This Jaguar is my father's long distance commute daily driver.  It has seen quite a few miles, 226051, mostly on highways.  He purchased it from a dealer, as a lease return, with 35000 miles on it.

All the while it has provided the 3 qualities Jaguar is known for, "Grace, Pace, and Space."

 It has a classic look, it is instantly identifieable as a Jaguar, a big greenhouse with delicate pillars and long hood and rear deck.  

The interior is all leather, burled wood, and wool carpets, it is a nice place to be, front or back.

The V8 under the hood combined with the aluminum construction make it fast.  On the highway it cruises beautifully, the quiet ride combined with the plentiful power means you will often find yourself travelling faster than you realized, that is why the k40 radar detector was installed.  The truth is that it has been a saving grace many times, the new owner will be pleased to have it.  I was plesantly surprised that the XJ8 handles twisty roads well, but of course it does, it's a Jaguar and that's part of their DNA.  

The original transmission died and was replaced with a rebuilt XJ8 unit at around 180000 miles. The "new" unit works perfectly and the drivetrain is smooth and powerful.

The car has some issues so it was decided that it is time to let it go.

The passenger side was damaged pulling into a garage. Both doors will need to be straightened and most likely the whole side will need to be repainted.  The rear molding was ripped off and will need to be replaced. On the upside, since the doors are aluminum there is no rust concern.

The fuel guage has been acting up recently, showing empty when it is not, suddenly going to E, etc.  It was diagnosed as a bad sender or sensor in the fuel tank.

The interior is in very good condition.  The seats are in very good shape, even the drivers seat is not really showing any wear.  There are only a few problems with the interior, it was a pipe smokers car. The headliner is sagging a bit across the back parcel shelf.  The leather on the rim of steering wheel is a bit worn  

It has recently been parked due to a bad front suspension. A leak was suspected and within days the front end sank to its current position. As seen in the pics the front air shocks don't hold air. During it's final drive it had to be stopped and started freqently to allow the front to pump itself up, that way it could be driven some distance, before it sank too low to be driven, the warning lights came on, and it had to be restarted.

The winning bidder will need to pick up the car in Franklin Lakes, NJ. 

It will most likely need to be towed.

CASH ONLY!

Jaguar Land Rover looks to hire hundreds of laid-off tech workers

Sun, Nov 20 2022

LONDON — Laid off tech industry workers in Britain could find a new home at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), as the 100-year-old luxury carmaker looks to hire hundreds of engineers to help develop electric car technology. The carmaker, which wants to become an "electric-first" business from 2025, on Friday announced a jobs portal for displaced tech workers to fill 800 roles spanning self-driving, electrification, machine learning and data science. The company said it believed workers leaving big tech groups like Amazon were most likely to have the required skills to fill new roles in Britain, Ireland, the United States, India, China and Hungary. The majority of the jobs will be in Britain. The hiring drive comes after thousands of layoffs in recent weeks at U.S. tech firms including Twitter, Meta and Amazon, some of which have offices in London and Dublin, Ireland. "Our digital transformation journey is well underway but being able to recruit highly skilled digital workers is an important next step," Chief Information Officer Anthony Battle said in a statement. JLR last year announced an electrification strategy under which all Jaguar cars would be fully electric by 2024 and an electric option would be offered across its entire portfolio including Land Rover. The company is owned by India's Tata Motors. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

2013 Jaguar XFR-S

Why Ask Questions When You Already Know The Answer?
"Is it fast?"
We get that question a lot. Several times a month, in fact, and it comes from every corner of our lives - friends, family, complete strangers and even colleagues from time to time. And it's an understandable query. After all, speed, either in a straight line or around a twisty bit of tarmac, is a universally accepted line of demarcation between the typical family sedan and something much more fun and therefore desirable.

Cat Scratch Fever: Jaguar's turnaround looks toward the US

Fri, Oct 9 2015

It is ironic that a British car company, steeped in the European sports-car tradition and now owned by an Indian industrial conglomerate, will ambitiously be seeking to attract customers in the United States with, of all things, a truck. But there it is: Jaguar's beefy F-Pace crossover, the first SUV in the company's 80-year history, hit the ground last month at the Frankfurt motor show. The F-Pace – along with the new XE sedan designed to take on the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4 both in Europe and on these shores – is spearheading the brand's hoped-for turnaround on this side of the Pond. In the States, Jaguar is still a big player for Tata Motors of India, which bought Jaguar Land Rover from Ford for $2.3 billion after months of back-and-forth negotiations in 2008. It seemed like an incredibly brassy move at the time, when the economy worldwide was reeling and Britain's automotive industry was on its heels. And while the Jaguar brand name has a grand historical resonance, in the first nine months of 2015 it moved just over 11,000 cars in the US, down five percent for the same period the previous year. But if Porsche can capitalize on SUV sales, so can Jaguar. The tea leaves are promising come next spring, when both new premium luxury models arrive in the US. The F-Pace will have a starting price of about $43,000; the sedan range starts at a competitive $35,000. View 25 Photos Architecturally, both models are similar, with a modular aluminum chassis, and, for the F-Pace, a range of gasoline and diesel engines for Europe as well as rear- or all-wheel drive. For the American market, the model-year 2017 crossover will launch with a 380-horsepower gasoline V6 mated to an eight-speed transmission and all-wheel drive. Later in 2016, a 180-hp four-cylinder Ingenium diesel is expected to be added to the lineup. Both models are currently built in the UK, although if demand increases, Jaguar is likely to shift some production to Brazil, China, or Eastern Europe. I wanted a Jaguar that was designed as a crossover, not the other way round. For Jaguar design director Ian Callum, who showed up at the SUV's formal debut in Frankfurt, skepticism – did we mention that Jaguar was a sports-car company? – turned to enthusiasm as his team worked to develop some "drama" in the SUV's shape. "I wanted a Jaguar that was designed as a crossover, not the other way round," he said.
