Jag Fans,

The car I'm looking for needs to have Blue Tooth. Is there any way to tell if this feature is present in a car by looking at internet photos of the dash and steering wheel? I see that some photos show a telephone logo on the steering wheel. Is this indicative of factory blue tooth being present?
Some sellers specify, of course, but others do not. I would like to avoid a phone call to the sellers to determine the obvious if possible.
Thanks in advance,

All cars have the telephone button on the steering wheel and on the radio. The only way I know of to spot the option is look for the microphone on the headliner near the reading lamps

Well Boys and Girls:

I pulled the trigger on a 2005 XJR out of Tampa from the local Jag dealer and I'm back in a Jag after 15 years. Or I will be on Sat. AM. I looked at a number of attractive XJRs for less money but significantly more miles. I almost went for an 04 with 80K miles that was pristine but the ride had been seriously compromised with big wheels and cheep tires. Too bad.

The dealer was, as usuall, overpriced buy about $3500 but he came down $1500 and gave me an interest rate that saved me $2000 over the term of the purchase and that clinched it. He even thru in a Jag logo ball cap. Some of us are born suckers over the little things.

Thanks to all of you on this forum who have been so very supportive of this quest. I will now stop lerking and become a dues paying member, cheep at twice the price. I guess I will have to move over to the XJR area in further reports. Rest assured I will keep you posted on how it all turns out with this new baby. My God, it's quick. My wife thinks I'm crazy. My God it's quick. She may be right. My God it's quick.

Regards RBC

Unhappy

What a bummer. The car won't be ready today as promised. It seems that because I opted for the Select Edition an extensive procedure must be carried out on the car and they can't have it ready till Mon pm.

Anybody have any insite on what is involved in the Select Edition work up?

The Select Edition requires the selling dealer to thoroughly check out the car and correct any problems before it is sold. I think there are 164 checks to be done.
