Utterly tacky, but looks like it can be reverted. I like the white with red/black interior. I like yellow calipers in general, but would need to see how well they were done up close.

Two owners already is a little concerning along with lack of taste that was put to wayside at some point in this car's history. If it's under warranty still, could be worth a deeper dive.

Yes, I agree Ted. It is too easy to assume a modified car has had a hard life. Although, this is the impression a buyer gets and a reason modified cars tend to have a hard time selling. As car enthusiast we enjoy making our rides our own and we gain enjoyment from it. Another reason why we buy exclusive cars in the first place.


Still wishing I lived in Southern Cali so I could enjoy cars 12 months of the year and they look so much better in the Cali sunshine.

It's trying too hard. To each his own.

Maybe I'll get "115HP" mats for my old Toyota pickup!

I agree, but I didn't see where anyone concluded that this XKR-S was abused. All I said was "buyer beware", which is good advice for any purchase. Due diligence is always needed.

I find that mats and tire lettering extremely tasteless/gawdy. Those often found in Miami beach where it seems gawdiness is the new black. I'd expect to see touches like that on a Civic or Nissan not a $100K+ car though when I was last there seeing chrome wrapped Lambos was the norm. Seems people there have a need for more attention than the Kardasians
