NEW "KID"

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hello Everyone. My friends call me "CV" and I live about 2 hours outside Seattle area. And of course, I'm looking for a Jag (finally!). I've owned many different marques, but have always had a strong desire to own a Jag when the time was right. I've hung up my racing helmet and I'm ready for a GT car and I'm in love with XKR's. But would also consider an F type with a manual. When I've passed my "detention" period, I will post a Wanted thread. I know I'm not alone in the search, but I'll try to be patient (not my strong suit) and also keep my eye on the auction sites. I prefer a low mile coupe '07 to '10 for budget reasons but might stretch for a later model, especially in the case of a manual F Type. I look forward to joining the community as an owner and not just a fan. Cheers to all.

Hey. Welcome.A bit new myself. So what is your budget and what do you consider low miles? Can be a bit subjective, yeah? https://www.carfax.com/vehicle/SAJWA45C199B29623
I too would like something around this vintage in an XKR. Sort of doing an opposites thing. Been loving my '11 MINI Cooper for nearly a decade now, but want something on the other end of size for awhile. Are you able to do most work yourself or do you need folks to do the work for you? I have learned this seems to be the lynch pin when it comes to happy v. painful Jaguar ownership! (At least for those of us who are not Mr (and Mrs) Moneybags!

My ideal XKR would in the Western states and be sub 30k miles with a former fanatical owner who has already addressed known issues. If a dealer can't produce full records, I will pass on any car. I will buy a black car, but it's not my first choice. The only F Type I will consider is a bone stock, low mile V6 with manual transmission. I won't hold my breath on that. Most who own those are driving enthusiasts who put miles on them.
I didn't start out to write a novel, but there it is. My car story.
Good luck on your search as well. You're lucky, most of the low milers I've seen are on the East Coast. I probably can't justify bidding on those because enclosed shipping is ridiculous and I'm as far West as you can get. I'm curious what your parameters are for your search. If you are more DIY than I am, you would have a much broader selection to consider. I hope we don't end up competing against each other and driving up the price! :-)
Cheers!
