My Uncle is looking to purchase a specific Jaguar and I figured I would throw as many lines out as possible to help him.

He is looking for a 2010 Jaguar XF. Indigo Blue exterior. Barley Interior.

Supercharger is optional.

Thanks!

S/C is NEVER optional. It is a MUST. ;)

But has he tried a dealer? The 2010s are still available but maybe not with his particulars

If you were closer to NC, the dealer I work for has a service where they search the car auctions all over the country and will find the exact car your looking for (exterior color, interior color, and any options combination you can come up with) and charge you $1500 over the price they pay for the car when they find it. maybe you could find someone around you that does that or something similar.

There is a dealer here that I have called and have started the search that way as well.

Apparently the exterior color to interior color combination is hard to find.

A quick check of auto trader turned up two, one in VA and one in TX (Dallas). There may be others that don't use the correct color names.

$1500 over? What dealer do you work for? I had my Infiniti dealership do that for $500 over back in 2006.

I will send him those two and see what he says.

I guess I assumed he already looked there. The way he was talking, it sounded like he exhausted his internet searches.

Thanks!

Its a lamborghini, ferrari, and porsche dealer. But we also deal with almost any other type of car out there if someone wants one we find it. The 1500 covers the plane tickets to and from the auctions and covers transportation costs as well when we do buy the car. Most of the time we are told to find a very rare car or color combination therefore most of the time we have to fly to lots of auctions before we find it

That makes a LOT more sense. Most major manufacturers have trucks running between their factories, warehouses, and dealerships all the time, so all it takes to get a vehicle is just to have it put on the back of an already moving transport. But in your case that's obviously a lot different.

Do you work at Foreign Cars Italia? I grew up just down the road from Greensboro and used to drool every time we passed the lot on I-40.

I work for the founder of Foreign cars italia he sold it a few years back and built a new smaller dealership out in summerfield called Sport Auto. I go from sport auto to FCI at least twice a week picking up parts ect. FCI has grown alot in the last 4 years under the new management. I dont know if you were still around when they moved, but since the move its been like an explosion of cars.

I haven't lived in NC since 1997, but I do go home several times a year and take I-40 back and forth each time. It does look a lot bigger now than what I remember growing up, or even a few years ago for that matter.

Oh I see, and yes they now have like over a hundred cars on the lot and in the past it was more like 40. Also they now have a larger mechanics area they have like 10 lifts.

Sorry didnt mean to thread jack :D haha

Now the $1500 seems to low. Go figure?
