New (to me) 2012 XK
My new (to me anyway) 2012 XK convertible was just delivered this morning. I flew across the country last weekend to look at it and buy it. Most importantly my wife was happy with it when it arrived. Polaris white over caramel.
We bought this to replace our '91 XJS convertible that was recently totaled. Some dimwit turned left in front of my wife and really messed up the old Jag. I spent the past year re-doing everything on it. We decided to get something a little more modern that will keep the passengers cool in the 115 degree Tucson summer heat.
We have had a coupe and convertible XK8's and a host of other Jags so we are not new to the brand. This seems to be a great car and I will be asking for advice on this forum about our latest addition.

Welcome to the XK world. You will definitely enjoy the 5L XK. Two suggestions for accessories:
1. The Jagwrangler's remote top and rear window controller. As a matter of fact there is a promo on right now, on lucky winner will get a new remote top controller. See the first or second entry on the "home page" for X150 (XK and XKR). If you don't win it. the got to thejagwrangler.com. for more information and ordering.
2. A rear wind deflector to fit in the back seat area. This can be ordered from Mina Galleries in LA or Adamesh in the UK. Jaguar has a factory deflector as well, but it would cost about double of either of the other two. I have an Adamesh deflector and I am quite pleased with it.
Finally when you have a chance please post some pics of your new ride.
