2008 XKR Portfolio Convertible: what to replace with?
Discussion
Hi guys, I've been using my XKR as a daily driver for some time now.
It's a convertible in the limited portfolio edition in celestial black with black interior and contrast stitching. Lovely machine throughout with sublime B&W speakers and alcon 6 piston brake callipers!
I've bought it second hand but the car was nearly new with very few mileage on it. Have added about 30.000 Km's now.
Out of the blue, some guy contacted me yesterday to ask whether I was willing to sell the car. Didn't really knew what to answer straight away, nor what would be my asking price.
I've got a meeting with this guy on friday and have been looking on the internet what to ask for the car but more importantly:
WHAT TO REPLACE IT WITH in the same price bracket?
Only downside I would say is the fuel consumption when driven hard especially with the current price levels and the tax you pay here in belgium (about 2000euro/annum excl. insurance ;-) )
Can't really fault the car apart from that... AND GROWLER VIII is coming up :-)
Any suggestions, ...

I Thank You !!!I've been looking into GTR (yes niiiissan) classifieds but when I look outside at my parked XKR I reckon the nippon weapon can't match it for grace, (pace is a different matter though...) nor the drop top V8 Gran Turismo capabilities of the Jaaaaag when cruising or hammering along -)

Not a Nissan GTR, please, no. How ghastly and crudely styled a car can you buy? Why not get a Hyundai coupe and put on some wings, dustbin exhaust, some kickass alloys (in bronze) and fit a supercharger? It would achieve the same effect.
