreciation.
How many Jaguar XK8 sales is that based on?
124 completed auction sales, from May 2018 to 1 November 2026. The table above lists the 15 most recent, each linked to its auction record. The figures were last rebuilt on 3 November 2026.
What is the difference between the typical range and the full range?
The typical range is $6,875 to $10,075: half of all 124 sales fell inside it. The full range is $3,100 to $35,000, the cheapest and dearest sale that survived cleaning. The full range is set by outliers, so it is a boundary rather than a guide to what most cars bring.
Which body style holds its value best?
On this set, convertible is the most frequently sold at 105 sales with a median of $8,750. Each variant's median and count are in the table above.
Do manual or automatic cars sell for more?
In this set, manual cars account for 112 of 124 sales. Too few cars of the other transmission type sold to publish a comparison, so this page does not make one.
Does mileage change the value?
Mileage is recorded for part of this set, not all of it, so it is not used to adjust the median. It is shown in the sales table wherever the auction record carries it, and you can see the effect directly by comparing rows.
How current is this figure?
Data as of . The figures are rebuilt from completed sales on a schedule, and the date above is the date of the last rebuild, not the date this page was loaded.
§ V.07Method and sources
What these figures are. Every number on this page is computed from completed auction sales of Jaguar XK8 cars built between 1997 and 2006. The median is the 50th percentile of the sale prices; the typical range is the 25th to 75th percentile; the full range is the lowest and highest sale that survived cleaning. Percentiles are linearly interpolated on the sorted prices.
What is excluded. Asking prices, reserve-not-met results, withdrawn lots and unsold cars are not prices and are not counted. Parts, memorabilia, literature, scale models and other non-vehicle lots are excluded. Sales not made in US dollars are excluded, so these figures describe the dollar market. Duplicate records are removed. Sales below a plausibility floor (5% of the median) and above a ceiling (10× the median) are set aside, because a $22 "911" is a data error rather than a cheap car.
What it is not. This is not an appraisal or an inspection, and it does not predict what any particular car will bring. Two cars built the same year can differ by more than the whole typical range on condition, originality, documentation and provenance.
The set. 124 sales from May 2018 to 1 November 2026, drawn from 2 auction sources, principally Bring a Trailer (118), Mecum (6). Data as of .
