Hi All,

After 40 years of safe cycling a car cut me off two years ago and slammed me and my triumph to the pavement! I survived with a titanium left wrist, definitely took the hint, and am now looking to indulge my British heritage in a bit more secure manner. I've been specifically looking into picking up a Sunday driver. I'm mechanically inclined (despite the additional hardware), have worked on BMW and Volvo's, and love to tinker so I'm looking for an XKR to have some fum with. I want to spend about 20k on a good car and have my eyes on this

Cars for Sale: 2006 Jaguar XKR Convertible in Westwood, NJ 07675: Convertible Details - 358231812 - AutoTrader.com

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

welcome to the forum and soon to be member of the Jag family plenty of info and support here just follow the links Graham has provided

 

Welcome!

 

The US model year 2006 will be in the "Modern" section under XK8/XKR. Seriously check out the 2007 model. The body changed, and maybe the engine, too? The 2007-9 XKR is a rocket ship, but may be more pricy.
