This is your chance to own a one of a kind Jaguar S-type V8. This car needs to have the timing chains and tensioners changed before it cant be driven. Included in this auction are all the genuine Jaguar Parts you will need to complete the job. EVERYTHING from gaskets to chains to bolts is included, if you dropped this car off at the dealership and they told you what all you needed you would have it here. All new gaskets even a new oil filter and antifreeze I bought everything. I bought all of these parts from my Jaguar dealership and they are authentic costing more that the Buy it Now price of this auction. I have had lots of things done to the car including a new transmission 2 years ago for $4,378.09. The car also has brand new shocks on it from where it was lowered. The lowering kit was H&R springs along with the new shocks. There is no wheel rub even with three people in the back seat. Fender sits about an inch off of front and rear fender wells. I also had a new thermostat and thermostat housing along with both breather houses replaced.  

The car was painted by a professional body shop not someone sitting in their garage with spray cans. The paint is SEM Hot Rod black. It is unique because it is flat black but it has a clear coat mixed in with the paint so your paint stays protected from the sun. It was painted about 3 years ago and pain is in great shape just the normal rock chips here and there. I replaced the upper and lower grills on the Jaguar to give it the look of a S-Type R. The grills are made of thick steel and not cheap mesh. The headlights have chrome rings around them that go with the grills. The leaper on the hood was also replaced to go along with the grills and headlights. The taillights are also tinted with NIGHTSHADES but can easily be removed if you do not like it. Car has 19" Baccarat rims all the way around with removable chrome pieces. I got a flat tire and the 4th rim is in the trunk but car has a full sized spare on it.

Car comes with just about every option you could get, sunroof, CATS system, Sport mode option, Navigation, Wood interior.

The interior of the car is in great shape minus the drivers seat which is showing some wear as you would expect from a car that is 14 years old. The windows are tinted fairly dark and you will need to check with local laws to see if they are legal in your area. The battery is located in the trunk of the car and was replaced about a year ago. You could not even buy all of the timing chain parts from jaguar for the buy it now price. Just so you know what kind of a deal you are getting here is a list of what the parts on the car and timing components cost me:

Transmission $4739

Thermostat and housing $300

Timing Parts $2800

Paint job $3100

Chrome Grilles $300

Shocks and lowering spring $800

Chrome Headlight Bezels $80

New Leaper $130

New Headliner $475

Tinted windows $130

Rims $1200

Thermostat and housing $300

HID Headlights and fog lights $200

That's $14,554 all the saving passed on to you.

This is a mechanics delight or someone else who is a bit more savy than me with cars. The certified Jaguar mechanic I had look at it said it can be swapped out in a day and ready to run but I do not have the time or money to fix it right now so I think it should go to someone else who would appreciate it. I am sad to sell is because it is my favorite of all my cars but I do not have a choice.

I have done my best to describe the car to you if you have any questions feel free to ask . I will help with shipping in any way possible. Good Luck and happy Bidding.

California adapts ZEV mandate with PHEVs for smaller automakers

Fri, Jun 5 2015

California is the nation's largest market for zero-emissions vehicles with over 100,000 of them estimated to be on the roads there. The state's goal is to keep that number growing every year. To that end, the California Air Resources Board is now tweaking its rules in a way that might not boost ZEVs but could mean more plug-in hybrids for the Golden State. Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Volvo asked for an exemption to the state's zero-emissions vehicle mandate last year due to their relatively small development budgets compared to larger automakers. CARB denied their request but did craft a compromise, according to Automotive News. Rather than being required to offer a ZEV in the state, companies with an annual global revenue of less than $40 billion, like those in this group, may instead sell plug-in hybrids to earn ZEV credits. The companies aren't completely off the hook, though. If these plug-in hybrids don't earn enough credits, the corporations must buy them on the market to make up the difference. Automakers with popular electric models like Nissan and Tesla have made a big business through this trading system by selling their surplus to rivals. Tesla alone pocketed $51 million in the first quarter from this part of its business, according to Automotive News. The changes to the regulations also aren't set in stone, yet. CARB is meeting in 2016 and could adjust things further at that time.

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs

Wed, Nov 29 2017

BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining

Jaguar XE teased in new video, will debut September 8

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

Outside of a major auto show, this might be one of the best times of the year for new car debuts, and we couldn't be more excited. Just this week, the low-slung face of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata showed itself to the world, and Land Rover debuted its new Discovery Sport. Plus, there's a double-whammy of launches on the imminent horizon with the unveilings of the Jaguar XE on September 8 and the Mercedes-AMG GT on September 9.
Jag is teasing the launch of its latest midsize luxury sedan with a few glimpses on video. It's strangely secretive, given the fact that Jaguar showed the XE's face completely un-camouflaged a few weeks ago. Regardless, it's quite a looker up front with a sleeker take on the shape of the larger XF.
Because of the way Jaguar is slowly leaking details about the XE, there are a few other things we already know about this new cat, too. It rides on a monocoque chassis made from over 75 percent aluminum, and the automaker is promising 75 miles per gallon fuel economy on the more lenient European cycle for at least one engine in the lineup.
