Default Sexiest NEW Car for UNDER $100k TOTAL.

What do you think the sexiest NEW car is that you can buy for under $100k?

It's not because I have a Jaguar, but I think the new XKR is simply beautiful!

Very nice car. My advice if you want a Jag, buy one 1-2 years old when they are worth half of their value. Not sure why but Jag resales are the worst I have ever seen for a sub $100k car.

I'm not a big fan of Jag's... For that much money I'd rather get a 650i or SL550.

I think the new XKR is going to hold it's value for a while.

M6 yes, not a 650. The coupes loaded at MSRp are in the low 80's, the vert is in the low 90's.

You can get a pretty loaded coupe out the door for about $78k.

I just built a 650i on BMW's website, fully loaded and it came out to $86,840. My best friends fiance also has a loaded 650 and payed right around 85k for it... You must be thinking of the M6.

Leave off the night vision and active cruise, those two options total $5k and rarely anyone gets them.

Here in SD you can get them for about $1500 over invoice. Euro delivery gets another 7% off if you desire.

I got my 2005 coupe loaded for $73k, that was before night vision was an option and I don't have Active cruise. There was also a $3k increase. The high end coupe market is a small one. Even the Lexus SC can be had for about $8k off.

The only reason I have the 6 is because Lexus does not build a coupe I like. One day perhaps.

Sorry IronCobra,

But the XK is horrendous with those headlights and taillights.

I'd rather have a new Civic.

Really? well that is your opinion. For some reason the new XKR reminds me of a DB9..... I think it is pure sex!! and the build quality is freakin awesome!!

Anyone notice that Jag is in the top 5 JDPA now for quality?
