I bought this beautiful car here on Ebay in October last year. I live in an area where they salt the roads during the winter, so I did not drive it all winter. This spring, I've put less than 1000 miles on the car. So everything I know about the car is based on what I was told when I bought it, or what I've discovered about it in this short time.
The car has 125,xxx miles on it, but cosmetically you wouldn't know it. There are no wrecks on the carfax. (I will send you a copy of the carfax upon request.)
Exterior:
The bad first: there is a split in the front air-dam, passenger side. This hides nicely, but there'll be no surprises. Otherwise, the paint is very-good, with only a minor chip or scratch here and there. Not what one would expect of a car with over 100k miles. A previous owner had the factory staggered-fitment wheels chromed. They look good from 50', but as you get closer, the chrome is peeling. The tires are brand-new Continental Extreme Contact DWS. All glass is good, all lights work. The rear spoiler has been wrapped in a 3M DiNoc wrap.
Interior:
The interior is likewise very, very nice. Even the Driver's bolster, where leather seats tend to show age, is pristine. NO BLEMISHES, cracks, stains, un-stitched seams or anything of the sort. The leather is as nice as I've ever seen. The carpets are in good condition as well, with no bare-spots or worn areas. There is a professionally-installed, integrated entertainment system in the car, with a DVD player in the glove-box, and screens / Game Consoles in the headrests. Also included with the entertainment system is a 120v power receptacle in the rear console. The headliner is in very good condition. This has NOT been a smoker's car.
Mechanically:
We'll get to the motor below.
The Transmission appears to have been professionally serviced, as the pan and hardware is newer. (Any who are familiar with these transmissions will know that the filter is part of the pan, such that you cannot replace the filter without replacing the pan). The trans was very crisp, with none of the issues that are frequently associated with these transmissions: no lurch, no squonk. Shifts perfectly. The CATS Suspension also seems to have been serviced (replaced?) recently, as the shocks are a bright color, and the CATS system works BEAUTIFULLY. Brakes are great. I've had no reason to look into them. Basically: EVERYTHING ON THIS CAR WORKS PERFECTLY. (except the motor)
The Motor:
The motor was running very strongly, but had a minor "vibration" that I was trying to decide if it was motor or mount. One day it became a "rattle', and then immediately a "thunk-thunk". I have not had the motor apart, but the hole in the block and the rod-bolt in the belly-pan tell the story: You'll need a new motor. All of the ancillary equipment is good: Supercharger, Compressor, Alternator, Etc Etc Etc. There is a member of the Jaguar Forums who has an STR motor for sale. Last I knew, he was asking $600 for a motor with unknown history. Motors with warranties are available on Ebay, or from wrecking yards, or your favorite indie-shop.
The car is located in Salt Lake City. I am happy to work with your shipper. The title is clear. Please buy this from me, so I don't need to part it out. (If I'm going to spend the time parting-it, I might as well spend the time repairing it. But I don;t have the time to do either.)

Jaguar C-X17 resurfaces in China with gold finish, five-seat cabin [w/video]
Sun, 24 Nov 2013Some concept cars make the rounds of the auto shows and are then retired. But a number of automakers are showing that a fresh coat of paint can go a long way towards rejuvenating a show car and giving it a new lease on life - at least as far as the auto show circuit is concerned. Lexus did that recently with the LF-LC concept, initially unveiling it in red at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, then repainting it a dark shade of blue for the subsequent shows in Australia and LA. Mini did the same with the Rocketman concept. And now Jaguar has done it again with its C-X17.
Initially unveiled in electric blue at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Jaguar then rolled the crossover out again in liquid silver for the Dubai Motor Show earlier this month. Now the concept is back again at the Guangzhou Motor Show in China with a fresh coat of rose gold.
Looking decidedly more luxurious than the previous iterations, this gilded C-X17 concept also bears another change: while the previous versions featured a four-seat cabin, this one has been redone with a more conventional five-seat configuration that more buyers would likely go for. It's also got a new interactive infotainment system and another system that warns passengers of pedestrians or cyclists approaching from the rear before they open the door. Check it out in the high-res image gallery above and the video clip below for a closer look.
2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR is the quickest kitty in Geneva
Tue, Mar 1 2016"Always follow your local speed limits," says a disclaimer at the bottom of Jaguar's press materials for its new F-Type SVR. Granted, every single new car you can buy in America is capable of accelerating well past the highest official speed limit in the United States. This new Jaguar, though, is another matter entirely, boasting as it does a top speed of 200 miles per hour. Not since the famed XJ220 has Jaguar offered such a compelling speedster. Whereas that slinky coupe relied on a 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 engine and a five-speed manual transmission, the 2017 F-Type SVR benefits from a supercharged, 5.0-liter V8 pushing out 575 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic. Also unlike the supercar of old, the SVR's all-wheel-drive system means it can potentially serve as an all-weather sportscar. My, how times have changed. Looking past its headline-grabbing 200-mph capabilities, the F-Type SVR can accelerate from 0-60 in a scant 3.5 seconds in coupe form. Buyers who prefer the wind in their hair get slightly lower performance peaks, with a 186-mph top speed and a 3.9-second run to 60. Either way, this Jag will make its owner look good, with aggressive hood vents, massive air intakes in the fascia and a carbon-fiber spoiler that automatically raises and lowers from the car's rear haunches. Considering that the F-Type V8 is already one of the best sounding cars for sale in America, we have no doubt that the SVR, with its brand-new inconel titanium exhaust system, will emit a sound second only to God's own chariot. Pricing starts at $126,945 for the coupe or $129,795 for the convertible. If we have one complaint, it's that British Racing Green is not one of the seven available colors. For shame, Jaguar. Make ours Ultra Blue and we'll forgive you, just this once. View 16 Photos Related Video:
2015 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe [w/video]
Thu, 16 Jan 2014This is it. This is the nasty cat we've been hankering for most. Whereas the Jaguar F-Type convertible remains the company's purest expression of lifestyle fun and expendable income, it's this coupe version that originally stole our eyeballs and never gave them back when it debuted as the C-X16 Concept way back at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. And now we've had an early turn at driving the most potent variant, the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe.
This F-Type Coupe design is so utterly visually stunning that, even if something dynamically or functionally was not really to our liking, we would still want to have the wherewithal to buy one and garage it, if only to stare at it - not unlike our reaction to the 2007-2009 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione coupe, then. Whether such beauty needs to be in the form of this $99,000 mondo 542-horsepower R version or the more attainable six-cylinder trim is an open question.
In case you need reminding, that's 542 horses maxing out at 6,500 rpm, along with 502 pound-feet of torque on tap between 2,500 and 5,500 revs. There is no indicator yet as to whether Jaguar will eventually come out with an R version beyond the 488-hp V8 S for the convertible, either, so this may well be our only shot at such hair-brained antics in this small Jag. Small and not quite light, we should add - despite its all-aluminum goodness - the F Coupe rings in at 3,638 pounds. That sort of heft is one thing on the street, but it's quite another on a twisty roadcourse, and we aimed to figure out if the coupe's 80-percent greater stiffness versus the open F-Type (along with its higher attendant spring rates) were enough to make a big difference.
