I have a few, but I want to hear from you first. (Read the dealer notes)

$1495 for the windscreen? Thought they were around $600 when I looked a few years ago (don’t need one, as I already have the OEM one, but really?).
That scratch in the overhead console would bug me, so I guess they didn’t fix everything.

 

The dash leather is showing some shrinkage (to the right of the speaker panel), the driver’s seat bolster is worn (but can be easily redyed), some of the control buttons on the steering wheel are worn….frankly, it looks more “used” than the low mileage would suggest.

 

I have bought from Lake Bluff before. They are a standup outfit.
And a car with only 35K on the odometer! What’s there not to like. Oh sure you can nit pick this and that. But is something stands out as unreasonable, pick up the phone and discuss it with them. (I’m old school and the amount of traction I get on the phone in a few minutes far outweighs the back and forth nonsense of email or texts)

I for one think all pricing for anything used is out of whack these days…. I blame all the newbies with too much money in their pockets. (Even just buying a new watch or new glasses is an effort in negotiation with me… I don’t stand for retail. And everyone walks away pleased)

Cheers.

 

If in (close-to) mint condition, such a car might easily fetch between 50,000 and 60,000 Euros in Germany these days.

 

also the buttons on the consul are self destructing...there are several other scratches on the leather. So, beautiful car but it is over hyped in my opinion.

Really, my only question here is about the weird gunk on the steering wheel buttons. Best case, it just looks that way because they slathered it in ArmorAll.

I think $45k for it is probably not unreasonable, even if it's more than I personally would pay.

 

Very nice car. Good dealers check their ads. The ad has multiple mistakes, is badly written and not very believable. For instance, "repiutable Franchised Jagaur Dealer". LOL if a dealer can't spell Jaguar correctly, gotta wonder what else they got wrong. Agree about it being over sold. New dash and top probably means it spent lots of time in SoCal sun. Seems like for the asking price, the car should be flawless. For price comparison, a perfect 2013 Special Edition w/ 31k miles sold on BAT for 45. Totally agree on using the phone. It's quicker and you know if you're dealing w/ the general manager or some newly hired junior associate. I'm looking for same era XKR so interested in how this turns out. Good luck

 

FAR from a flawless car. Needs dash replacement, sticky buttons, scratch on interior trim, and very worn driver's seat for a low mileage car. The dealer should have least detailed the car better. Maintenance records should provide proof of coolant pipe replacement/water pump. This car seems to me to be no more than a $30-$35,000 car (considering the work that is required) before even looking further. Of course there is always an *** for every seat. Not an impressive looking car.

 

I agree with the above comments.

The exterior looks good but the scratches on the trim and the sticky buttons means it is only above average but not one for the perfectionist. I have no doubt the two PO's lavished MONEY on it but should have also lavished more CARE too.

Worn mechanical parts and paint faults are easily rectified as a normal part of vehicle preparation for sale. Trim faults are another issue altogether. Replacement is usually the only truly effective solution for cuts and scratches and where trim parts are available (always the first thing to disappear from JLR inventory), they are expensive.

Prices of used Jaguars in the US always surprise me as considerably higher than here in the UK but even our US members suggest this one is over priced.

Most of these 2011-2015 XK Convrtibles need $12-15k of work.


Perhaps at their shop......

 

The dealer seems to also be confused about the color. In the spec text, Lunar Grey, then, in the Dealer Notes, it’s ammonite Grey metallic. The notes also indicate, new dash leather, but pics show that the dash is starting to pull.

 

Only one key ??

 

They've over-egged the cake on this one.

Aside from the lower mileage there's nothing special about that car to warrant that price. If they detailed the $10-15000 worth of work they claim has been done to the car it might help make it seem a better deal.

 

Guys. I revert to my previous comments. That this is a stand up organization that values customers. Pick up the phone and start the negotiations if you’re interested. Reading and commenting on an advert is only the job part done.
My XJR was sourced there. And there was a significant difference between the advert and what I received following some simple, mature, gentlemanly like negotiations.

 

it appears that member pk4144 asked for comments regarding the subject XKR.
Seems like a reasonable request, on a Jaguar X150 forum, no?

 

Since I paid MUCH less for a seven-year newer (at the time, my 2010 in 2014) nearly perfect 2010 CPO warranty car with fewer miles, I'd say the $45,000 is totally ridiculous.

 

I don’t disagree with you @Cee Jay .
Even in realestate…. I think everyone is on crack, lol.

 

Also, so this thread won't become completely irrelevant once the ad gets removed, this:

 

I just noticed something.......
Someone in here not long ago told me that EVERY 2012 and newer XKR had a Speed Pack rear spoiler. I checked around and that seemed to be true.
THIS For Sale car does NOT. It has the same regular tiny rear spoiler. So wassup with that?
