Up for auction is my 2001 Jaguar S-Type 4.0 V8 Sedan, RWD.  NO RESERVE!!  

Let me first apologize for the lack of photos, and the quality.  I work during daylight hours, and night time is pretty much my only chance at a day shot.  However, send me a message with your cell phone, and I can text you pix that you would like to see. The exterior is either Metallic Black, or Black Onyx...
I'm selling this car because I have replaced it with another vehicle better suited for my long trips to and from work.  So, I don't need this Jaguar anymore, since I only bought it for its awesomeness and better MPG (25-27hwy) than my truck.  I would like to rid myself of the car note I got into with high interest.  It really is awesome, makes me smile to drive it, and see others watch me drive it, but I don't need it, and I've been going on a need to have basis here lately.  

This is a rare find!  Excellent condition, inside and out.  Paint has no chips that I've found, and the leather interior is in excellent shape, especially for the age.  Very very, small scratch in the bottom rear of driver seat. The headliner is starting to release from the ceiling, perhaps from high summer heat.  However, you will be impressed when you look inside. There are just a little over 74,000 miles on this Jag, and the price is a steal! 17 inch Chrome 10 star factory wheels.  Spare in trunk, along with a whole bunch of room, and back-up gas door release.  New tires on the rear, and the front 2 aren't far from new either. The front end has also been aligned just 5000 miles ago.  I have found 2 small dings in the passenger rear door, but you only notice them at an angled view while trying to spot them.  All the electronics work, all switches, lights.  Engine runs powerful and strong.  Variable Valve Timing on the engine, strong and smooth transmission, no slips, has sport mode, traction control on/off, heated windshield wipers, fog lights and rear fog tail lights.  Driver front fog light protective lens is broke, but the projector and light works.  I didn't even notice it until I washed it the other day.  Headlights are HID, and the bright lights are Sylvania SilverStar Ultras.  You'll notice everything going on in front of you at night time. The defroster vent cover also has a crack right at the middle, didn't notice it either until I armor-all'd it, I hear they're cheap, and also a snap-on piece.  Fresh oil and filter change just 5000 miles ago, Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic 5-30w.  All spark plugs replaced with Bosch Platinum 4's.  All front end ball joints have been replaced on both driver and passenger sides, including upper control arm and ball joint, steering knuckle and lower ball joint, hub/wheel bearing, outer tie rod ends, sway-bar links.  Never was this car in an accident that I know of, and the only reason I replaced the joints was because I had the money, time, and the rubber containing the grease had worn away. If you know this car, its particular origin, then you know you are getting an awesome deal!  Easy to work on, should you need to, fun fun fun to drive, and it turns heads everywhere you go.  There are 2 keys that come with the car.  The title is at my bank, and upon completion of the sale, I will send the title and transfer paperwork, all signed, to you the next business day after payment.  

I'm sure there is something I'm leaving out that you want to or need to know.  So, please ask me anything.  I know a pretty good bit about this car, so I should be able to answer anything and everything you need to know.  There are no recalls on this Jaguar.  Selling as is, where is, but will meet you if need be.   NO RESERVE!!  If only 1 bid at $6000, SOLD.

New info, my wife drove the car the other day and told me that it was harder to start, and that the passenger side heat is blowing out cold.  I've looked up possible causes, and it seems like an easy fix. I drove the Jag recently, and believe the heat is working properly.  Cold battery.... fuse...  I'm unable to diagnose the starting problem, and definitely without the time to fix it. It does start, and will everytime.   Hopefully its a DIY deal that you yourself can handle.  It's been colder here than recently, and maybe the cold air being sucked into the intake from outside is making the noticeable difference on delayed starting of the car.  Not sure.  I'm slowly looking over things at night to make sure I'm not leaving anything out.  More than welcome to call and schedule a look at the car if it'll help you decide.  Wish I had better pix.  
Also, to help prevent any false hopes, new members need to contact me before bidding, and bidders with negative feedback need not bid.  I have trouble in the past with fakers, and people upset that they didn't win at "their" price, and kept jacking up the bid to outbid others and then not pay.  Using an account just for that purpose with no intentions of buying.  
My name is Brent, 936-201-1803  lv a msg if no answer, because I'm probably busy, but I WILL get back to you...
Thanks, good luck!

