Any opinions?

Grand Prix Motors Inc. | 2008 Jaguar XKR Portfolio Coupe 2D Rare One Owner 420 HP

 

Looks well priced to me, but I haven't researched and compared; just shot from the hip. I am not much for the aftermarket upper & lower grill.

 

Equipped with 2 rare options- adaptive cruise and Alcon brakes. I recommend paying a local Jaguar dealer for a pre-purchase inspection and service history before negotiating price with seller. OEM grilles might be under the aftermarket ones.

Above sent from my smartphone; didn't include my signature. I wanted to mention that the Portfolio interior is all leather - everything you would expect and then some; no vinyl, period. So you have to take care of it, particularly the dash cover since they are known to shrink. If it passes the Jag dealer's inspection, you should also inspect it very carefully. Jag dealers' inspections primarily cover mechanical aspects; cosmetics and body repair usually aren't mentioned. You may also want to have a reputable body shop look it over, too, since the chassis and body are aluminum and expensive to repair.

Since this 2008 Portfolio is equipped with Alcon brakes, it doesn't have a compact spare. Instead, it has an inflator kit and 12v air compressor. If you must have a compact spare, it is possible to add one.

I am very pleased with my 2009 Portfolio.

Sounds good to me and like Stuart said two RARE options. I have seen very few for sale with the adaptive cruise and hardly any with the brakes here on the euro side. The adaptive cruise is imo a pretty neat feature.

 

Why don't you check the price against Kelley Blue Book, cars.com and or edmunds? I have found them, to be relatively accurate. Particularly Edmunds and Kelley.

 

Thanks for the replies, all good information.

 

It was such a beautiful vehicle, I had to purchase it.........

 

When do you pick her up?

If you aren't driving it very often get a battery tender...
