Default New member from N. California '05 XKR

I just bought a 2005 XKR in Jaguar Racing Green and ivory interior with Sepang wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Brembos, adaptive cruise, navigation, etc. 80K miles. Appears to be in good condition with a good service history. I've enjoyed driving it, although I have only put about 100 miles on it so far. More miles to come! I had not even sat in one before and bought this one over the 'Net and had it trucked to me. Yes, I was nervous! I'd never done that before and have advised others against it. (Hey, how many of us always does what's "good" for us?!?) But, I did have it inspected by an indy and spoke with the owner before the PO to get his take, so I was reasonably assured of a nice car. I'm not disappointed!

I'll follow up later with my initial driving impressions.

Welcome to the forum Wagon Willie,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US Western Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/western-us-ak-ca-nv-ut-hi-wa-id-38/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
