Hi from Somerset County, NJ and my 2003 XKR
Hi all,
I have a quartz/dove 2003 XKR convertible that I bought "new" from the dealer in 2005 after it had done 1,100 demo miles. It's now all the way up to 19,000 miles and although I really love this car, I have to say that it has been a bit on the high (and expensive) maintenance side, having had to replace the supercharger and the hydraulic roof opening system since the extended warranty expired. The only non-stock update I have made so far was to replace the original tires with Michelins which are much quieter and seem to perform at least as well.
That's it for now
Nick

Welcome to the forum Nick,
That's exceptionally low miles in ten years.

Remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.
