2-OWNER GA CAR, CLEAN CARFAX, 81K MILES, LOADED, TONS OF MAINTENANCE RECORDS!!

Looking at this gorgeous 2008 Jaguar XKR convertible, e're reminded just how much A-list performance and luxury you can get just by buying second-hand. Nobody will care that it's a few years old, hey're simply going to think you're a player. Better yet, or the price of a 2-year-old Honda, ou can have one of the most entertaining convertibles anywhere. That's really having your cake and eating it, oo!Of course, f you're going to have a Jaguar cruise missile like this, t really should be black. For a car that was knocking on the $100,000 door when it was new, he paint is absolutely gorgeous, espite a few signs of age and use. You really did get more, nd somehow the guys in Coventry managed to do something magical with the finish, aking it so deep and glossy that it almost looks like liquid money. The XKR was designed by the same fellow who penned many of the more recent Aston-Martins, o the shape is stunning, rom the sloping nose to the bulging quarter panels that suggest great speed is on tap. It's every bit a Jaguar, tip of the hat to the legendary E-Type without being a tribute or a replica. Fit and finish are exemplary, nd the R models such as this one received those cool screened grilles up front, dditional ducts on the hood, nd four big exhaust pipes out back that sound simply amazing.Inside, aguar's reputation for coddling isn't wasted. Velvety tan leather covers almost every surface and you'll feel like a million bucks every time you slide behind the wheel. By 2008, aguar had caught up with the 21st century, o everything was standard equipment, ncluding a touch screen in the center of the burled walnut console. Anything that looks like wood really is wood, he switches and knobs are ringed in bright chrome, ot plastic, nd big, ound gauges remind us that Jaguar takes driving quite seriously. Everything works properly except the AM band on the extraordinary stereo system, ut then again, hat exactly were you going to listen to on AM anyway? There's a pair of vestigial seats in back, ut they're really not for humans, ut they're beautifully upholstered anyway. Overhead there's a black canvas convertible top that stows itself in seconds and looks great up or down. And while it's not giant, ou get a functional trunk that's beautifully finished, omplete with chrome rub strips that are straight out of the E-Type coupe.The 4.2 liter V8 was supercharged to the tune of about 400 horsepower, aking this one fast cat. There's a lot of plastic shrouding on the engine, o it's not particularly exciting to look at, ut nobody will aruge with how it works. There's a mountain of torque available at any speed, nd stabbing the throttle will cause the 6-speed automatic transmission to drop down a gear or three and then things really start to happen quickly. Boost is instantaneous and the car lunges forward with a spectacular baritone wail from those pipes out back and it feels like it could pull forever. All this for less than $30 grand? Holy cow! It's been recently serviced and if you do some asking around, ou'll find that these cars are apparently immune to the gremlins that plagued earlier Jags, o it's got many years of happy motoring ahead of it. The suspension is supple, he brakes are insanely powerful, nd those giant 20-inch wheels carry staggered 255/35/20 front and 285/30/20 rear performance rubber.Why buy new when a gently used and well-maintained A-list car is so accessible? This car is the hands-down winner in the current bang-for-the-buck contest. Call now!
