    I have been looking at newish used cars.
    Any comments on the car?
    It seems like it could be a good value, if it stays out of the shop.

    I would hold off on 2010 MY. Jag always seems to skimp on something the first model year of a new engine and the problems surface a few years later. Check jaguarforums.com to get a feel. I think I remember seeing a thread on rough idling problems with the 5.0 motor.

    Hi Fred.
    Currently I own a '13 XKR convertible and had a '12 XK coupe before.
    Never had any problems with both cars and never heard of any.

    The last XKs are a great deal as the XK isn't built any longer.
    Maybe you should look for a 66 edition (if available in US).

    It's the last GT you've ever seen from Jaguar and one of the last true GT cars ever built.

    The naturally aspired 5.0 is very nice, powerful, more than enough. The supercharged 5.0 is a beast, it sounds like a monster.
    The XK is a true beauty. It's kind of a disguised DB9. ;-)

    You'll find some very nice cars on the market with much discount.

    Cheers
    Bjoern
