Just looking at Autotrader and amazed to see the prices of Xk convertibles.

You can buy a 2004 BMW 645 for the same price as a 2000/2001 Jaguar.

I thought the Xk had high depreciation, is this not the case?

Is this just unrealistic pricing or have prices firmed up better than BMWs?

Would really like a 4.2 but not paying those prices frown

No wonder BMW and Mercedes seem more popular!

Any thoughts?

How did you sell yours if you don't mind me asking? Am I looking in the wrong place?



Was the same in the Winter NormanD, have been looking for a while.

Ended up buying an Alfa just for the time being, don't really fancy the BMW/Audi?Mercedes options. But I can understand why people do when the British offerings are so unrealistically priced frown
