They had the XK-R on Wheeler Dealers a few years ago and wanted one ever since unfortunately totally impractical for my needs and don't have the space for a weekend car. 

[Auric Goldfinger]

Right, I'm undecided on this,

 

I'm a bit stalled on the Vrs, I do like the car but it's getting a bit boring to be honest. Do you think a Stage 1 remap by shark might get me to like the car again. 

 

Can anyone tell me whats the Vrs is like with a Stage one remap, any concerns on the Clutch, Turbo, ?

 

I'm think perhaps a remap and a STS box

 

Your thoughts pleae

Scratch the itch.

You know you need to!

Get the Jag, don't forget you'll also need to get a set of Golf clubs.

The Jag looks awesome! Go for it

[Mercurio]

Looks like a nice example, and as it has FSH, why not if the price is right?

 

I've no regrets about getting a Jag

Very nice car and well worth a look. Is there an XKR owners club forum? Maybe worth having a look there for any potential problems. An acquaintance has one (although possibly a little older than this) which had issues with its pistons. So worth seeking further info.

Sorry AG, it was some time ago. I do know that he didn't have any huge repairs or anything like that, any no particular other issues. All in all it was an OK car - did have full service history etc.

Drove an XF 3.0d recently and it was a nice place to be.

 

The only little thing that would put me off is that I've seen just a few too many sporty Jags in the last week all driven by old men.

Perfectly suited to AG then.

If it's got full FSH - and hopefully main dealer - then why not, if the price is right, and you'll be happy with running costs?

 

The history should show any non-routine work - pipes, electrics, etc, etc, etc, etc... and there are a couple of Jag forums/fora, one specifically for the XK, so you can quickly find out the good, the bad, and the ugly.
