1992 Jaguar Xjs Base Convertible 2-door 5.3l on 2040-cars
Sparks, Nevada, United States

Like New! This 1992 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible was purchase for my Mother by her husband in late 1991 as a 5 year marriage gift. My Mother and her husband died in a private plane crash in 1995 which at that time my sister inherit it in 1995 with 11606 miles. My sister drove it as a daily driver until she died in 2004 which the car had 67971 miles. The car was suppose to go to me but the courts awarded the car to my X brother in law. Her husband then register the car into his name and drove it until 2006 which it then had 71393 miles. In 2006 my brother in law gained weight and was unable to drive the car on a full time basics. From 2006 until 2011 the car was drove an average 191 miles per year. In 2012 my brother in law gained more weight and became ill and was unable to drive any car. In 2012 I took my brother in law to court for title of the car. In 2012 & 2013 there was a non-opp put on the car. The car sit for 2 years before the courts awarded me title. Since 2006 until now (2014) there has only been 1686 miles put on my 1992 Jaguar XJS. When I picked up the car in late 2013, it needed a battery to start the car up. I put a battery in it and the car started right up. No smoke from exhaust. It sounded as if the car had never been stored. I drove it about 10 feet then got out to expect for any oil leaks on the ground. There were no leaks. I took it about 5 miles on a test drive, trans shifted OK, all gauges worked fine, radio worked, door locks, everything in the car worked fine and there were no noises coming from the engine. I then put it on a car trailer and headed home. Once home I cleaned the engine compartment, replace all hoses, replace all electrical wiring, change engine oil and trans fluid and had the coolant system flushed. Had AC charged (AC blows cold) and replace all ABS wiring. Had brake job done both front and rear. Tires were pretty much rotten out from sitting for two years so tires were replace. Spare tire is ORGINAL from factory and car has orginal tool kit. Car had factory Cassette Radio which I replace with New Alpine CD player. I still have the orginal radio with the radio code. As of Nov 2013 I started to complete the car as being Showroom Condition. As of Nov 2013 I have invested over $17000. Everything that I could get that was OEM I purchased. New Convertible Top, New Headliner, New Convertible Top Cover. New Wood Trim, New Interior, Carpet was in perfect shape and all it needed was a good carpet dyeing. I replaces all switches because the pictures on each switch had worn off because of 23 years of use. Center Console redone. New 48 oz carpet mats and it has a car cover with cover bag When I took the car in for paint, I have a signed statement from the owner of the Paint shop saying that there were NO RUST found any where on the car (Calif Born Car) and that there were NO DENTS on the car. I also have Two History Reports, one from Auto Check and Vin Check Pro for my XJS. The Paint job has a Life Time Warranty which is transferable. Once at the paint shop, all crome and front and rear chrome bumpers was removed and refished. Front and rear window rubber were replace. Both door window rubber replace. Convertible Top rubber inserts replace. The car is now like new. When the engine is at an idle, you can not tell if the engine is running without looking at the RPM gauge. I'm selling my XJS because also I'm a big person. At 6'2 and my weight at 275 pounds it take alot for me to get in and out of her plus being a sports coupe it's not like driving a big Caddie plus the main reason is, it just brings back to many memories. This Car sold back in 1992 for $68900. The only difference between now and back in 1992 is the car is now 22 years older and it has 73000 miles on it...... But looks as if he just came off the showroom floor. Maybe this car was the car of your dreams 22 years ago but at that time it was not in your bugget or simply put, you couldn't afford it!
On Feb-27-14 at 09:49:33 PST, seller added the following information: Hello. I having a small problem with the Auto History Report and their Auto Check Score. Auto check has me a score of 35 which is below range which there range is from 36-62. I ordered a History Report from them on 12/06/2013 which my rating was 44 which at that time the car had not been painted and nothing had been done to the interior. I contacted E Bay to have them correct this issue which they said they could not help me. To correct this problem I had to call History Report and explain the issue on why did my rating dropped from 44 to 35 in two months. They said the reason the score was 35 was because there were 5 owners since 1992. I corrected them with documentation that I'm the 4th owner and all perious owners were from same family. History Report said they will correct the problem within 10 days.....Lots of help, my auction only last for 10 days. The reason on adding this comment is because I've had a few emails wanting to know why the rating is low and at the same time I'm claiming the car is in Mint Condition. |

2013 Jaguar XF Sportbrake
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Editor's Note: Our reporter was anxious to get some time behind the wheel of the XF Sportbrake, even though Jaguar only had a very small window available for us to drive it. As a result, we weren't able to capture our usual original images to go with the Quick Spin story. Please accept our regrets, and Jag's lovely stock photography, instead.
The last wagon attempt from Jaguar was the X-Type, built between 2003 and that model line's unceremonious end in 2009. That X-Type and its legacy represent a real dog of a chapter for Jaguar, and for the Halewood factory where the barker was built. It was the final joke told prior to the brand's proper rebirth phase - a phase we're enjoying the heck out of today.
Current magnanimous Jaguar owner Tata can be thanked for this new wagon, the XF Sportbrake. Like all newness coming from Jag these days, this new wagon also feels lightyears more serious an offering, ready to compete squarely with established premium wagon makers across Europe. A Jaguar wagon in America is a far-off priority for the company, frankly. Still we deserve to know what we're missing for the time being from this (sometimes overly) cherished British firm.
Jaguar Land Rover moves closer to building Slovakia plant
Tue, Aug 11 2015Jaguar Land Rover has announced its intention to build a new assembly plant in Slovakia. Though it has yet to make the final decision, the British automaker has signed a Letter of Intent with the Slovakian government. Its next step is to launch a feasibility study before committing. If the company does go ahead with plans, it wouldn't be the first automaker – or even the first European luxury automaker for that matter – to start producing in Slovakia. Nor would it be the first Jaguar Land Rover plant outside the UK, either. The Volkswagen Group, PSA Peugeot Citroen, and Kia all manufacture in the Central European country. VW's Bratislava plant in particular handles production of the Touareg, Audi Q7, and Porsche Cayenne. In the past few years, JLR has expanded its production capacity to new locations outside of the UK. It has a new factory in China, one under construction in Brazil, and has been manufacturing in India – home country of its parent company Tata – since 2011. It recently announced a manufacturing contract with Magna Steyr in Austria, and is investing in its facilities back home as well. Though yet to be finalized, the prospect of manufacturing in Slovakia has proven more favorable to JLR than other locations in Europe or in the United States or Mexico – all possibilities that the company says it looked into. It has yet to reveal just what it would produce there, saying only that "the plant would manufacture a range of aluminium Jaguar Land Rover vehicles," that the plant would be earmarked to come online in 2018 and eventually ramp up production to 300,000 vehicles. The prevailing wisdom would seem to indicate, however, that the site is being considered for the next-generation Land Rover Defender.

With its established premium automotive industry, Slovakia is an attractive possible development opportunity.
A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
