2002 jaguar extended wheelbase VDP. Vanden plas model has much more room inside and at 6'5'' i really notice it compared to my XJR. She has around 103,500 miles and bc of the needed octopus coolant hose repair, the miles will not move up much as she is mostly just garaged now due to HOA issues. Unfortunately, My HOA has towed me 4 times for having too many cars and I need to sell two quickly sooooo the Jag has to go at no reserve starting at a penny...She is a great car that I have almost completely fixed. She has a few problems left I will mention below, but she has a lot of important work done on these Jags and myself and my uncle in UT have been the only owners since 30k miles. She is garaged and washed and waxed regularly so for her age the paint is still nice with no AZ sun damage. I have over 7000 in maintenance records. In the last 10k miles we have done the valve cover gaskets..(MY DAD AND I DID THOSE), power steering pump and hose, fuel pump and fuel filter, new front brakes and new front drilled and slotted rotors, 2 mobile 1 oil changes, new battery with warranty, AND NEW FRONT DOOR CABLE. Since I have owned it at 60k miles we have done the UPGRADED TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS (OVER $2K JOB), SPARK PLUGS, MOTOR MOUNTS, TRANNY MOUNTS, ENTIRE COOLANT SYSTEM HOSES AND TANK..EXCEPT THE OCTOPUS HOSE WHICH NEEDS REPAIR!!! WILL GET TO THAT LATER....LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS, UPGRADED TEHERMOSTAT HOUSING AND THERMOSTAT, SHOCK LOWER MOUNT, SUBFRAME MOUNT, UPPER BALL JOINTS, SWAY BAR LINK, CAMSHAFT GASKETS......A LOT! ENGINE HAS ONLY SEEN MOBIL 1 THE BAD ON HER : RESTORED REBUILT TITLE, NOT SALVAGE...I GUESS THERE IS A DIFFERENCE? FROM SOMETHING IN 2003...NEVER BOTHERED ME AND IT WAS EASY TO GET GOOD GEICO INSURANCE ABS LIGHT ON..RESEARCH THIS IT IS VERY COMMON AND IF U HAVE SOLDERING SKILLS IT IS DIY...RESOLDERING OF METAL PINS ON ABS MODULE OR ..PLEASE NOTE YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO ANYTHING AS WELL AND CAN LIVE WITH THE LIGHT IF YOU DO NOT MIND BC THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE NEW AND BRAKES WORK PERFECT. MARKS ON FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS...PURELY COSMETIC...SOME SCRATCHES HERE AND THERE TYPICAL OF AGE... CURRENTLY HAVE A CHILD SEAT AND BASE SOMEHOW STUCK COMPLETELY IN THE BACK MIDDLE....HAVING THAT LOOKED AT, BUT SOMEHOW THE DAMN BASE PIERCED THE BELT I THINK...SO WORST CASE WE WILL HAVE TO CUT THE MIDDLE SEATBELT IN THE BACK...HOPEFULLY NOT THOUGH.. PASSENGER MOST HEADLIGHT LENS GLASS IS BROKEN...SOME JACKASS SMASHED A BEER BOTTLE ON IT I THINK...U CAN FIND THE LENS ON EBAY OR JUNKYARDS... THIS IS THE MAJOR ISSUE..OCTOPUS HEATER HOSE BEHIND ENGINE WAS NOT REPLACED WHEN THE REST OF THE COOLANT HOSES AND TANK WERE REPLACED FOR SOME REASON...PROB THE BEHIND THE DAMN ENGINE LOCATION, AND IT IS NOW LEAKING AND YOU NEED TO FIX IT AS THESE CARS AND COOLANT LEAKS ARE NOT A GOOD COMBO...OCTOPUS HOSE IS OEM #MNC6733AE FOR 175.00 ON EBAY AND I WAS QUOTED 2.5 HOURS REPAIR BY Jag and on my Jag forum many people have done it themselves..it did take one guy 8 hours though...WITH THE HOSE YOU HOW IT IS NOW YOU CAN TOP OFF AND DRIVE SHORT DISTANCES, BUT YOU REALLY NEED TO DO THIS ASAP AND SHE WILL BE A GREAT CAR FOR SOMEONE AS I DID ALL THE MAJOR REPAIRS YOU RUN INTO. SHE IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH NO WARRANTY. I am not a dealer and if the buyer is from instate i know there is no sales tax..She is currently garaged, but I can arrange showings...thanks and good luck! someone will get a nice steal on her...68k msrp when she was new... SO YES SHE HAS A FEW SMALL ISSUES, BUT WITH THAT OCTOPUS HEATER HOSE FIX SHE WILL BE A GREAT CAR AT A STEAL PRICE...SHE STILL GETS A LOT OF LOOKS WITH ALL THE CHROME..RIMS ARE GF DRIVEN ON SO DO HAVE MARKS, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE IN PICS STILL LOOK GREAT FROM 5 FEET..RIMS ARE ALLOY TECH AND WERE 1500 NEW. 20 INCH. EMAIL ME OR TEXT FIRST 518-774-7840...I WORK A LOT AND DO NOT ANSWER CALLS AT WORK SO TEXTS WORK BEST UNTIL I CAN FIN TIME TO TALK...THANKS AND GOOD LUCK  photo 049.jpg  photo 048.jpg  photo 047-1.jpg  photo 045-1.jpg  photo 044-1.jpg  photo 043-1.jpg  photo 042-1.jpg  photo 041-1.jpg  photo 040-1.jpg  photo 039-1.jpg  photo 038-1.jpg  photo 035-1.jpg  photo 033-1.jpg  photo 032-1.jpg  photo 031-1.jpg  photo 030-1.jpg  photo 028-1.jpg  photo 025-1.jpg  photo 024-1.jpg  photo 023-1.jpg  photo 022-1.jpg  photo 021-1.jpg  photo 020-1.jpg  photo 019-1.jpg  photo 018-1.jpg  photo 017-1.jpg  photo 016-1.jpg  photo 015-1.jpg  photo 014-1.jpg  photo 013-1.jpg  photo 011-1.jpg  photo 010-1.jpg  photo 009-1.jpg  photo 008-1.jpg  photo 007-2.jpg  photo 006-2.jpg  photo 005-2.jpg  photo 005-2.jpg  photo 003-2.jpg  photo 0022.jpg  photo 001-2.jpg  photo 002-2.jpg

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

Jaguar C-X17 resurfaces in China with gold finish, five-seat cabin [w/video]

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

Some 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.
