I could live with that, they eat the lion's share.
A 65 mustang for instance, changed hands 15 times in 40 years. $30k in taxes collected. Thats more than Ford Mo co made, and they had to produce something tangible.

Your lucky to be able to do that. Here in Texas you pay taxes on sales price or presumptive valve, whichever is greater... I guess they have something similar to kelly black book that they use to determine the presumptive value. But they are going to get you one way or the other on private sale.

That doesn't work here in Taxas. When you transfer the title from out of state, you pay the tax. AGAIN. I was blown away when I moved here from NJ. No state income tax here but they git ya every other way they can.....
Sorry OP, no input on changing the gear selector.

The communications network was changed with the 2010+ models so basically you'd have to transplant the guts of a 2010 into your car which would most certainly exceed the cost of just buying a 2010 or newer...

About the Shifter. The reason for the j shifter in the earlier models is that when the lever is moved, the mechanical force of that movement actually moves the gears inside the transmission. the dial shifter on the newer cars is a recent/invention improvement, but I doubt that an older car's transmission could be converted.

I am sure it would be a nightmare to do but using an XF as a donor may be more achievable than using a later XK.
From the XF Technical Guide:
The ZF 6HP26 transmission is an electronically controlled six speed unit and is utilized in all current Jaguar models: XF, XJ and XK.
The transmission has a fully electronic transmission selector with no Bowden cable connection to the transmission.
The transmission selections are made using the JaguarDrive electronic rotary selector, which rises from the floor console once the engine is running. Rotation of the electronic transmission selector to any of the 5 positions is sensed by the TCM via the HS CAN bus. The TCM then reacts according to the selected position.
Movement of the rotary selector to any of the 5 positions is sensed by Hall effect sensor at the base of the selector.
This positional change is then transmitted on the HS CAN bus to the TCM. The signal is also transmitted by LIN bus as a back-up signal.
