My new XK
So after a long search I've finally bought one!
She's a late 2009 5.0 XK Portfolio coupe in Pearl Grey metallic with black interior and less than 100K miles. Recent set of tyres all round, full history and new discs/pads front & rear.
Overall in very good condition although I think the battery is probably due for replacement.
160 mile trip back from picking her up was sheer joy.

I have a 2009 XKR Portfolio 4.2 Pearl Grey with the white interior and my coupe has shiny metal side vents. I really like the body colored side vents on your coupe.
I need to look into seeing if they will fit my car.
Does anyone know why we have different cars with the same year?
Were the 4.2 and 5.0 just different engine options?

Optional engine displacements were never offered in any X150 model year. All 2007 - 2009 models were 4.2L, and all 2010 - 2015 models were 5.0L, although various power levels were available as options.
What does the word "year" mean? There's calendar, year, model year, and registration year. Read this old thread to clear up the confusion:

You're in Mississippi, and your 2009 XKR Portfolio has a 4.2L supercharged engine rated at 420HP. The exterior is not Pearl Grey and the interior is not White. All 2009 XKR Portfolio models were Shadow Grey with a choice of leather interior colors, either Charcoal with Cranberry stitching or Ivory with Slate stitching. There are many threads on this Forum about the 2009 XKR Portfolio. See:

This is the right side vent on my 2009 XKR Portfolio.
Enlarge the photos to see the details. They're illuminated turn signals, and are milled from a solid block of cast aluminum, have mesh screens, and are highy polished. That's why a set costs $2,000 instead of $200.

But, as a salesguy told me once, the price of an object is whatever a buyer is willing to pay, irrespective of it's actual cost.

wow. thats a lot of damage. glad you're ok
when i was looking for my jag i basically did a daily search of multiple websites ( cars.com, autotrader, carsforsale, kbb, cargurus etc ... )
some even send you a daily email
things are popping up all the time. may take a bit to find what you want but they seemed to be quite dynamic to me.

Correct! Same with my previous BMW, whenever they updated a car they introduced it one year earlier in the Euro market. Then the next year they were available in the USA. I always figured it was a way to empty out the old inventory. And slow boat!
