Hello all, I have been lurking for several weeks. I have never owned a European car or a convertible for that matter. So I thought I would do my homework on this car before I get it. I will be picking the car up tomorrow. I am receiving the car a payment for some construction work I am doing for a good customer of mine. The original owner died about two years ago and his wife is letting go of the car. It has 36 k on it and has been garaged all its life. It needs a good cleaning as it has not been out much in the last two years. I will have the car all week before I decide to accept the car or take cash. I may be asking some of those dumb questions this week so bear with me guys. I thank all of the contributors here for helping me make an informed decision. Regards, Chris

 

Welcome to the forum Chris,

Could be a good deal. let us know how the test goes.

 

Welcome to the forum Chris head out to the XKR section and read away.

You could also be doing the lady a very good turn, and not just financially, she must be sad to be parting with her deceased husbands car. Never easy.

Well I picked it up today and have been having a great night doing some spirited driving with a big grin on my face. Thanks for all the welcomes to the sight. So far I am pretty happy with the XKR. No real problems other than me trying to figure everything out. What is the first switch on the gear selector console for? I know well what the second one is "S" for Sensational.
I figured it out, Cruise Control!!!

 

Hello and welcome to jaguarforums.com.

Oh one other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model when you get the car. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.

 

I added the details of the car to my signature.
