My one thought: those diamond-quilted seats mean Dynamic Pack which is good-news-bad-news for me. Good news: car has performance active exhaust. Bad news: no cooled seats.

 

Are you looking for one - I don't care for the seats - car looks good though.

 

Listing is inaccurate. Shows vehicle having a six cylinder engine? What else is inaccurate?

 

I know the owner. He screwed up on that (I haven't mentioned it....). Come on, it's a data-entry error. But I also know he's got a terrific nose for good quality/condition used cars. He knows his stuff. There are no dogs on his lot.

 

If it were me, I would go look at it and drive it. Then, if you are still interested in it PPI from Rusnak who you used on your last XK. Are the service records available? I would want to get a look at them too. Particularly as regarding water pump and hose conditions and repairs. Happy hunting.

 

I thought it would get better gas mileage with a 6 cylinder engine.

 

Looks like a straight car. At almost 50,000 miles and at that price, I’d do a thorough inspection as it looks like all the money. Good luck.

 

Checked the CarFax. Not much of a service history. Of course, CF doesn't always get everything. Quick review shows Owner 1 leased for 4 years and drove 10k/yr. Great dealer service. Owner 2 had the car 2 years. Drove 6,800/yr. No service history. Third owner drove 2k in 2.5 yrs. That's 800/yr. Kind of a red flag for me. Means it sat a lot. No service history.

LOL I briefly considered a 2007 XK. Seller provided CarFax (as pictures which was pretty odd). Car sat for 4 years at one point. Red flag. He clearly needed to sell the car but lots of rain in several weeks. Proposed I test drive it in the rain. Then, I could check operation of the top while in the garage. Car deals always have a vibe. This one was weird. I emailed no thanks. Got multiple emails cursing me. Never know w/ Craig's.

 

With covid and work from home, seeing cars with recent lower mileage history is unsurprising.

 

specially if it's a second (or third) car.

 

All good points. Just realized that I've put only 1,500 miles on my 06 in 1 year. I do drive it regularly. The PO drove it only 500 miles in the year he owned. It felt and sounded a little rough. I started driving it regularly w/ with higher speed freeway miles and some hard acceleration occasionally. Now quiet and smooth. So seems like low mileage ok as long as it gets started and driven regularly.

 

No way I'm driving it yet. If it's solid I'll want to buy it then and there.
I am gonna stalk it though-- though I doubt it'll make it down to $30K.

 

I think it may get down to 35K over time, but, probably not much lower.

 

SOLD (no, not to me)
I know these guys and they dont come down much on price. Prob went for $41K.
