Default Any buying/owning tips for a XK

Excuse random note but am seriously considering buying my first Jag. Live in Roswell. Thinking about spending $20-25k ish for a 2007-2009 XK (not a XKR) with no more than 75k miles on clock. As Jag owners any top tips on either buying (warning signals) or owning (local mechanics)? XKs of this age seem like a deal to own a classy and pretty car with a $85-90k original sticker price. Thanks in advance!! Andy

suggest you repost on the x150 forum where you’ll get lots of advice. Get a pre-purchase inspection on any car you are serious about from a trusted dealer or independent garage will be a first recommendation by many members. There are several owners in the Atlanta area who will be helpful.
These are very nice cars but can be very expensive to repair. Buy the best one you can afford with a documented maintenance history.
Good luck!

Default So - how did the purchase go?

Did you find one? What was your experience? I’m looking right now for a convertible XKR in Port Charlotte.
