A friend of mind is looking to purchase a privately owned 2011+ XKR Coupe. He prefers a black interior with clean title history and he's willing to travel anywhere in the U.S. for the right one. If you have any leads please PM me.

 

If looking for a 2011+, why rule out the 2010s? The 2010 models all came with extra stuff that were options in later years. 2012+ were facelift years, so if anything it should be either 2010+ or 2012+ years to bracket options/styles.

 

He said the 2010's did not have backup cameras. I think he may have meant he is interested in 2012+ models.

 

Ayup, the 2011's didn't either.

 

Don't let the lack of a factory backup camera stop you from buying an XK/XKR. Costco sells a wireless, solar-powered and easy DIY installation for $125. I have one and like it. See: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...option-206212/

 

Its an IQ test. Confucius said 'Man who pass on race car due to towing capacity deserve minivan'

We're not talking about race cars or towing capacity. What are you getting at?

Jaguar probably added the backup cam in later years due to demand. They come standard on pretty much all cars now and it's just one of those features he wants.

 

Just sent you an email. thanks

 

That's actually pretty slick!

 

Just pointing out to be helpful; dont let the lowest and easiest priority be the limiting/deciding factor.
They are so easy that they can be added retroactively by any housewife.
This is a sports tourer, get the most sports tourer for your money, all else is incidentals.

 

The search continues. 2010+ with black interior.

 

Does your friend have $200K to drop? Or even $160K? Or even $130K?

 

No. Why?

Those are some pretty incredible examples! I think he's looking for more of a daily driver in the 30k range.

 

Yeah, those last two links will be around for a LOOOONNNGGGGGG time. Somebody picked the wrong car to try to make some 'quick' profit.

 

I browse X150's on a fairly regular basis, those certainly made me o_O.

Right now Auto Trader has a much better selection than Car Guru's does.

A year ago it was the other way around.
