Default First post and maybe looking at an 05 xkr this weekend

HI All,
First post and interested in an XKR. Actually a tossup between an xkr and maserati spyder ca 2003 or so. Haven't found any really good masers that I was able to get.

I've found an 05 XKR that may be going to look at this weekend. It's got 41k miles and car fax says one owner but it's listed as a corporate owner.

I've read the sticky's on buying xk8 and xkr. Any other tips to suggest or links to other info on buying? Do these cars exist in a manual tranny as all I've seen are autos.

BTW, I'm 49, and have lots of interesting cars over the years, tho my main passion for some years has been ducati aprilia and mv agusta motorcycles.

Thanks very much!
Chris

sorry, only automatic unless you want to use the manual j-gate.

Good solid car 05 models, make sure the engine mounts aren't collapsed...the 'r's tend to kill those pretty quickly.

good luck with the purchase!
