The prices for an XKR are not too much higher at that mileage...

Or if you only want an XK, then how about this one? $23K and only 24K miles.

That is NOT a 2010, as it's a facelift model, so 2012+.
Either the guy put in the wrong year or it's a fraud ad.

Gregorynp,
Beautiful and fairly rare color, but is a bit overpriced as (others have said) it approaches XKR prices. They are wonderful cars, and you'll enjoy it once you commit to buying one. Good luck in your search.

Buyer Beware! Low prices because of rebuilt title, salvage title or branded title means that the vehicle has been written off due to collision, fire or flood damage or has been sold for scrap. Don't trust anything the seller tells you, and pay an experienced and knowledgeable Jaguar pro to do a thorough inspection before you decide to buy. You can't tell a book by its cover.

Gregorynp,
The '68 GTO is my favorite car of all time. Mine is taken apart and is going in for restoration as soon as I get my !972 De Tomaso Pantera back (after four years). Was your Verduro Green (which is what it looks like in the picture)? Mine is also Verduro. The Pantera may be coming home TODAY!!! But I've heard that a dozen times over the past year. We'll see.....

I don't believe the Pantera is ever coming back.

The next time you see the car, and no one else is looking, put a GPS tracker on it, so you can see how much fun the other guy is having.

Of course, it is. It's a cat that hasn't used all of its nine lives!

Why cold feet? Redflags? Or are you just not sure if youre making a good or bad call? Afraid of the Jaguar horror stories from xtype guys? Well dont fret too much. Reach into your pocket, grab your *****, throw em over your shoulder and charge!

many things. Hard to get a handle on the value. Selling for $4k more than NADA. I probably would buy an aftermarket Warrenty for $100 a month form 48/48 bumpier to bumper. Still thinking. May ask to take it to a Jag dealer for a service opinion.

I fully agree with the "over priced" part. It S/B about $4-5K less with that mileage.

I would personally pass on the warranty though. Just set that money aside every month just in case.
