I'm totally in love with the lines of the 2007 + XK and must have one NOW!

Alright, not immediately but soon.
I'm here to see what I can see about them. I'm entertaining the idea of getting rid of my 1983 911SC and my daily driver and buying an XK.

Yes, I'm scared to death of the old stigma of how bad a car Jags are.
Feel free to encourage me.
Thanks

Thank you, gentleman, for the warm welcome.

I've been a german car guy (older VWs and Porsches) for a long time and I do most of the work on my cars myself. This venture would be my first time with a "fairly new" car let alone anything with a computer

I've done some looking on the interwebs in an attempt to find out the "problems" with these cars (2007 + XKs) and the only things I find are the antenna and the exhaust drone issues. As well as some of the warning lights if you tend to be "aggressive" in your driving habits. Annnd, that people don't like having to go through the menu to adjust things.
I'm not the kind of guy who thinks any car should forever act as if it did the day it came off the show room floor, and I expect there to be issues.
I just can't afford to have a car that leaves me stranded. I need a realistic amount of reliability. For most of the past 10 years I've had multiple vehicles so if one was down the other was there. My plans are to condense to one car, the XK. I do have a couple bikes that will do me in a pinch but my wife is not a big fan of me having to pick two kids up at school on a motorcycle

Is this a car for me?

 

Hey Mickey, just as a heads up my friend, this being the new member section, you're unlikely to get the specific replies you're looking for.

Please feel free to start a new thread in the model specific section and ask away there......the guyswill be happy to chime in I'm sure with their experiences

Good luck........

 

Welcome to the forum.

Get the XK and a trailer for the bike. You can always plonk the kids in that, if you need to.

 

Thats a GREAT idea!!!

 

Thanks, Jim. I know better. My bad.
