New XKR owner
I finally had a chance to sign up today. I purchased my 2010 XKR in liquid silver on April, 2021. It had 33,000 miles on the odometer and was basically in excellent condition with zero issues. I now have 39,400 miles currently. It also has the optional 20" rims.
I paid $27,800 for it from a speed shop in Texas, so it saw no winter months. The only mods so far are quality aluminum racing pedals. The only issues I have after 1.4 years of use is the windshield washer pump does not work and rear fog lights need to be replaced.
I also just starting seeing the dreaded adaptive headlight warning icon flashing in the dash. When the engine starts up, the lights move in their proper locations. I searched this forum and downloaded the service manual to have on hand. Future mods will be a smaller supercharger pulley, x -pipe and performance software and new Michelin Pilot Sports, unless a better tire is recommended.. I would like to see 550 to 600 hp at the engine with these mods. I am wondering if the rear differential will handle the extra power when pushed hard at the 600 mark. I see you can purchase used diffs on line for a modest price.
Great forum you have hear and lots of helpful people.
