The Jaguar XKR looks like the ultimate sports car, but it feels like a cross between a British gentleman's coupe and a big ol' American stock car.
The supercharged XKR is available as coupe or convertible. It adds additional items to the XK8 like: an Eaton Roots type supercharger which boosts horsepower; 18-inch alloy wheels; bigger Brembo ventilated brake rotors (14 inches vs. 12.8 inches); a computer-controlled active suspension; a DVD navigation system and Xenon headlamps. For the XKR Coupe only, there is a special-order Handling Package which consists of firmer shocks, springs and antiroll bars, a retuned speed-sensitive power steering, and cross-drilled brake rotors.
For 2006, the Jaguar XKR comes in a limited edition Victory series.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2006 Jaguar XKR, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2006 Jaguar XKR for less money than when it was new. If the 2006 Jaguar XKR was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2006 Jaguar XKR is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2006 Jaguar XKR will have a good-fair resale value. This assumes that the 2006 Jaguar XKR is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
