WTB: 2008+ Commander Limited 5.7 HEMI ODII (Preferably in the Seattle/Tacoma area)

My original XK went for a swim and never recovered - so now I'm looking for a great priced upgrade! But I've had a Commander before, so I know what I like!

I wondered if you would stay with the Commander. Glad to see you're trying to.

I loved it. Now I just need to find another! First mods will be a lift, some decent tires, and a snorkel so I can go get revenge on the hole that did my Commander in.

Thats the spirit!!!

Sure hope you find a nice xk. You should post up a thread with some pics about what happened to your other one. :)

Hey wait your in my backyard, let me know when you get your new rig so we can go wheeling. Your on base right?

You wont regret getting a snorkel!!! I love not having to worry about water finding its way into my engine.

I know you dont have an XK yet... but you may want to consider picking this up:

I work on base! I live nearby! I definitely want to get out and do some wheeling. No need to wait too long - my wife still has her Wrangler!

I will def keep that in mind, and will let you know when ever I hear about trips between the 3 groups I belong to that's local.

So, I'm still in the market for a newer model XK. I thought I might like a newer Wrangler and I can afford to downsize a bit, so a friend is letting me borrow one for the next week or so. So far, not impressed with the 2010 Unlimited Wrangler 4-door. It feels cramped and gutless (3.8 V6). Even my wife's 2005 Wrangler Unlimited 2-door seems to have a better power to weight ratio. But comparing either of them to my 5.7 HEMI V8 and AWD is laughable.

If you are going to get a wrangler you need to get the 2012 or 2013. It has the new 3.6 liter with 285 HP / 260 TQ. The one you test drove with the 3.8 liter only has 202 HP / 237 TQ

I agree too. Just giving advice if he decide to go a different route.
