So, you and your $86,000 can't get along. Maybe it's time to kick the family of greenbacks crowding your portfolio to the curb, exchanging them for a 2007 Jaguar XKR. Opt for the coupe, priced at $86,500 including a $665 destination charge, and instead of digits in a balance column you'll enjoy the convenience of a touch-screen navigation system; the safety of front-side airbags with head protection and active front headrests; the comfort of heated, leather bucket seats with multiple power adjustments and memory settings; and the sounds of music coming from a 160-watt Alpine audio system, including a six-disc CD changer and MP3/WMA player. Given the price, you'd probably expect more, and rightly so. Hence, the standard features list goes on with 19-inch Jupiter alloy wheels, a rear park-aid system, dual-zone climate control, keyless ignition, Bluetooth connectivity, and a power tilting and telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel. Options are relatively few, though they make up in price what they lack in abundance. At $2,100, the Luxury Package provides unique 19-inch alloy wheels, soft leather on nearly every interior surface, front sport bucket seats with adjustable bolsters and perforated leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, and burl walnut trim; 20-inch alloy wheels rolling on front 255/35 and rear 285/30 tires can be had for $5,000; a mere $1,875 purchases a 525-watt Alpine surround sound system with prewiring for Sirius satellite radio; intelligent cruise control is a $2,200 option; and selection of a non-standard color combination requires an outlay of $1,000.

For sun-worshiping enthusiasts, the 2007 Jaguar XKR convertible is delivered with the same specifications, albeit at the slightly higher price of $92,500 to cover the costs of a power soft-top with a glass rear window and a hidden roll bar.
