Excellent deal on a 2006 XKR
I saw this on cars.com last night and it almost looks too good to be true. However it's advertised by a dealer, so it doesn't seem like a scam. They are asking less than $20K for an '06 XKR. The mileage is a little high (83K), but it looks like it's in excellent condition. The dealer is asking $8,000 less than the KBB retail value of that car in excellent condition, and $2,000 less than the KBB private party value of that car in fair condition. If I had the cash for a second XK I would jump on this in a heartbeat.

This does sound suspiciously inexpensive unless this dealer picked up the car in some auction or stole it on a trade-in and wants a quick turnaround. One odd thing is that almost all of the autotrader/cars.com ads I have seen for cars like this include several photos of the engine compartment and the trunk (boot) and there are none of those with this car.

I love that color combo.
I'm surprised that it doesn't have BBS rims... I know that was an option, but I thought all 05/06 XKRs shipped with them. They might have been changed out too. In any event, that's a good price, even if the car does have a few issues. I paid quite a bit more for my 05... but it only had 30k miles on it and it had all the options I wanted so it was worth it to me.
And I love the 05/06 body style... in the long run it will be the rarest, I think.

Did anyone pull the CarFax report? I did to see any comments about that. It'll show all insurance claims, and any title issues. Sometimes the reason for the price is based on that history. I don't think the dealer used the usual phrase "clean CarFax report" in this ad, did he? So if not, maybe a buyer should get the full history, and the CarFax is not a bad place to start.

I agree it's a bit strange that there are no pictures of the interior. The seats may be quite worn after all those miles (mine were). Just as a reminder, the interior of the run-out models should look like this. The CF dash could be changed free of charge for either walnut or elm (which I have). The Recaro seats were an (expensive) option. They look cool, but IMHO are not especially comfortable.
I hadn't noticed the missing headlight washer. That too is odd: they don't usually break of their own accord and I have noticed that the headlight units are often for sale without the washer. Could this mask hasty crash damage repair?
