Might be selling my '08 XKR
Found an XJ I like, so the XKR coupe may be on its way. Trouble is the XJ is not at a Jaguar dealer and I am pretty sure any trade-in offer will be very low. As a result, I may try selling it privately. Mind you, the difference between trade-in and private isn't that much according to KBB, so maybe the trade idea isn't so bad.

Really? None of the Jag dealers in L.A. I called would buy my car outright. Trade and buy from them yes, but selling to them for cash No.

I got the same from Gaudin, but that was within weeks/months of them going down the tubes. Maybe they knew which way the wind was blowing when I approached them.

I think what Cee Jay was proposing was to ask a Jaguar dealer to buy the XJ from the non-Jaguar dealer at a wholesale price, and then the Jaguar dealer can sell you the XJ at retail price and take your XKR as a trade-in.

Nope, it's paid off.
I will admit I have limited my searches to cars in the SW. Getting the right combination of colours in a SWB car is not that easy. Remember that 60%+ of all XJs are long wheelbase models and many, many buyers go for the all black interior.

OK, found a way to fool their website into giving me everything in the CPO inventory. Still no joy on a car at the right price with the right colour combo.

I've driven a 2013 V6 and I didn't find it that much different to the 2012 V8. There is a big "however" at start up. The V8 is a "bit rattly" initially, but the V6 was horrifically noisy, at least to my ears. Once warm the V6 was quiet, but anonymous, whereas the V8 makes a nice noise in the background unless you goose it.

I have to agree with Parzival .I leased a 2012 XJL V8 for 2.5 years and then bought a 2014 XJL V6 and have now driven it for almost the same amount of time. I'm sorry that I just didn't purchase the 2012 because I've found that there is a huge difference between the two.
The all-new Lexus flagship LS sedan has a V6 as the only engine option.
