My 2 year anniversary is coming soon and I always wondered what Jag Im gonna get next. I want to get an 06 Victory Edition XKR Droptop soon then buy an 08 X150 XKR Portfolio Droptop next.

 

Although I can certainly respect the performance of the newer models, I have yet to see one as beautiful as my 1997 coupe. Not even a curvy Tata.

 

I agree the X100 is a classic.

 

No plans to get rid of the X100, I like it too much. I am going to add an X308 XJR in the next year though.

I really think the X100 and X308 R models are a great bang for the buck for performance, reliability(yes, reliability), luxury and style. My XKR has been mile for mile cheaper than both my Corvette and 7-Series have been, and more reliable. The Vette went so I can add the XJR (spacewise), that's how impressed I am with these cars.

 

These are Grand Touring Cars. All have excellent performance. So look at the beauty. I say that the Xk-120 was the best looking of the 120,140, and the 150. The original Xk-E with no modification. So the same with the XK8. I don't like "screen " grills on any car.

 

Db-7?

 

I agree with The Coupe. Nothing out there makes me feel quite like my 2003 XKR Coupe. Greatest automobile I have ever owned.

 

+1

Can't really think of anything other than an Aston to replace the XKR. The new Jags are nice, but not nice enough to warrant an upgrade in my humble opinion.

 

My 05 is everything I want in a car. Except it maybe needs a few more horsies.

I don't think I'll be selling this one. I also don't see another Jaguar in my future unless something bad happens to my 05.

 

When the '97 hits 200k I'll be in the market for a nice '05. Got the colors picked out that I'll be shopping for. And of course the list of what's already been fixed. I'll let the cosmos decide if it finds me a XK or an R. Got to keep some things as a surprise
Only 36,000 miles to go, at 600/week that's about 60 weeks...

My next Jag will be an XKE convertible ,second edition if possible. I would trade my XK8 in a heartbeat if I could find the right one ( must be red). Still the classiest car that Jaguar ever built. The new ones look like too many other high end cars on the market today.

 

There isn't really another Jag I like as much as the X100. Hopefully, my next car will be an Aston Martin

 

Hmmm...would that be a DB9, perhaps?

 

Lol, how did you guess? A used DB9 if I can save up enough in the next two years, otherwise a brand new Virage Volante if I win the lottery

 

A quick look at cars.com here in the US shows a number of DB9 convertibles with low miles in the $ 30,000 - $ 40,000 range, but if you want a coupe, the lowest I see is $ 59,917 US.

All the Astons I see for sale have such low miles...don't people ever drive those things?

 

I agree the mileages are incredibly low. I saw a 2005 DB9 coupé for sale in the UK yesterday that had done just 6000 miles! The convertibles are much more expensive than the coupés here in Europe, makes me think I should look at importing one from the US, especially if they're 'only' $30-40K! You're looking at more like $75K in the UK and $100K here in France

 

Those prices seem too low, I've never used cars.com, but I can't find anywhere else that has pricing that low. If I could buy a DB9 Vert for 30-40K, I'd be on it immediately.

I just wonder if the ads are fraudulent, especially considering most of the ads I saw for Astons had individual names (not even last names on many) and most often were email only. Just curious and cautious is all.

 

Personally I think the DB9 is becoming more and more dated, and performance wise it doesn’t stand out either, the badge and exhaust note somewhat remains. The newer model xkr also doesn’t appeal to me, then I would rather like a new XJR more due to its interior when it comes to a new one (not so much the exterior). The new sls amg roadster isn’t bad if I am allowed to say it here, but so far my current XKR fulfills most of what I look for in a car; modern classic, elegant curvy lines and performance in abundance.

 

I want to get a sedan either the XF or new 2011 XJ in a couple years. But of course I will always keep an XKR Convertible in the collection at all times. Cant wait until the new C-X16 comes out.

 

hope to keep my 02 for years yet but if i had to change i would not go past the 05,the new shape looks to much like the mk4 toyota supra less the large surffboad looking boot/trunk spoiler.
