I sent you a pm. I hope. Need a price and mileage...

you guys offering to help transport it are great! thanks!

Default Last of the breed

only 669 XKR coupes (X100) and 985 xkr convertibles were made for the 2006 model year. Last one rolled off the line in May 2005 and then they tore the plant down.
The Beast is ready to roll.

I have a 2006 XKR Victory Black on Black with BBS 20" wheels and carbon fiber dash. We hardly drive it any more. It has 80K miles and is pretty nice. I have rebuilt the front end and a bunch of other work. It drives like a dream.
I am in Newnan GA south of Atlanta
If interested let me know I can send photos

You guys with the gorgeous coupes have got to stop offering them to me! Gads, I want them all. Especially Burl's. I need to block him. LOL

Thinking about it more last night, I think the convertible is what I'm going to go for. Yes, I know, I wrote in the first post that I really want a coupe, and I do, they're just gorgeous, but I have two other cars (not counting the wife's two cars) and it's much easier to justify a convertible since we don't actually have one of those. Although you can remove the top off of her Jeep, I can't stand driving that thing.

I see you have changed your mind regarding wanting a coupe. If you also decide that you will consider an XK8 vs. an XKR, I may be able to convince my wife to sell her beloved 2006 XK8 Victory Edition convertible (Onyx White exterior with Cashmere interior). It was her daily driver from February 2012 until November 2018. Now it is a toy. We need to downsize and I may finally be able to win the argument that it is time to let some of our toys go to other loving homes. Plus, I am no more than 30 minutes from you....

But then you'll be without a Jaguar! Whatever will you do with all of that free time?

Seriously, white with tan, isn't that a chick car? LOL, just kidding ladies.

I'm sticking with the XKR, but thanks for the offer!

First time I've ever heard an XK8 (regardless of color) called a "chick car". Miatas? Yep. Lexus RXs? Yep. BMW 3-series? Yep....

you are overthinking this thing. Obviously you should get rid of that stupid Jeep, then buy a pair of XKR’s, one coupe and one convertible.

PS sell any car that doesn’t get your blood moving faster. Life is way too short to drive boring.

Drive both. Being tall, I found the one coupe I drove to be claustrophobic and afterwards focused solely on drop-heads.

I agree with the second thought, totally.

The stupid Jeep is hers. It's not up for debate, or discussion. Kind of like the cats. No, not Jaguar cats. Annoying critters that have taken over my house.

Thanks wj. I don't care for silver. But this is what really did it for me: "picked this car up to send to my Dad in Calif. but cant get a transporter to get it there from corpus ".

that's simply not true. I sold a BMW to a guy in CA, no problem finding a shipper. What else is he lying about?

seems cheap for the miles too. Too cheap.

I read this as "Jason Statham wasn't available to drive it to California, and the 'new guy' wasn't an acceptable replacement". So, there's probably something in the boot/trunk.
