Default AutoHaus of Sylvania, OH

So there is a XKR im interested in there as a daily driver. I have a G37S for trade in. I get nothing but attitude. Anybody ever dealt with them before? They have decent feedback on the internet but one of the worst experiences over the phone Ive ever had. Worse they were local, so no driving up and getting the car lickety split!!

Default TOPix build XK-RS and XKR combo really?

Confusing build: TOPix says it has an XK-RS tune and XK-RS sills. Pictures do not show XK-RS sills. Will need to contact Jaguar to ascertain build. Would be nice to have the XK-RS tune in a XK-R.

THEY HAVE THE WRONG VIN LISTED FOR THE CAR. WHAT'S UP WITH THIS!!!

All you have to do is Google the VIN ....then start your research. Car was originally from state of MD. Lots of info on Google search.

Car was for sale in May 2013 for $72,998. I bet it was auctioned off and ended up in Ohio dealership. CarFax will provided detailed into. An Autocheck report is already on line for viewing via google search.

The VIN you provided is for a 2012 Black XKR with about 10,200 miles on it. Is this the car you're looking at?

I dont want it to be a racecar...so "regular" XKR with blackpack is MSRP 100,000 dollars. I would be getting this one with 8 months use and 10k miles for 72,899 with plenty of warranty left. Prolly the right way to go. DONT LIKE Sylvania, OH. I love that car but they PISSED ME OFF!!! They can keep there XKR!!!

Congratulations on your new ride. You selected a nice Jaguar.

I am sure that you will love the car, and will be excited to have it delivered.

It's always allot of fun when the car transport calls and tells you it is near the house. The excitement really builds.

I love my XKR and I am sure you will enjoy yours for many years to come.

Post a few photos when you get it.

Default Wrong VIN

The car in Ohio has the wrong VIN listed. The VIN they are advertising for the car is from an XK-RS. Maybe that's why they are so arrogant. Obviously, they are careless.

Yep..the XKR-S is too hardcore...just not the kind of car you drive to work every day. This XKR should be just right. Cant wait to try out the heated and cooled seats. Most people feel the racing seats are amazing...i find them rough on my back even though i do agree..they look great!! I tend to sweat in the XKR-S so will love putting the cooling feature on. WOOHOO!!!

Lothar52,

Lothar, you have an R-S, and now an R as a daily driver? I must be in the wrong job…



Enjoy, mate - sounds like a nice car. And the cooled seats are great, though the sensation is a little odd the first time you experience it...

They're good for 3 seconds a lap at Mid-Ohio and make you an even cooler dude!

I'd be interested in hearing about your impressions of the nuances between the two models. Congrats!