Automotive Grade Linux will be the backbone of your connected car

Fri, Jan 6 2017

Creating a backend for a secure, reliable, and expandable infotainment system is costly and time consuming. The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization, has set out to promote and advance the Linux operating system in commercial products. Automotive Grade Linux, or AGL, is a group within the Foundation that seeks to apply a Linux backend to a number of automotive applications in a variety of vehicles from various suppliers and manufacturers. AGL's goal is to create a common, unifying framework that allows developers and manufacturers to easily implement applications across platforms. Currently, the focus is on infotainment systems, but AGL has plans for instrument clusters, heads-up displays, and eventually active safety software. At CES, a display from Panasonic showed a completely digital and customizable dashboard that allows information and apps to be moved from the gauge cluster to the infotainment screen and back, all through the use of gesture and touch controls. Although the organization has been around for five years, it's really only been in the past three that the group has been working hand in hand with automakers and suppliers. The first two OEMs to participate, Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover, have since been joined by Mazda, Suzuki, Ford, and, as of this week, Daimler. The latter is important as until now most of AGL's partner's have been based in Japan or the US. Other partners include suppliers Denso, Renesas, Continental, Qualcomm, and Intel. AGL want's to supply roughly 80 percent of the backend, allowing partners to then finish and refine the Linux system for each individual application. Think of how the Android operating system is refined and customized for individual smartphones from Samsung, LG, and Motorola. While the final product looks different, developers can have an application that will work across all AGL systems. Because it is open source, anyone can use and develop for AGL. You can even go onto the group's website and download a copy right now. There is also a software development kit available that helps facilitate app creation on the platform. Vehicle development cycles take roughly five years, so there currently are no cars that run an AGL backbone available for consumers. AGL Executive Director Dan Cauchy says products should be hitting the market later this year, with even more coming in 2018. Right now, the industry is relatively fragmented when it comes to infotainment and related systems.

U.S. issues new tariff threat, this time against British-built cars

Mon, Jan 27 2020

WASHINGTON — Britain is the United States' closest ally but their long friendship may be sorely tested as the two countries try to forge a new trade agreement after Britain's exit from the European Union. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Saturday in London that he was optimistic that a bilateral deal with Britain could be reached as soon as this year. But Mnuchin gave up no ground after a second meeting with his UK counterpart, Sajid Javid. Javid has insisted that Britain will proceed with a unilateral digital services tax, despite a U.S. threat to levy retaliatory tariffs on British-made autos. Mnuchin told reporters after Saturday's meeting that such taxes would discriminate against big U.S. tech companies like Alphabet Inc's Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon. The UK Treasury declined to comment on the private meeting. The divide highlights the challenges ahead as the Trump administration seeks a new bilateral agreement with Britain, part of a broader push to rebalance relations with nearly all its major trading partners. The stakes are high — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has pegged the trade deal with United States as a way to ease the pain of breaking with Europe, Britain's largest trade partner. U.S. President Donald Trump, has promised a "massive" trade deal to support Brexit, the product of a populist movement similar to his "America First" agenda. The goodwill and special relationship the two countries have enjoyed for decades may not count for much, experts say. "Trump is not going to be doing Johnson any favors," said Amanda Sloat, a senior fellow with the Brookings Institution in Washington. "He's not going to give him a trade deal without major concessions." Even before the digital tax issue arose, the Trump administration threatened to tax foreign car imports, which could hit British-made Jaguar, Land Rover, Mini, and Honda Civic hatchback cars. Stiff U.S. trade demands include increased access for U.S. farm goods, concessions that will be difficult for Britain's entrenched natural food culture to swallow. The United States also wants Britain to change the way its National Health Service prices drugs and allow in more U.S. pharmaceuticals, which could prove politically unpopular for Johnson's government. Washington's demand that London block Chinese telecoms equipment maker Huawei Technologies Co Ltd for national security reasons could also cloud talks.

Say goodbye to Jaguar's vestigial oval grille

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Jaguar has been on a campaign to replace any and all retro cues with modern ones. Just look at the current XJ and the one it replaced, or the XF and the S-Type that came before it and you'll know what we mean. The one remnant is the XK and its oval grille, in and of itself a throwback to Jags of old (which started to look more like a certain Star Wars alien in above-pictured XKR-S form). But don't expect it to hang around.
Newer Jaguars have been ditching the oval aperture for a more squared-off one, and the next XK will have to fall in line. But don't expect that to be the only change in store for the next-generation Jaguar coupe and convertible.
With the new F-Type now holding the more enthusiast-oriented ground, the next XK is expected to grow bigger, softer and more luxurious. That will likely mean a more commodious back seat as well, though that shouldn't be hard to do considering the lack of space in the back of the current model...
