Up for auction we have a 2004 Jaguar XJR Sedan 4.2L Super changed V8. If you've looked at the pictures you can tell the car is in pretty nice shape for it's age and mileage but it does have some issues that need to be addressed (the low reserve reflects the need to address these issues) and I will lead with those:

Needs addressed:
Check engine, ABS, Park Brake, Cat Fault, Low Brake Fluid light(s) illuminated
Windshield (has crack)
Rear Bumper Side Marker (PS has crack)
Paint faded in a couple spots (Detail should take care of it)

The check engine light and the other lights were diagnosed by a Jaguar service tech (along with the local Jaguar dealer) and determined to be caused by a faulty YAW sensor. Im not too good with cars but what was explained too me is that the reason the other lights are illuminated (ABS, Cat Fault, Air Suspension, Low Brake Fluid ETC) is because they all work in conjunction with the YAW sensor. Replacing the sensor and programing (Dealer quoted $700.00 and independent repair shop quoted $450.00) and reprograming of the sensor should fix the light and the other codes in the car I honestly just don't have the money to foot the bill for the repairs right now which is the reason I haven't fixed it. The car runs and drives just fine as-is but I cannot get it smoged because it passed the tailpipe test but the check engine light makes it fail automatically.

Other than the few items listed above the car is in great shape and even with the lights on the dash runs and drives very well. Actually other than the lights being on I haven't noticed any difference in the drivability of the car whatsoever. It drives the same as if the lights were not on and as I mentioned before I am not really mechanically inclined in terms of European cars but I would say that it doesn't drive any different at all. 

The Good:
Overall the car looks and runs and drives great (even with the lights illuminated)
Clean title
The car has awesome power and performance 
The interior is nice and clean and the leather seats are nice and comfy
Low miles for a car that is a 2004
Very comfortable car to take on longer drives 

In a nutshell this car has great power and is really comfortable to drive down the road or on long trips. If it wasn't for my current financial situation I wouldn't sell but I need the $ for more important things and this is a luxury and not a necessity at this time which is why it has to go. The reserve on this car is low because of the issues and I am sure that someone who runs across this listing who may be mechanically inclined could very well fix this and get a great deal on a great car. Look at my feedback and eBay history before bidding. I have been on here quite awhile and always do my best to list my items accurately and honestly and my feedback shows this. I just want to be very clear that this car does need some work in order to pass smog (which it cannot as of now because of the check engine light) and seeing is how it is almost 11 years old it is not show room new but no car (save for show cars) are show room new after 11 years. 

I am more than willing to answer questions on this listing to try and make prospective buyers feel comfortable in bidding for the vehicle since I know that there will be questions. If you have any please message me and I will respond within 24 hours.

Jaguar crossover won't be based on Evoque or have off-road chops

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Jaguar's long-rumored crossover won't be built on the same platform as the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, says the Australian site Car Advice. The future of the new CUV remains uncertain, but if Jaguar does dip its toes into the SUV/crossover pool, though, the new vehicle will likely be a car-based soft roader, lacking (or perhaps more appropriately, not needing) the off-road-engineered chops inherent in Land Rover's small CUV platform.
Jaguar product planner Steven De Ploey explained to Car Advice, "There's many groups around the world [platform sharing] - obviously Volkswagen Group is doing it all the time - but I think we have to be careful. He added, "Jaguar is something quite different... It's about capability, but very much on-road focused capability." That seems to gel with our suspicions that the XQ, as it's expected to be called, will share its platform with an upcoming small Jaguar sedan, the oft-rumored X-Type successor.
Still, we'd recommend taking any mention of a Jaguar crossover with a grain of salt. Based on many of the (quite compelling) statements made by De Ploey against a Jag crossover and previous statements made by Jag's design boss, Ian Callum, the case against a leaper-bearing crossover seems strong. If a high-rider were to arrive from Jaguar, though, the article insinuates that it'd be more in line with the BMW X6 or upcoming X4 - sort of a coupe-based crossover. Like we said, grain of salt. If a Jag crossover is going to arrive soon, the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show is the most likely locale for its debut. We'll find out in a few weeks.

Jaguar-based Eagle E-Type Low Drag GT makes its bid for most beautiful car ever with EVO

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

The Jaguar E-Type is one of the icons of automotive design, and British company Eagle has made a business out of restoring, upgrading and building their bespoke versions for the last 30 years. It does for the E-Type what Singer does for the Porsche 911 - takes an already great classic car and updates its mechanicals for the modern age.
The firm's latest creation, the Low Drag GT, might be its greatest ever, at least according to editor Henry Catchpole in Evo magazine's latest video. The car takes its inspiration from a trio of low-drag E-Type coupes built in the 1960s, but thoroughly modernizes the concept. The engine is based on Jag's inline-six, but made from aluminum and bored out to 4.7 liters to produce 346 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. Catchpole says it's enough to propel it to 60 miles per hour in about 4.5 seconds. The body, transmission and differential are all also made from aluminum to cut the weight to 2,288 pounds, and modern upgrades include Ohlins dampers, AP Racing brakes and even extras like concealed GPS navigation and an Alcantara headliner. There's more head- and legroom than the originals, too.
Each car is built bespoke for each buyer, so prices vary, but Catchpole says the one he is in would run about half the cost of a LaFerrari - around $700,000.

Watch new Jaguar XF perform a literal high-wire act

Thu, Mar 26 2015

Coming out with a new luxury sedan can be a truly daunting prospect. Make it too edgy and you'll risk disenfranchising what can often be a rather conservative customer base. Make it too conservative and you may fail to attract enough new customers or generate enough interest to make the endeavor worthwhile. Whether Jaguar succeeded in walking that thin line with the new XF is a matter of personal taste, blending as it does elements from the smaller XE and the outgoing XF it replaces. But in launching the new model, Jaguar didn't just pull of a figurative high-wire act – it did quite a literal one. To drum up support for its newest debut, Jaguar undertook the stunt depicted in the video above, stringing a pair of carbon-fiber cables some 60 feet above the River Thames in London. With some guide wires and counterbalance weights to keep it all in check, and a motion-picture stunt crew orchestrating it all, the new XF drove over 780 feet from one bank of the river to the other, setting a new world record in the process. Instead of thinking too hard about the whys (seriously, though... why?) and hows, we suggest you just watch the video above. Related Video:
