2002 Jaguar Xj8 Vanden Plas 20 Inch Rims. Tons Of Maintenance Records 300hp on 2040-cars
Chandler, Arizona, United States
|
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

Is this a Jaguar or Land Rover of the future? Yes, the near future
Tue, Feb 18 2020Jaguar Land Rover has unveiled a concept vehicle, Project Vector, that the company heralds as preview of future urban transport. The Project Vector is an EV, naturally, and is built on a skateboard chassis with all mechanicals under the floor. That provides for maximum space efficiency in the city-sized vehicle—JLR says it's roughly four meters long, which would make it about half a foot longer than today's Mini Cooper hardtop. It also allows for reconfigurability. The interior is accessed via dual center-opening sliding doors on one side. Four individual seats appear to be mounted on tracks and are shown facing in the same direction, but JLR also says the vehicle can be adapted for delivery use (presumably with most of the seats removed). Project Vector is described as "autonomous-ready," but for now it has a steering wheel and pedals. It's also claimed to be optimized for ride-sharing or private use. The vehicle was developed at the UK's National Automotive Innovation Centre, with the intention to make it a part of the "urban mobility solutions" in the "ecosystem of a smart city," according to JLR. The first such smart city will be Coventry, where an "urban mobility service" will be launched in 2021.

Jaguar XF gets performance-look R-Sport trim
Wed, 26 Feb 2014If you're looking for all the style of a sports sedan but without the added expense of springing for a full-on performance model (and keeping it fed with fuel and fresh tires), most European automakers will gladly hook you up with an all-show, no-go package. BMW has its M-Sport aero kits, Audi its S-Line, and Mercedes its AMG Sport packs. And now Jaguar is getting in on the action with the launch of the new R-Sport line.
Set to be introduced on the XF at the Geneva Motor Show, the R-Sport trim at least some of the flash of the XFR or XFR-S but with a more economical engine and a relatively accessible price of entry. (This is, after all, still a Jag.) The XF R-Sport is distinguished by a sportier front bumper, side sills, rear spoiler, 17-inch wheels and unique badging to set it apart from any "ordinary" Jaguar XF. The interior is upgraded as well, and there's an optional black styling pack to take things even further.
Jaguar is offering the XF R-Sport in either sedan or wagon form with the 2.2-liter turbodiesel producing 161 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, fitted with a spot-start system to make it a far more frugal option than the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 in the real deal. Although this version won't be coming to US as you see it here, Jaguar tells Autoblog it's always possible it'll produce a similar aesthetic treatment for the North American market - just don't count on such models arriving under diesel motivation. We'll take a closer look at them in Geneva next week, but for now, you can check out the gallery and press release below for an idea of what to expect.
Jaguar F-Type Project 7 leaks in production trim ahead of Goodwood debut
Tue, 24 Jun 2014Just yesterday we brought you word that Jaguar was planning to bring something special to the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year - the first product of its Special Operations division - and now we have it right here.
Previewed in concept form last year, Jaguar's big reveal appears to be the production version of the Project 7 show car - an extreme speedster version of the F-Type. Though we still don't have official details, these images leaked courtesy of 4WheelsNews show that the roadster seems to have lost little in the transition from concept to reality.
The bright blue paint job has been replaced by a more British shade of green, but the white trim - including the racing stripes running across (not up) the hood, the grille surround and the number circle on the door - appear to have carried over. As has the D-Type-inspired, fin-like, single raised cowling on the rear deck, though now positioned behind the left-hand driver's seat instead of the right. The wheels are fresh and the front lip spoiler looks even bigger, and the rear wing appears to have been reshaped.
