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 Land Rover to cut output and jobs due to Brexit, diesel slump

Fri, Apr 13 2018

LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover will cut around 1,000 jobs and production at two of its English factories due to a fall in sales caused by uncertainty around Brexit and confusion over diesel policy, a source told Reuters. Output will be cut at its central English Solihull and Castle Bromwich plants, affecting some 1,000 agency workers, the source said. A spokesman at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) declined to comment on the number of jobs which would be lost but the firm said it would be making changes to its output plans. "In light of the continuing headwinds impacting the car industry, we are making some adjustments to our production schedules and the level of agency staff," the company said in a statement. It is not renewing the contracts of a number of agency staff at the Solihull site and would be informing staff on Monday of its plans for the 2018-19 financial year. In January, the firm said it would temporarily reduce production at its other British plant of Halewood later this year in response to weakening demand due to Brexit and tax hikes on diesel cars but did not detail any job losses. Jaguar sales are down 26 percent so far this year whilst Land Rover demand dropped 20 percent in its home market as buyers shun diesel, concerned over planned tax rises and possible bans and restrictions in several countries. "It's been obvious to everyone that sales have been dropping," the source said. British new car registrations have been falling for a year which the car industry body has partly blamed on weakening consumer confidence in the wake of the Brexit vote, after record demand in 2015 and 2016.

In the wake of Tesla's recent success, it's easy to forget that there were once two California electric carmakers with bright futures.

Jaguar Land Rover planning to allow owners to earn cryptocurrency

Mon, Apr 29 2019

Jaguar Land Rover, Britain's largest auto manufacturer, said on Monday it is testing software that will allow drivers of its cars to earn the IOTA cryptocurrency as a reward for sharing data. The company is developing what it calls "smart wallet" technology to be installed in its automobiles. This would reward Jaguar car drivers with IOTA coins for actions such as enabling their vehicles to automatically report useful data, such as traffic congestion or potholes to navigation providers or local authorities. Drivers could also earn rewards if the car participates in a ride-sharing program, Jaguar said. The tokens earned could be used to pay for tolls, parking and charging for electric cars. The overall goal was to "achieve zero emissions, zero accidents, and zero congestion," the company said. Global car companies are exploring blockchain applications, figuring out different ways in which they can leverage the technology to suit their different needs. Blockchain, the system powering cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, is a shared database that is maintained by a network of computers connected to the internet. The British car company is testing the technology at the new Jaguar Land Rover software engineering base in Shannon, Ireland, where engineers have already equipped several vehicles, including the Jaguar F-PACE and Range Rover Velar, with "smart wallet" features, the company said. It does not yet have a timetable for when it will be commercially available, said Jaguar, a subsidiary of Tata Motors. The IOTA token is based on a distributed ledger technology that enables people and machines to transfer money and data without any transaction fees. IOTA trades on digital asset exchanges and was last at 27 U.S. cents per token. "The smart wallet technology ... can be easily adapted into all new vehicles," Dominik Schiener, IOTA co-founder and co-chairman of its board, told Reuters on Friday. "IOTA wants to enable interoperability with all these different players. So there is no Jaguar coin, no BMW coin, but one universal token for this machine economy," he added.
