Made in the UK 1998 Jaguar XJ8 with 90,341 original miles. Vehicle has been running fine up until last week, that's when the transmission started slipping, that's when the transmission fault code and engine light came on.  Overall, very good physical condition for it's age (just a few minors dings, but no rust present).   I took it to a local auto repair shop and was hoping the transmission fluid could be changed, however, when the auto repair shop put it on their machine, 3 gear fault codes were identified (I do not know which ones).   The auto repair shop said more than likely it needs another transmission, but I have not had anyone else check out the vehicle since so I can't confirm exactly what needs to be done.   I was able to drive the car home with the transmission fault present, but parked the car and haven't driven it since.  

I've owned the vehicle since 43,020 miles, and this is the first time I've had transmission issues.  Comes with OEM upgraded Jaguar rims and Pirelli PZero tires which 3 are in good condition (left front tire is wearing on the inside, so will eventually need to be replaced).   Rims are tires cost $3,600.00 alone.  Heat, air conditioning, radio, CD player, and garage door opener works.  Full spare tire and two sets of remote keys included.  New water pump, coolant hoses, belt, and newer style aluminum thermostat housing installed 3 - 4 years ago.  


Car is sold as is;  no warranties are guarantees implied and not interested in selling parts off the car.  You are buying the entire car with engine, rims, tires, etc.  


Here are the known issues I can think of at the moment (I will update accordingly as I remember anything additional): 


1.  Antenna is broken, so it needs to be replaced.  

2.  Memory setting does not save position settings for driver's seat.

3.  Rear view mirror is loose (Not sure how to fix this).

4.  Headliner upholstery above rear seats is sagging.  


Additional pics available upon request.  


Pickup:  The car must be picked up locally.  Under no circumstances will I be able to make any type of arrangements other than local pickup.  Since the car is experiencing transmission issues, I strongly suggest it be towed as opposed to driven.  


Payment:  Payment is due within 72 hours of the auction ends.

Jaguar XK and F-Type meet for final sibling faceoff

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

There's nothing that real, dyed-in-the-wool car geeks love so much as to say "Old Car X is actually a lot better than New Car Y." For reasons that defy both logic and science, we all (your author included) are able to, almost simultaneously, bitch about needed advancements in current vehicles and then bemoan character lost in the next crop.
Mitsubishi Evo models have been supremely prone to this bifurcation of opinion in recent years (ask an Evo IX fanboy about the Evo X sometime... ), and performance cars wearing WRX, Mustang, and M3 badges have been deeply subject to it, as well.
The Jaguar XK and F-Type are not exactly in the same one-model, generational-changeover form as those mentioned above, but that doesn't mean that there aren't defenders of both the old dog and the new joint. Autocar seeks the truth of the matter in this new video, and we're just happy to come along for the ride. May the best sib win.

Evo pits Jaguar XKR-S vs. Mercedes SL63 AMG in heavyweight droptop fight

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

We recently received the sad news that the Jaguar XK is ceasing production by the end of the year, but what better way to bid it farewell than with some big, smoky powerslides? The retirement of the sporty GT isn't actually the topic of the latest video from Evo - it's on hand to compete against the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG to see which is faster around a track. Still, we can think of it as a wonderful sendoff for the Jag.
Both convertible grand tourers get their laps around the course, and they couldn't be more different. Driver Jethro Bovingdon gets some grins out of them both, but absolutely giggles while behind the wheel of the XKR-S convertible. The SL63 AMG is the more powerful of the two, but as we know, that doesn't always matter at a racetrack. You'll just have to scroll down and watch the video to see which of them is actually the winner.

Watch thieves dressed like ninjas hit dealership, steal $583,000 worth of Land Rovers

Fri, Feb 23 2024

WAUKESHA, Wis. — A group of teenagers believed to be from the Chicago area broke into a luxury car dealership in Wisconsin and drove off with nine vehicles worth more than a half-million dollars, police said. Sunday's heist at a Jaguar-Land Rover dealership in Waukesha was captured on surveillance camera footage showing nine masked suspects filing into the dealership before each drives off in a car in the city about 19 miles (30.5 kilometers) west of Milwaukee. The video also shows one car being backed up and smashed through an overhead service door. Waukesha Police Capt. Dan Baumann said the suspects broke into the dealership about 6 a.m. Sunday, found where its car keys were stored and then activated those key fobs to find the cars they stole. “Nine subjects went out and throughout there looking for keys. One person finds where the keys were hidden and then starts to disseminate those to his friends,” Baumann told WISN-TV. The nine vehicles are valued at more than $583,000, he said. One suspect, a 17-year-old Chicago boy, was arrested Sunday in the southern Wisconsin community of Pleasant Prairie after the stolen vehicle he was driving crashed along Interstate 94 during a police pursuit. He was being held at the Waukesha County Jail on a $50,000 bond and faces burglary, theft and criminal damage to property charges, Baumann said. Police said Sunday that the suspects are believed to be “an organized crime group of teenagers from the Chicago area.” Baumann said Friday that all or most of the teen suspects are known to members of a police task force in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois and police in that two-state region were still searching Friday for the eight other suspects. Six of the nine stolen vehicles have been recovered — four in Chicago, one in the Chicago suburb of Deerfield, and one in Wisconsin after the highway crash that led to the 17-year-old's arrest, he said.
