Default Happy new owner of an 07 XK

New to me, I'll take delivery in a couple of weeks as the holidays will slow it down. Bought my 07 XK Base with Luxury Option. Low miles. I wish they were lower still, but I have a price point I couldn't steer from.

The car has been serviced at the same Jag dealership since 08. I got a full service history, which is a deal maker for me. I was actually planning on taking the winter but I found this almost immediately so I asked myself "why wait?" So then I asked my wife the same question to which she replied, "Leave me out of this. You're going to do what you want anyway." God I love her.

The model is Black on Black.

The paint's not perfect and I'll likely want to respray the bumper covers, but I've yet to see a black car that doesn't require that from time to time anyway.

The interior is clean. The vehicle currently needs nothing (except perhaps a bumper respray) per the dealer, but I'll do a trans fluid change and differential fluid change when I get it.

So I've now officially moved over from the X350 forum and they're all stuck with me for awhile.

They are beautiful...The coupes are pretty rare...In my area I have only seen 5 or so in the past 3 years...I also plan on getting a XK coupe in the spring...Keeping the XJ8 so I will be bouncing between the forums...

Very nice! What do you think of the drive compared to the XJ? I've been contemplating the move from XJ to XK as I almost never have passengers in my car.

Do it, do it, do it, you won't be disappointed and you'll find a whole new respect for the marque.

Very nice! I'll be adding an XK Coupe or XK8 Vert to my stable hopefully next year.

Congrats Sean, sounds a beauty. No doubt you'll be adding pics and more details later?
Don't forget to drop by here from time to time and share your wisdom.
