07 xk convertible pre-pur inspection advise
I intend to look at an 07 xk convertible this weekend and am hoping that someone can assist me with any jaguar specific items that I should look for or ask about.
I have the VIN and have done a carfax check and intend to contact Jaguar NA for maintenance info.
And I know to look for the usual signs of leakage and wear but if you have any other specific pointers I would be humbly grateful
BTW It has 73k miles so any heads up on major maintenance requirements in the future would also be helpful
Thx

Book it in for a main dealer pre purchase inspection, about$200 they will check it all out and you get a report, don't buy one without one! Both my jags had them best money I ever spent they can even check your paint. If the dealer you are looking at buying from won't let you have one done walk away. I spent nearly $600 on inspections on cars I thought where good and drove well before buying my XJR. My wife's XK inspection came back clean as a whistle and was the first XK we looked at lucky really.

If you're still in-the-hunt on that '07 convertible, you may want to check the seal of the rear window to the outer shell. It should be tight and clean; if it looks like it is pulling away (or rolling-off) the window--and you can see a fair amount of flat black adhesive residue--you will be more assuredly looking at a new top. ($4,500+)
Also, have a look at the dash. Here's info on that: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...pulling-51324/
Fantastic auto! Good luck!
