I have decided to sell one of my xk's. Have 09 vert with 48k and 10 coupe with 28k. coupe still has one month full warranty plus 2yr cpo left. Checking prices I think values are pretty close. My wife rarely drives the vert and I find myself alternating which one I drive. Not a bad problem to have as I love both of these cars but have decided to decrease my decadence. Any helpful suggestions from my expert friends on the forum would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Sell the vert.

 

Trade one for a 2013 XJ 5.0L Supercharged. I just got one and love it.

 

sorry keep the vert

 

How can you NOT have at least one convertible in Florida?

 

If you sell both and get an R8 you're forgiven. I'd keep the Coupe since it's the new and improved version.

 

I knew you would vote to keep the coupe because we have identical cars, except for the miles.

 

Actually....I honestly never looked at either of your cars....however, it's not a bad color combo. Good luck with whatever you decide. It's only a car. (Are you in SE Florida?)

 

Trade both for a new or newer vert.

 

Trade both for a Vantage S

 

North central horse country

 

NOW THAT'S TEMPTING! Wish you didn't put that thought in my mind!

 

Heck, even the Vantage GT is coming in at under 100K new at my local dealer.

 

Vert is gone, traded in on new ford edge for my daughter's med school graduation gift. Gave me $31500 for trade in plus saved 2k on taxes. Start my new life today as one xk man.

 

sell both and get a 5.0 vert!

Vert > coupe
5.0 > 4.2

tough decision indeed!

 

Congrats on your daughters med school graduation. That's quite an honor for both the daughter and mom and dad. Trading the 2009 XK convertible for a new car for daughter really reminded me of this video.

You have to watch this. It really brings home a strong message about life in general.

 

That would upset me more as I was not to happy with the color. Then again I bought a 71 and it was Burnt Orange. LOL

 

My parents are in Inverness - sounds like you're near Ocala. Inverness is like purgatory... people there aren't really still living and aren't quite dead - it's the last place they go before they die. The median age is 78 in Inverness!

 

One drawback: My recently retired boss has a DB9. He was at his grandson's football game in early October and a blue truck backed into his rear end and drove off. Several people saw it, but didn't get the license plate number. It wasn't a huge amount of damage, but enough that the fender, rear lights, trunk and a number of other items need to be repaired or replaced. I had lunch with him the last week of November and we were going to park our cars (my XK) next to his and note the similarities and differences...but he showed up without his AM.

I said "Where's the car?"

After a flurry of colorful profanity, he told me the story of the blue truck and then said "it gets worse". He said that the car has been at the repair shop since early October and that they've been having trouble getting parts, he added, it turns out they have to coordinate back with the UK and have the parts hand-made and that takes forever. He also added, he's having trouble with his insurance company because the bill was $26,000 and climbing as of the time of our lunch.

 

Thanks Richard,
My wife and I just watched video, we are very proud of our daughter, it was a no brainer for us to get rid of on one of the jags as we had 4 cars and 2 drivers at home. Just gives me twice as much time to keep the coupe shined.
p.s. LOVE THE Ctek 3300. should have bought one a yr ago, thanks for your advice, bob
