Gents/Ladies,

In the market for a rag-top 2010/2011 XKR. Not my first rodeo with Jag (ex-wife took the '03 XKR in the divorce - lol).

Im looking at low mile (less than 20K) vehicle preferably black/black. What I'd like to understand is any 'gotcha' events on these new jags ... when can I expect to do the brakes (cost), rubber, any special little items that are annoying (and expensive) to repair.

I recall my last XKR enjoyed blowing the hydraulic line right above the center light and dripping green oil all over the console - lovely! :-)

Thanks in advance - oh, I'm Dallas based in case you missed it.

M.
