"Is the 2002 Jaguar XKR Worth $18,950?"

A 2002 Jaguar XKR with 52,605 miles and a supercharged 4.0-liter V8 is listed for $18,950 on Craigslist.

The price represents an over 80 percent drop from its original $86,000 MSRP, but it's uncertain if it's attractively priced given the model's limited following.
