Good luck with the F-car and have fun. It is a lifetime experience.

 

I found a one owner 2007 XK with 34,966 miles. I've had it 10 weeks and put an additional 1K on it. I'm anxious for spring weather!

 

Enjoy it Maurice! As noted in another thread, the clock is ticking for all of us no matter our stage of life. These cars are meant to be enjoyed - drive 'em! I bought my XKR with 29,000 miles on it and just sold it with over 91,000 miles after 6 years.
My "new" 2001 Ferrari has only 26,000 miles on it. I plan to drive it much more than the previous owner.... no need to "save" it!


Cheers!

 

By the way I hope you had the 30K service done before you bought it. Otherwise you might want to take a sedative prior to getting the bill. Enjoy

 

Yes sir! That was one of the reasons I purchased the particular car that I did. The previous owner was very meticulous with service records and even had the pre purchase inspection performed at Ferrari of San Fransisco on his own dime prior to putting it up for sale. Still had 90% clutch life left and new Pirelli P-Zero tires to boot! I'm hoping to have smooth sailing for a couple years! (fingers crossed)

 

109,000 and still still looks and handles like new. Serviced every 10,000 by authorized dealer using only genuine jaguar parts. Not even thinking of getting a new car

 

2009 Portfolio just hit 90K miles. Daily driver that has given me no trouble other then 2 water pumps. No creeks, rattles, still going strong.

 

109,100 miles on my 2007 XK convertible. All scheduled service since new by authorized dealer using only OE parts. Not even thinking of getting a newer car. This one's a keeper!

 

2012 XKR. 32K miles. But I bought it with 25 or 26K last April.

I work from home, so it gets driven for me to pick up lunch and during weekends. Haven't had a chance to really take it anywhere too far.

 

Our 09 XKR Portfolio has 4800 miles on it...

 

Unfortunately for us.... our cars are not in the category of "super cars" and although super low miles helps bring our values to the higher end of what their values are in general....depreciation still greatly out ways any preservation of overall worth. It's an entirely different story if we had a Lambo or Ferrari or Audi A8 where low mileage is a must in order to even sell the car. Yes, it's nice to have the low miles, but when push comes to shove and we are actually trying to sell our cars, I don't think the low miles will help us get much more than a few thousand dollars more being we own Jaguars. If owners of XK/XKRs are keeping their cars in the garage to preserve values, it would probably be much more cost effective to drive the s...t out of them and really enjoy them. Yes, my car has has low miles as well (9,200 miles/2010 XK Coupe) but I just don't drive it very much (OCD) and save it for the great weather and special occasions

 

Agreed. The main reason we keep ours low mileage is not to maintain its value, but because its the car for special occasions and the odd weekend drive, so it doesn't get driven as much as it probably deserves to be...

 

2008 XKR, just purchased a month ago. 66,000 miles.
