I just purchased an XJR
Greetings,
Very excited today I just bought a 2005 XJR with 74,500 on the clock. It is black on black with nice wood trim and stock rims.
So, I have been shopping quite diligently for about a year. But I never ran across the right car at the right price with the proper provenance. This is the second vehicle I have purchased from the internet. The first is a Toyota truck that I bought in Iowa in 2000. I still have it and it runs like a top.
My Jag, I like the sound of that "my Jag", is waiting for me in Southern California, tan rested and ready to come to Colorado.
The gentleman I purchased it from is a great guy; he has even offered to pick me up at the airport.
The car has extensive service history with the single owner at the same Jag dealership. I liked that!! I even called the dealership's service manager about the car and he knew of it. Said it was the wife's DD, the wife's double D's, LOL, and indicated it was in great shape.
So here is the plan, my girl and I are flying to CA on Friday 6/1 and road tripping it back to Denver over the next 4 days. We plan to dive about 4 hrs. a day and just have some fun. We both like to golf so we are going to take a travel set and stop in Las Vegas, Mesquite and another place to be determined to play a few rounds. Then it's off to Moab and Arches National Park. It should be a great trip.
Here is a link to the AutoTrader listing. I will post picture when I can.

The typical stuff. Look at the tires. Go over some low speed bumps and listen for squeaks and groans. Maybe the West Coast is not hard on the suspension bushings and boots.
Less than 10 seems like a good price for one that is well maintained.
