Houston friends
 
Any of you close to Jersey Village Houston?

I'm not super far away. About 25 min from me though go through there for work often. What's up?

That's perfect.

Big Macs, 17000 NW Fwy

There's an Blue 08' XK R there.

Just looking for someone to eyeball it for me, cosmetics.

It's only got 25K on it so I'm expecting it to be clean but then again I've seen low mileage cars that were abused.

It's a quick cheap flight for me to go down there in person but don't want to waste a day showing up and from 10 feet away the thing has issues.

Think you could pop by and do an exterior walk around?

Next door, about 3 miles

I can't get there until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, heading to Baytown after a conference call.

If S&R can't get there, I can.

I think it's a Portfolio Edition.

Note the larger discs and red calipers.

Not badged as a Portfolio but I don't think they started doing that till 09'.

Not sure, could be wrong.

Thanks for the heads up.

I hate robbing people that fight back.

Just over complicates things ruins my whole day. :rolleyes:

stomachmonkey - Sorry, I've been travelling the last few days, just got back from Chicago this morning.

The earliest I could get out to the dealership to look at that Jag would be Friday. The fact that you are buying a Jag is something I wouldn't hold against you...just kidding.

As I am not familiar with these cars, anything specific I should be looking at or just general condition?

That dealership if a stone's throw from my house and stomping ground.

Thanks, I don't think it's going anywhere that fast and I also need to finish dealing with the tax man this week.

Just looking for general condition. It looks well kept in pictures taken from 5 feet away which we all know is not the same as real life.

At 25k on the clock I'm not expecting to see dings, rock chips, wear and tear a low mileage older vehicle shouldn't show.

I'm not expecting any engagement with a sales guy and if one does happen to wander over just tell them you are just eyeballing it for an out of town friend who may be interested.

However if you wanna take it for a test drive just for your own kicks have at it.

I just really hope "Big Mac" is a portly gentleman with a stained shirt, a way too short tie, and a foul-smelling cheap cigar! :)
