I spent a few hours looking over engine compartments on BAT, Cars.com etc. Good catch!
2012 coupe:


2013 vert:

 

Well the saga continues.

Drove a 13 w.70,000 miles, absolutely gorgeous black with dark brown interior. Texas Car. It needed tires very badly. It drove well but very rough ride. Not sure I can attribute all to the tires, (dealer said they were within spec....nah).

Handled great, drove straight, good brakes. Would the suspension/shocks be in need of upgrade/replacement at 70k??

As for new tires......would all seasons be a bad idea vs say the P-Zero or Conti's?

 

Interesting color. Had to replace a front strut (did both) at 43,800 miles on my 2007. Have Conti DWS 06’s on mine, softer ride.

 

How OLD are the installed tires? Wear condition is only half the story.

I wouldn't be able to handle that interior brown, it would make me sad.

 

Not sure of the date and I'm at office.

But...OMG, I LOVE that color!

 

Those Conti's would be my choice as well. Not too aggressive.

 

I had the Dunlop’s installed once, many years ago now…. and had them promptly removed.
Yes, the ride was harsh and without grip.

It never hurts to change a suspension…. but “need a new one” on a mere 70k?? Not to sure about that.
Cheers

 

If I may keep this thread going.

Drove another 2013. Had extensive service history which was heartening. Until I read through the $7,000 invoice. Apparently, the engine overheated, (T-stat??), to the point that it fried all of the plastic and rubber under the hood. Happened about 38,000 miles ago. Dealer did all the work, didn't say if under warranty but I'm glad to see it was a Jaguar dealer rather than an indy.

Car has 66,000 on it, pretty clean...but it too needs tires!!..

Gotta assume if they did it wrong back then it would have soiled the sheets by now.

I'm thinking not a deal killer for me.....$22k.....

Any thoughts on that massive melt down going forward?

 

38,000 miles ago? Don’t think I’d worry about it.

 

How extensive was the service history after the overheating issue? If the documentation suddenly thins out, I'd be wary.
