Hi I am a new member from Mass.

I currently own a 2006 M5 and I am looking at an XKR 175.
I have done the usual (for me) hours on the net looking at every word and picture I could find.
I am hesitating because I was planning on spending around $70 -$80K on a Corvette GS, Cadillac CTS-V or a C63 AMG.

Now that I have looked into the XKR 175 I am looking at $100K. My wife loves the XKR as I do but as we all know the money spent on any of these cars is an expense not an investment. However the difference of $25k or so looks worth it looking at these cars.

HELP!
Thanks

Hello, xk guys know surely better but I think xk also fits the bill rather than paying more $$$
Happy driving whatever you buy

Welcome Alsab,

At least your wife is on board so that's one hurdle covered.

Welcome aboard.

The XKR175 would be a great choice. I have a regular XK and a regular Corvette. I have thought about trading them both in on an new XKR, more power than either and the beauty of the XK!

Good Luck and Welcome!

Jerry

Smile Thanks, JimC64

I know this is not a real tough position to be in but like the jab.

After many more hours of obsessive analysis I am leaning heavly towards the Jag but not quite enough to fall over yet.

Thanks for the upgrade this probably means some additional hours of research.

Oh, despite the research, they could be the best looking car on the market!

Listen buddy, we hope you get the car you want at the end of the day, and that may be the Jag, time will tell I guess
