This has to be the lowest mileage 2001 XKR in existence. I don't think they'll get the price, but someone will get a virtually new car.

Unbelievable. Very Nice.

It's my car, blue and ivory '01 except it is the R model. I would love it, except the price is really too high. Might be low miles, but it will still need some maintenance before driving very far.

And why own a car like that just to hide it in a garage all those years?

And IMHO, just as there can be to many miles there also can be two few miles when coupled with age.

 

beautiful car but $10K above book - thinking it will be a long time before it sells.

 

Why would anyone want a 12 year old car that's averaged less than 30 miles per month? There could be a lot wrong beneath the skin.

 

I agree. I'm finding that the more I drive my cat, the better she gets.

 

This.

 

Yep, low mileage is good, but, for a 12-13 year old car low mileage is not the only consideration. I wouldn't think there would really be much difference between the 4,200 miles and 25,000 or so, assuming that it had not been driven hard and well maintained. Now, I would see a significant difference between a 25,000 car and a 125,000 mile car.

I'd expect it to fetch somewhere about $10,000 less than he is asking, as has been stated.

Personally, I have always felt that the way that a car is driven and maintained is more important than just the mileage. Think of your grandmother putting 50,000 miles on a car, or then your 17 year old irresponsible grandson putting 30,000 on a car.

I'd take grannie's car every day.

 

Here's another one. How can these owners stand leaving them in the garage and not driving them? It's a baffling mystery to me.

damn what a shame as that car is just screaming to be driven! sweet vehicle!

 

What engine work is needed on that car? Were the tensioners still suspect on XKRs of that year?

 

I believe you had to get into the 4.2 for all issues to have been resolved by the factory.

I also believe you get the better tranny with the 4.2

 

Beautiful car. Don't like the seats, red inserts and the nav system. IMHO the three gauge set up is truly a design classic while the nav screen just looks like old technology.

 

Most 2001s still had the older generation plastic tensioners.

There is nothing at all wrong with the solid Merecedes tranny in the older XKRs, although the 6-speed with the later 4.2s gets a bit better mileage.

 

As written by Lorwood
On most of the Limited edition models they added just about every option available, as standard equipment. I believe certain markets, Japan comes to mind that they never installed the Nav System. Possibly because of the limited availability of maps, certain markets only received a handful of limited edition cars.
Steves right the Merc transmission is practically bullet proof. One of the reason Jaguar went to the six speed ZF was for cost cutting, instead of having two suppliers they were able to go to one.

 

lorwood,
the 5 speed Mercedes transmission that was in the pre 4.2 XKR's, is a better transmission, in my opinion, than the 6 speed ZF of the 4.2. An extra gear does not necessarily make a better unit, the Merc units are considered pretty bullet proof..

 

Okay, if you can find a lower mileage XKR than the one below that isn't brand new, I'll eat it! This is unbelievable!!!

Wow! The Silverstone is amazing. Might be a little optimistic about the price, even for one as pristine as this one must be.

You'd think for that price they would have better pictures and maybe even list it on a better venue (like eBay at least).

Pretty sweet ride.

 

Started weekly and moved in and out of the garage...'
....to ensure all engine wear occurs with no oil in the upper engine and zero chance to warm up. It would have been better to go for a one mile drive every week than to just start it up & move it in and out of the garage.
