How’s the condition of the center dash? Right above the vents? My 2012 has slight pulling in that area. Jaguar Select warranty doesn’t cover trim and it’s... expensive to fix. I’m sure it can be stretched and touched up by non dealer.. but you may be able to get some $$ off the price.

I have done the Jaguar Performance Driving Academy; both phase 1 and phase 2. 1 is a half day session and 2 is a full day session. I took them at the same time and believe I got more out of them that way rather than going on two separate spread out occasions. I strongly recommend them if they work for you as to dates and location.

As a friend of mine used to say "you'll get more a** than a toilet seat."
But I gotta ask: insurance??? That's what gonna kill you.

It's interesting actually, the insurance for the XK is actually lower than for my brother's Ford Fusion.
That's odd. Jaguars have been expensive to insure in my locale. My Astons were both cheaper to insure than the our Jaguar XE.

Also, off topic but I see F-Types far more than I see XKs, and I’ve never seen another XKR driving around, though I’ve seen F-Type SVRs. Any reason for this?
I think insurance companies base it off of where you are, the specs of the car, crash statistics for that car in the area, cost of repairs, and average driver base.

Add in the 2008 crash and recession took a lot of buyers off the market. That's a reason the 2007 was the most produced. With the current MAGA trend I expect to see a good many more high end cars on the road.

I’m in Atlanta, and in the Marietta area it’s almost nothing but luxury cars. Hopefully things will stay like this for a long time to come.

Me, I got an extra $48 per month on my retirement pay. Gee, thanks. Guess I can buy a couple Hot Wheels cars per week.

Red’s Auto detail is also in Marietta, just west of the square on Whitlock ave. I highly recommend bringing your car to them for a paint correction and ceramic coating. Those guys can seriously work some magic.

I’m also in Marietta (5 minute drive from the square). Keep your eyes peeled, you may see mine one day.
