Havard Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks dude http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2009-JAGUAR-XK-5-0-SUPERCHARGED-V8R-/150739293099?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2318c313ab Good find. 37K miles is reasonably high for a two year old car but it's a lot of car for the money. Once these get sub £20K I would fancy one but I am not sure if the auto would be enough for me. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Here's the new XKR-S Model which is rather tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 My dads got one, straight line acceleration is brutal in an old school way, and the soundtrack is almost without equal IMO for a new car. He's on his 4th XK now, and they've all been reliable. The interior doesn't feel mass produced, which is some achievement for a new car, whilst still coming well spec'd.

jonathanc Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Jezza likes it: (From the outside that is, lol) Ah beat me to it Pretty sure there's a review on TG. I saw the XKR first hand in Kettering months ago. Looked and sounded amazing! It's a pretty big car tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I love the look of them. As said before, it does have a lot of "Supra" about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really get car brand snobbery however I do agree the more established marquees are more enjoyable.

johnny g Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 The GTR's are lovely, for a Datsun And at £45k-ish, they were a two finger salute to "The Brands" - however, they've now priced themselves into that brand, so now. For £70-75k, it's Porsche. Even if it's not as quick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine below £40k mark though and although its a big amount I think there's a lot of car for the money I think MY12 cars are starting to loose the plot a little bit especially with pricing but what I do I know...

SupraAyf Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 while we are on the subject That's a nice sound indeed - good find mate. I just think the XKR looks stunning in every way; what a presence too. I'll be having a test drive of one of these when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
