Default Looking at a 2011 XK Vert

Looking a moving up to a 2011 XK Vert with 28K on it. Any areas I should pay special attention to on the pre-purchase inspection?

Didn't you just get that beautiful 2003 XK8? Switching so soon?

The 5.0 cars sorted out most of the glitches present in the 4.2s, like the aircon drain that blocks & causes a leak into the footwell. If possible, make sure any necessary software updates have been done. If you're buying privately, see if the vendor can get a printout from their dealer showing what updates have been applied (or get them to authorise the dealer to give it to you).

Yes and I love my 03 but have run across a good deal and am exploring my options, of course as they say if a deal sounds to good to be true than it probably is but I think I can flip my 03 for a tidy profit on Maui to help off set the cost of the 11.

Thanks for the replies, have searched the forum for article and issues and other than the leather issues the 11's up sound very good but of course they are still rather new on the road also.
