Well it is definitely going to be sold. I closed the deal today on an X351. Picking it up this weekend from the Jag dealer. Don't really have room for both.

I would prefer that someone here ends up with it. Now's your chance to own it Tom. You can sell your existing one.

Not sure what to ask for it though. On top of being a thoroughly sorted/restored car that drives as well as it looks, its a rare combination of color and features (like adaptive cruise).

Open to offers or suggestions on price at this point. I will be listing it soon.

Don't see any clear reason to sell one until the days of the week are filled with different colors. My neighbors might differ, but one just bought an XJ-S, so they are probably on board.

Congrats! Look forward to seeing the pictures. The 03-04 is a great combination of early style and 4.2//6. You're lucky. LA has more possible XK's listed for sale. There's an 06 in Palm Desert but that's long drive from Sac.

My apologies for the delay. It arrived the day before leaving for vacation.
So far, I've driven 30 miles. The radio volume dial is iffy, rear tires need replacement, brake pads are near due for replacement.
I purchased it on gut instinct after speaking with the seller. I caught it, within minutes of being posted on Cargurus. I am the 3rd owner and the previous two owners were neighbors. I feel very fortunate and relieved. Doubt I'd do that again, as the odds aren't usually favorable.
While the previous owners, aren't hobbyists/enthusiasts it has been very well cared for, by "regular Joe" standards. With the exception of the minor issues listed, I intend to compete a 3-step paint massage and engine compartment spruce up.
