Looking at an 06

Alax, yeah gen 2s come with rain sensing wipers. We used to have an 03 that had them.

Only the '03s had them. They were deleted in '04 due to owners complaining that they didn't work. Ironically it was operator error (DUH!) not a failure of the system.

My 04 has them.

Also, my LS has every option, I think most 'Ultimate's do, though Alax has one and he said he did not have HIDs. Maybe an LS with actually every option is somewhat rare.

I had a Senior Moment. They were actually dropped mid-'04. They weren't even an option on either of our '06es.
 
Yeah my LS has everything Alax stated + stock HID's mentioned except the rear heated seats? Where are the instrument panel for those?

Actually, most Ultimates that I have seen are missing at least a few options.

In general, the Ultimate package (for 06) includes:
17" 5 spoke chrome wheels
Advance Trac
HID lowbeams
Navigation THX
Wood
Moonroof
Heated/cooled front seats
Adjustable rear head rests


Not part of the ultimate package would be:
Side curtain airbags
Adjustable memory pedals (something I found hard to find, but had to have)
Rear park assist
Rear heated seats (BTW, you can now get rear heated and cooled seats on some Jaguars)
Engine block heater
Special Tri-coat paint colors


So, ultimate gets you a little over half of the available options.
 
Adjustable rear headrests? You mean electronic or you can move them up and down like the passenger and driver head rests?


oh and tri coat right here too. It's amazing when the sun hits it.

The other thing, you can manually move them up and down just like the front ones.

It's a switch on the rear door panel, next to the window switch.

They are manual, like the fronts.

Yes! I have everything, except I am not sure about the engine block heater... And I have an Ebony LS... Guess it is not tri coat..lol
 
Well I have the adjustable rear head rest. Didnt think those were an option, thought those were standard.

I have an ultimate, no rain sensing wipers, no HID's, no nav. And to add to a previous comment on the things to expect to go bad, I'm at 70K+ and no issues, no leaks.

Well hopefully you can double your mileage with no issues. My reasoning for getting the car would be to have a problem free ride for years. The mileage racked up on my 01 fairly quickly because I had to use it for work, and I spend all day in the car so.....



Joegr, no I don't use Rainx or wax on my windshield. I just hand wash it with the rest of the car.
 
Looks nice, but the vehicle doesn't have Nav, back-up sensors, heck it doesn't even have advancetrac (it has the button with the spinning tire on it) I'm willing to bet no HID or anything extra which means it's probably not an ultimate.

For being an 04 and being $12000 I would want those things.

Love the wheels though!
