Default NY XJR says whats up to everyone

Hey everyone,

I'm a college student, and I am fortunate to own a used 2004 XJR. I just came from a 2003 Mercedes E500, and when I get back into it, I can't help but say to my self my benz is broken (slow). I fell in love with this car when I was around 15. I was looking for an M5 like car, and after some research, I showed the 1999 XJR to my dad and he bought it and loved it. We sold that one a few years later, and he got the 2004. All I have to say is the 1999 is much more of a beauty in my opinion, but the 04+ is just an all around more practical car. Coming from a world dominated by mercedes and bmw, the jaguar is a sight for sore eyes.

Thanks for the welcomes everyone.

I have a few pictures, but they are a bit dated. I will try to post some updated ones, but here are a couple. More are in my garage.

I'm looking to sell those aftermarket rims because they vibrate horribly in the New York roadways, and try to pick up a set of 18inch rims, but the big brakes are making it a task.

Strateloss, as tempting as it sounds I'm looking for cash. I'm looking to get 600- 900 with 4 wheels and tires. The decision isn't final, but most likely will be getting rid of them, because the vibration is starting to get annoying.
