See all formats and editions
The technically advanced, aluminium bodied New XK models carried over very little from the previous models. Produced from 2006 to 2014, they proved to be one of the best sports models produced by Jaguar. Still no replacement has been planned by the marque, meaning these cars will be much sought after, and meaning you'll need expert advice if you're thinking of purchasing one.For anyone with an interest in, or who's thinking of buying one of these already classic cars, this Essential Buyer's Guide is a vital requirement. Covering all variants, and highlighting model differences, it shows how equipment levels or colour schemes affect can affect price. Detailing everything from what to look for when you first see a car, to in-depth evaluation, even such matters as where to buy and what paperwork to check is covered, along with dedicated sections listing model specifications, where to go for advice, and marque specialists.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"a handy little book ... Author Thorley's advice comes from years of experience with Jags, too." - Auto Express

"an excellent compact reference for tracking down the right model and specification to cherish" - Classic Car Weekly



"Small enough to fit in the glove box, yet containing every scrap of information needed, anyone considering buying an X150 should get this book first." - Jaguar World

5.0 out of 5 stars The author is an expert on Jaguars
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2017
The author is the best source of info on Jaguars. Our 4th Jaguar is a 2011 XK convertible that we purchased in January 2017. I was glad to see that the book was revised and updated through the end of the XK production run (2015 or 2016?). After reading the sections on our model, I was surprised (but should not have been) to see that the author had in fact mentioned a few little items that we had to deal with on our car. This shows me that the author does his homework - he knows his stuff about Jaguars!

Doesn't give as much detailed "what to look for" info as I would have liked. Geared more to someone who has never purchased a used car before.

It's small, thin and non-informative....it appears to be a general template that they fill some info about the mark. The you and yours XK book is not great but is better than this rag....don't waste your money

Not much in it. I was expecting a lot more information on the specifications for the different iterations and special editions. Basically this is a simple guide to buying a used car. There is a lot more information available by a quick search online.

Libro dedicato alla Jaguar XK coupé prodotta dal 2006 con foto e dati tecnici delle varie versioni prodotte nel corso degli anni.
Ricco di suggerimenti per chi si accinge all'acquisto.
In questa veste cartonata e pocket si rivela molto pratico.
Unico neo manca l'analisi di alcune versioni limited edition come la XKR S GT.
