2005 XKR in the DC area!!

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hey all!
I've been lurking since 2005. I own a 1997 XJR and just purchased a 2005 XKR. This is my first convertible and I love it. Don't worry, I know there are some vert haters here
I purchased the XKR from florida and had it shipped here. So far I've had a couple of issues that I may need assistance with. My rear lights don't work. I think it could be the SLCM issue identified and fixed by jacksheen. My alignment seems off even after a recent alignment. The steering wheel rattles as well. I'm thinking I should take the car to a suspension expert. I got the car for a steal so I wouldnt be surprised if it was in an accident regardless of what Carfax says. The engine and transmission do seem to be functioning fine. I've fixed most issues with the XJR by myself so hopefully the XKR will even easier with the JF team!
Thanks in advance to all,
Tim

Almost forgot! I was getting gas last night with the XKR and what rolls up? A 2011 XKR!! Did you know that car has 510 horsepower?? I felt a little disturbed because his son kept asking me what kinda car do I have. I answered the same one as your dad; he said really?
The car is still a beauty.....
