Don't forget to take a couple quick pics and share with your new 'in-laws' here on the forum!

Dang, you weren't in a rush, but it only took you a few days to buy one! It took me over 6 months to find the one I wanted!

Congrats!

Only thing I've done to it was put in a new battery & new tires. The 4.2 engine, albiet a bit sluggish compared to a 5.0 engine, makes no difference to me. It's bullet proof they tell me. The XK series are nothing but pure class. Owned 2 Jags in past - one an XJ-S was a pain-in-the-***(I owned it for 17 yrs).

$63. grand is a lot of bucks - remember they depreciate a lot during the 1st 4-5 yrs! Hope you got your moneys worth. I'm envious.!!!!

I paid mine $82. and 6 months after, the 3 on sale have more miles for the same price i paid, i actually did not loose anything right now 6 months after, and i guess i will not loose more than 5000 euros in 6 months, the value hold ok with the xkr 5 liters.

Call around for the Insurence as it varies greatly. I went from 760 every 6 months to 240 by going with Geico over Allstate.

Do you realize that you resurrected a thread from 2013? If not, you may be another victim of the Forum's "Infinite Scroll" feature. Lots of negative reviews here:
