Default Is this car cursed?

I like browing XKR's.

This one has a color combination I've never seen before.

https://www.atlantaautos.com/used-ve...xkr-c-7764.htm

https://www.carfax.com/VehicleHistor...WA4DC6AMB34738

However....

Mirror replaced
Starter replaced
Engine/powertrain computer/module replaced"
Front window regulator(s) replaced
Door lock actuator(s) replaced
Weatherstrip replaced
Speedometer assembly replaced

These are not things I'm used to seeing on the Carfax of a XKR.

Not all at the same time, but just odd.

Cursed car?

And a caramel interior, very rare on 5.0L XKR's.

Carfax shows accident, a story of electrical gremlins, and some unexplained fixes (struts on an almost new car in 2013? - Front shock absorber(s) replaced - Rear shock absorber(s) replaced) Why?! What was original owner doing to the car for the first 35,000 miles that it needed all-around suspension work 2 months into 2nd ownership?!

Last 9 mo ownership suggests dumping of a problematic car - 2 visits 03/28/2019 and 05/03/2019 and only 450 miles driven in-between. What wasn't fixed on a second visit (and decision to trade-in was made)?

It needs to be deeply discounted and thoroughly inspected.

I believe that was an old auction back around 2012... Which would explain the price... I just gave the link because I knew of the car...

Car still for sale.
I wonder how low it will go for.

The longer a car sits, the more problems it can get.

If it were closer, the color combination would at least have me out to look at it.

If I were into masochism, I would have purchased that car for over asking. Because I was very naughty and have to be punished by having to tear out the interior to trace electrical gremlins. Put my leather mask on and start checking ground connections.
