Ah, I see why.... no Adaptive Cruise Control.
Seriously though, that IS a good price.

That is really great for the price, but I have never been in an XK with that many miles... Even if you added 10K for upfront service needs that's still a solid buy.

It may need a suspension refresh. Not sure on the drive train side.

You can tell its highway miles- the driver's side seat bolsters are in good nick.

I wish it wasn't white or I'd be interested. And the seats are in surprisingly good condition (driver's side especially) for the mileage. In terms of shocks/suspension, I'd guess they're good for another 25-50K in my experience and not terribly expensive to replace. There is another car on ebay, a 2011 XKR with a salvage/rebuilt title of which the pictures of the previous damage are shown and not terribly significant. The car has very little mileage and has supposedly been repaired to factory specs. Depending upon where the price is six days from now, I may look at this car as well. Why not add a third XKR to my collection, Lothar has two, and I've got to go ahead of the "Joneses!"

You can tell the treatment by looking at the exhaust tips. My bet is it was a hard 71K.

Maybe that shows up better on a bigger screen, but from my phone it looks like the exhaust tips were 'blacked out' to match the rest of the car.

I haven't seen a wrap that could pull off the same look as a fantastic paint job.

Wraps are normally used for "off" finishes instead.

I've been looking into the different wraps, just haven't found one I really liked.

White with black pack is actually my second favorite color combination on a 2012+.

is Facepalm Emoticon. Facepalm is when a person is so exasperated by another person's inane comment that he puts his own hand to his face in Utter Disbelief.

I'm sorry, but I find the XKR-S downright ugly. I wouldn't have one on a bet! I seriously doubt Ian Callum had anything to do with this mangled redesign of his original masterpiece. Even if it had a hundred more horsepower than the "R", I just wouldn't be interested.

But it's only a little uglier than any other X150! The X100 was suave, the X150 not so much.
