Not to be crass, but I've placed a Wanted ad in the forum classifieds: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/market/263676

(Thanks for any help or leads with my search. Much prefer to buy from a forum member)

 

A couple of thoughts. I would recommend removing your phone number and deal via PM. Also in the ad, you might want to list the options/preferences (color, mods, preferred mileage, etc) you're looking for. Good luck. Hope you find one.

 

Thanks Sean!
I removed my phone number, as you suggested.
Also, I'm pretty easy when it comes to colors, etc. Like to find a car with ACC (adaptive cruise), but wouldn't rule out any nice candidate.

 

I know where there is a 2010 Vert , just needs a Motor

 

Hey Mud,
Nice stable of cars you have there!
(I'm focusing on a coupe, complete with motor ; ) )

Forum members here are great; number of leads and tips by PM. Appreciate every one...

 

Hisport,

I left a reply in your classified. There's a good chance my XKR will be up for sale soon as much as I hate to let it go. If you're interested, big if, we can put it in the public forum so everyone gets to kick a tire or two.

cheers

 

Thanks Buddha!
(I sent you a PM just now)
Promise I'll give your baby a loving home...

 

Believe I've found a worthy XKR; 2011 model, well cared for by a forum member.Many thanks to all who helped in my search!

 

Congratulations, you'll not be sorry. My 2010 has been the best automobile I've ever owned in 55 years of driving, and I still look forward to driving it everyday even after 200,000 miles!

 

Thanks, Tberg!

(In 2016, I bought an old '07 XJR as a lark - I just really liked the looks - figuring it would be an unreliable disaster. Well, it drove really nicely, so I went through it and fixed all the common problems, and dang if it didn't STAY fixed. So, I kept it, and kept taking long trips in it, and now its up to ~ 155K miles; still running - and looking - better than ever)

The 2011 X150 is the nicest condition 2010+ XKR I could find...around 50K mi; v well looked after (I believe) by a forum member. My plan is to use it for long trips, and give "Nanny" an occasional rest.

If JLR still made the X150, I would buy a new (or CPO) XKR. Somehow, The F Type just doesn't ring my bell...
These days, driving a 911 Porsche (I've had a few), SL Mercedes, or 6/8 series BMW, means being immediately typecast as somebody I'm not. Basically, nobody knows what a Jag is, which I like. Its unpretentious...

This after a lifetime of German cars, some much newer, none of which have been as reliable and pleasurable as my old XJR. I still have a couple Germans (M3 and Westfalia), but will soon part with 'em. My first BMW was a 2002 coupe; second a 2002tii. Nobody knew what they were, which I liked...

 

Hey John, here's one that's 5,500 miles from new and looks it. I saw this car today. Pricey perhaps, but as new as one is likely to find now.https://www.jaguarpalmbeach.com/used...y=years&page=1

cheers,

Thanks, H
(Beautiful car. I'm committed to JWS, however, pending normal due diligence)

I believe if Jag PB included a CPO warranty, this would be an ideal car for many folks...

 

Stick with the 175, it'll always be special, much more than a newer one with less miles today, especially as the miles add up and time slips away
