Torn between 2 XKR's which would you choose?
One white, one rodium silver
The white has (IMO) more presence but the silver (despite being 10 months older) has less than half the miles 17k over 42k
The silver also has up-to-date FJSH with the white last being serviced by dealer in Dec 2016, so is almost 2 behind
Natch the silver is a little more expensive but have already got them to reduce the price by 10% for a cash sale over the phone...which I've never heard of before!?
So which would you choose and why?

I would only base my decision purely on the mileage factor. If color is not a factor in your decision then go with the Silver one. Considering there are most likely no option differences I think the less mileage would be the better choice. I'm not a fan of either color but overall condition would also be a consideration. So assuming no chips or dents or wear marks take the one with best overall condition. Good luck.

Even though I have a silver XKR coupe like you're considering, it would not have been my first choice as silver cars are far too common; it's the "new" white! And white is even more common, and a bit more boring. A plus for the silver is that it nearly never looks dirty. So, besides the added bonus that it has far less mileage, I'd choose the silver over the white. And at least there are some black accents on the car to break up the monotony. I added some black accents to mine to do the same. And I have the black Kalimnos wheels as well. Good luck with whichever car you end up purchasing.

I'm normally a big of white vehicles with black inserts/black wheels etc
For some reason the white doesn't really suit our cars whether it makes the coupe to appear longer larger I'm unsure
On the other had the silver really suits our coupes makes them look extremely elegant
Silver all day long !

Will let you know when i view both tomorrow.
Silver has standard interior whereas white has the upgraded seats, as seen below, which does lift the interior.
With regards to exterior colour my brethren stateside need to take into account country variances, so whilst white cars and pick-ups might be common where you are, they are a rarity in the UK, esp in sports coupés. The downside of white is that those that like the colour (17-30yr olds) invariably can't afford to buy or insure it, overweight 50+yr olds won't want a white car...but they are usually the only ones that can afford one
Don't think you see the colour that much from the inside regardless Plus I intend to keep the car for 10+years

Am 53 and seldom remember it getting much above 85F here in the UK as to make a cooled seats an unused feature...plus I don't sweat
Right, time to go and see them!
