Hello folks. Been lurking for a few weeks trying to get information regarding a prospective purchase. Had some issues setting up the account but finally got it to work. Test drove the car last weekend. Waiting to get a PPI done and am concerned that the car will be sold before the dealer can see the car. Help talk me down from the ledge. So close and yet so far ...lol.

Welcome to the Forum. You need to let us know what cat your looking at. Hope you get it. Good Luck

 

Ironically, it is the same exact car as yours, except black. Was in an accident back in 2005 according to carfax. It is a driver, i.e. not perfect on the outside, but I think a good detail job with some touch up paint will do wonders. I already ordered the book from Amazon about buying XK/XKRs and am awaiting delivery.

Can you tell me if the tensioner is an issue for this MY?

Pretty sure brakes were done by the current owner who has had it for the past 5 years. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

 

RCSign: Just realized that yours is the Silverstone (limited) so it is not the "exact" same other than the year (2001) and type (xkr). Also, the one I am interested in is a coupe. Do you know what year the trim on the trunk started being offered in black? Or is that a mod that some folks do by painting? Thanks.
