Default Looking for a xkr coupe 07 08 in the 30s to 40 range

Hey Guys,
I just joined the forum and been a Bmw enthusiast for about 10 years. About 6 months ago fell in love with the Jaguar line up especially the XKR. I have been looking for a 07 or 08 coupe in grey or silver preferably in the 30 to 40 k range. Currently found one , a 07, with 35k miles, silver with black interior 20 inch senta wheels price is 38,200 what do you guys think condition is good. I did see something the dealer ships said with the left exhaust baffle motor acting up not sure what that even is . Let me know what you guys think and whats a good price for something in this range.

Welcome to the forum,

You would do well to ask in the XK / XKR section as you'll get a better response there.
Happy hunting.

Happy hunting for an XKR ! I understand the exhaust system has valves which can be operated by the ECM to make the car growl more loudly.

I just bought my XKR less than a month ago at Hennesey Jaguar in Atlanta. I believe they had a silver 2008 there. Depending on mileage you can definitely find one in the range you mentioned and it was initially my range as well. I did go higher for for a couple of reasons. Most of the cars in good shape in that range had a tendency to be closer to 50k miles but it sounds like you have one with lower mileage. The second was the low financing they offered which I felt saved me a few thousand compared to what I would done otherwise. The car also came with a warranty and was certified. Best of luck to you, I love my car!

How are these cars to Maintain I"m coming from a bmw which I had for 10 years so not familiar with these. The bmw had intervals of inspection 1 and 2 and oil changes every 7 to 8 k for about 100 bucks or so.
