I have a friend that is looking heavily at a 2011 XJ (non L) supercharged with the luxury package and some special wheels that do not appear to be the normal choices. Someone suggested they came from an XK model, but be that as it may- what are the things to look for in this car that seem to be common problems?

It has only 53K on it and according to the Carfax, other than normal service and tire service (which I interpret to mean rotations or replacement) there appears to be no other problems.

Comments on the negative and positive of this model and the potential weak points that require down the road issues. My friend is not a hard driver of the car with jack-rabbit around and standing on the brakes nonsense, ect. He will, of course, get an extended warranty.

Here is a link to the car:

Comments are appreciated.

Tom, is this the one? I looked extensively at this car it's in great shape. I actually was working with Caitlyn and put down a deposit, and only backed out due a crazy deal popping up the same day on an XJL with speed and sport trim with illumination and carbon fiber interior. I wish to god I had followed thru with it as the one I bought has several major issues. They were offering a really good warranty too for 2,800 and It's a beautiful car. Good luck.

 

Those wheels are BBS wheels that were offered on a package on the XK. Not sure of the years or specific model of XK.

 

Not unless you are in Texas or were looking at a car in Texas?

Yep, that's the same car. Just saw your link.

 

The wheels are called Kalimnos 20" and were also offered on the xj as an option.

 

Thanks. It appears the wheels are also called Senta

We are going up on Sat to see it. Did you make an offer lower than list on the car?

I thought they were the sentas too, They are very similar, but I think The Senta is a bit different, the spokes look a little skinnier. Imo

 

We were at 25k. One thing to ask about is that I know someone had also been looking at it and agreed to buy it when I canceled the sale. So try and see why it fell thru. My salesperson was Caitlyn and she was great and seemed very honest. Also the dash warning light that's on in the pics was from a low tire pressure.

 

Perhaps you are right, but they are very close- like non-identical twins- ha!
