He has 4 or 5 XK/Rs 2002 to 2013. All way overpriced.

But a great opportunity to sit in, drive and experience each.

It is in Mooresville, NC.
About an hour each way.
Looked at their website and they had 4-5 XKs and XKRs I can sit it and drive around a bit.
Wife is going with.
All are overpriced in my opinion, so just going to look.
and maybe practice self inspecting.

Did you make it to the dealership?
Wish I would have seen this message before I could had met you there, I'm in Mount Holly very close.
I have a 2003 XK8 Convertible I just bought a month ago, been fixing stuff daily and It's running pretty good already other than the strut bushings I'll be replacing again (just replaced them a month ago) This time I'm installing Wayne's replacements. Been at Wayne's a few times since I bought the car, great guy, lots of knowledge.

There's a nice triple black 2005 XKR convertible in Naples, Florida I saw on Craigslist. It has 95K on it with Detroit wheels and Recaro seats. At only $8,990 it seems like a deal! If I lived closer I would go take a look for you. His phone number is listed under contact so it seems legit-ish

That one looks good!
I'm 6"1", 175lb. long legs...I fit but still need to drive with legs not fully extended.

This one actually looks like a good deal from the photos. Only thing I could needing work are: shock mounts are toast, nav screen scratches, j-gate cracked. Definitely recommend getting a PPI from some place that knows these cars. Best of luck.
