That is one beautiful car. I have exact same interior 2008 hard top. Enjoy.
Just in case any one looking for an XKR found this in Phoenix Craigslist.

hey everyone... First, Congrats on your new XKR! I am looking into purchasing a same model year, same color combo (beautiful) hardtop, from private party with over 130K miles.
My question(s) to anyone on here - HELP!
1) What did you look out for when deciding on purchasing a used model? How many miles on yours?
2) Did you consider maintenance costs? (I cant seem to find a thread with avg maintenance costs for regular services)
3) Convertible vs Hardtop?
4) What should I ask the seller?

with respect to mine 66k miles and full Jaguar main dealer history with only 3 owners, it was quite apparent having looked round that the previous owners treated the car well and was in fact the last owners pride & joy. Check for seat wear edges especially the drivers seat didn't really check for maintenance costs as i fell in love with the particular one I found.

How lucky are we?
michaelodonnell123: Thanks for the idea, I appreciated, but I think I'll stay with my shifter to keep the car as close as possible to the original.
Guys,
Although I do think it is a good idea to go for the inspection beforehand, I must say that I haven't done it. This was such a rare opportunity that I took the car for a ride and made the business with the man on the same day...and had a discount of 5000€.
Needless to say that in the present market status, a car like this is not easy to sell in Portugal (annual taxes, fuel prices: 1,5€ per liter of unleaded 95oct against 1,3€ for diesel, maintenance costs and insurance)
An XKR for under 15k? I wouldn't be worried too much, because if I wanted to import that particular car, It would cost me 27588.53€ in taxes only...
You just don't know how lucky you are, for not living in such an overtaxed country like mine...
Take a look at the prices of the only 6 XKRs available here:

I bought mine, for the price of a new XE... a bargain, I would dare to say...
