Hi from Somerset County, NJ and my 2003 XKR
Hi all,
I have a quartz/dove 2003 XKR convertible that I bought "new" from the dealer in 2005 after it had done 1,100 demo miles. It's now all the way up to 19,000 miles and although I really love this car, I have to say that it has been a bit on the high (and expensive) maintenance side, having had to replace the supercharger and the hydraulic roof opening system since the extended warranty expired. The only non-stock update I have made so far was to replace the original tires with Michelins which are much quieter and seem to perform at least as well.
That's it for now
Nick
