Where did you find your XJR?

Where did you find your XJR?
I am searching mightily for a good XJR at a good price. I have looked at Ebay, Autotrader, Craigslist, Cars.com... and so far I am car-less. And starting to get impatient! Summer is here and I want to have some fun! This of course means I am getting more prone to making a mistake.
Just curious as to where you all found your XJR's (those that have them, or Super 8's). Am I being too picky? I'd rather not get one that looks like it has been through downtown Baghdad on a bad day... or through Hurricane Katrina for that matter.
I am looking for an 01 or 02 whose price reflects the need to do 3000 worth of tensioner/water pump work (unless the seller can prove that's been done)... and that failing, a 95-97 with low miles.

RE: Where did you find your XJR?
i found my jaguar xjr on craigslist. funny thing is I was just looking as i allways did, not really serious to buy, but i came up on a good deal. I love this car. It is so smooth, and yet so powerfull. Good luck, im sure you will find yours soon. Go for a 01 and newer so you eliminate the nikasil problem. Mine is a 98 but shows no signs of nikasil issues. Good luck buddy. let me know when you find one.

Found mine on Craigslist. Actually saw it a couple of weeks before I had the cash to purchase it. I was suprised to see it was still available. It's a 1999XJR in absolutely near perfect condition with service records, under $8k. It is absolutely the best car I have owned from a driving experience, and I have owned Porsches and Mercedes. With gas prices rising these cars are starting to feel the squeeze. But I can buy alot of gas for the cost of a car payment, and wouldn't have nearly the enjoyment rolling down the highwayor sending Mustangs, Camaros and even Corvettes home in shame! Good luck.

I'm in the UK and bought mine from Autotrader -probably no helped if you're outside UK!
Anyway more to the point, I was very fussy about what I wanted- a black XJR with ivory interior with low mileage and all the possible options (some don't include the cruise for example). Ending up getting my one in Oct '07- with everything that I wanted
