tberg, disregard my previous posting, because things moved fast today. I went to see a 2007 XKR Conv, I heard it, I drove it, I bought it. What a car, well handling, luxurious, and with the sport exhaust LOUD! Not Pantera loud, but rest-of-the-world loud. And fast. Not Pantera fast, but rest-of-the-world fast.
And a convertible, I have for some time wanted a convertible, I haven't had one since my first car (Triumph Spitfire MKIII).
And a one year warranty...
I went on an English Jag forum, asking for problem areas, there seem to be almost none, at least compared to a Maserati. So I think I got a better car, cheaper and with less crazy repairs in the future I think.
tberg, thanks for the suggestion, never thought I'd own a British car again, my own stupid prejudice...
BTW, anybody want to buy my Pantera, I need the money...
