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. |

Jaguar gets to work on next-gen XF sedan
Mon, 22 Sep 2014With the XE now out in the open, Jaguar can begin to focus on what comes next. That means a new crossover, but also replacements for some of its aging current models - chief among them, the XF. Introduced back in 2007, Jaguar's mid-range sedan is growing a little long in the tooth. But from these latest spy shots, we can see that the British automaker is hard at work developing its successor.
Expected to be based on the same iQ A1 platform that underpins the new XE, the new XF promises to be lighter in weight and more advanced than the model it replaces. Look for most of the same engines to carry over, including gasoline and diesel options ranging from four cylinders to eight, with and without forced induction, with a potential plug-in hybrid version to follow. The current model is available in rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations and in sedan and wagon body styles, and we'd expect its replacement to follow suit.
The low-profile wheels and dual exhaust pipes on one of the prototypes spotted suggests it would lie somewhere near the top of the range, while the second prototype packs taller sidewalls and a trailer hitch. It's hard to discern much esle from the spy shots, heavily camouflaged as they are, but as with the technology underneath, we'd expect styling to takes some cues from the smaller XE as well. Jaguar will, of course, need to tread the line between distinctive and understated if it's going to fend off the Maserati Ghibli and take a bigger slice of the pie away from the likes of the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the Lexus GS and Infiniti Q70, the Cadillac CTS and the upcoming new Volvo S90.
Jaguar details new Ingenium four-cylinder engines [w/video]
Mon, 29 Sep 2014When Jaguar lifted the veil on its new XE sports sedan earlier this month, it only revealed details on one engine - that being the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 in the flagship XE S. But we already knew that the British automaker's new entry-level model will offer many other powertrain options, and now it has revealed a little more.
Jaguar has been developing a new family of 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines it calls Ingenium, which will be offered in a wide array of configurations and specifications. In advance of its debut at the upcoming Paris Motor Show, the Leaping Cat marque has announced the specifications of the two diesel versions. The first will offer 161 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque and some of the best environmental credentials on the market. There will also be a more potent version with 177 hp and 317 lb-ft, which Jaguar says is "one of the highest torque outputs in the class." Either way, both versions feature variable exhaust valve timing, cooled low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation and selective catalytic reduction technologies to help meet the stringent Euro 6 standards.
That's all well and fine, but considering that Jaguar doesn't offer diesels in North America, the chances of these oil-burners making their way Stateside seem slim. But if you watch the video below, you'll also find basic specs on their gasoline counterparts as well. Like the diesels, they're turbocharged and displace 2.0 liters, but in petrol form, they offer 197 hp and 206 lb-ft of torque, or 236 hp and 250 lb-ft.
2016 Jaguar XF mule spied in Germany
Wed, 30 Oct 2013From our best guess, the Jaguar test mule shown in these spy shots could very well be our first glimpse at the next-generation Jaguar XF, due out around the 2016 model year. The current XF has been around for five years already (launched in 2008), and this mule is likely testing powertrain or chassis components for a new version of the midsize Jaguar sedan.
With what seems to be a stretched wheelbase and wider track, this is almost certainly not a mule for the 3 Series-fighting Jaguar XS. That being said, though, there is also the outside chance that this could be a mule for other future Jaguar Land Rover products including a production version of the Jaguar C-X17 crossover or the Jaguar-based Range Rover Grand Evoque. Only time will tell what these images truly foretell, but if nothing else, it proves that Jaguar is definitely staying busy these days.
