considering a 2008 XKR
In the complete carfax there are items listed as "electrical system checked", "convertible top operation checked" and others. Is this scheduled preventative maintainance checks or problems being repaired?
Thank you in advance.

Those are just regular maintenance. Mine even had some entries about certain modules being reprogrammed and electrical systems repaired. I'd rather have the systems checked/repaired than not. As long as everything is currently working and you get an AGM battery or maintainer, it should be fine.

2008 XKR Porfolio conv.
If you haven't pulled the trigger yet, this car was $106,700 new. Its a 2008 XKR Portfolio with 18,000 miles. Only 138 Portfolio convertiables shipped to the US. This one has the hand rubbed walnut dash. Celestial Black is has the blue flecs and looks black on a cloudy day but blue in sunlight and under artificial light. Google 2008 Portfolio XKR and read the Car and Driver and Dupont articles. You will fall in love. They want $46,000 but that is a fair price.

Nice find with one owner and low mileage. When someone finds an XKR like this, you have to jump on it. This one won't last long. The dark Blue with the Beige interior has a real "rich" look. In addition, it looks like it has the Alcon brake system which was about a $5000 option. (Note the red calipers) Very nice find.
Carfax looks very clean with no reported problems at all:

If I wanted another XKR, this would be a great choice.

And PLEASE: get a battery minder (CTEK is just about the best), install it permanently, and use it when the Jaguar is not in use. The XK has very heavy electrical power needs; if the battery cannot provide full volktage, you will get very odd and very random "failures" and warning lights - none of which are failures; all of them are the result of low or erratic battery voltage. Once you ensure correct voltage there will be no problems. These are very reliable, wonderful cars.
