Need Your Opinion
Hi Everyone:
Need your opinion. I am going to purchase a 2011 XKR. I have found two identical cars as to my preferred color and options. Physical condition is also nearly identical. The only material difference is price and mileage.
My use of this car will be as a third/fourth car (though my favorite
). Most likely less than 2500 miles a year. I plan to keep the car for 30 years.
Car #1 is 11,000 miles with 11 month platinum warranty remaining. Price is $55,000. Two owners, age/gender unknown.
Car #2 is 55,000 miles, $40,500. One owner, 63 year old male.
I have to pay use tax on the car at 9% so the difference is about $16,000.
What are your thoughts? Does 55K miles make you nervous? Does anyone know of a good extended warranty, especially one that is long in years and short in miles? Thank you so much for your time and opinion.

Thank you for your comment and advice concerning 2011 XKR w/ 55K miles. I had read on the forum that even though Jaguar indicates that transmission fluid does not be changed, that it in fact be changed at 60,000. I spoke to my dealer and he indicated $2,000 for fluid and filter. Does that sound right? Thanks again.
