Beautiful, Rust Free Florida Car With Reliable Straight 6 Engine - Runs Great! on 2040-cars
Mazomanie, Wisconsin, United States
|
For sale is a 1993 Jaguar XJS luxury touring car in authentic original condition. Paul Dean of the LA Times describes it as "prowling, low-heeled and thoroughly seductive." This car spent most of its life in a Florida car buff's collection before coming to Wisconsin, where it was stored rarely driven. This is an absolutely solid car with no sign of rust and the most minimal of blemishes, which are pointed out in the photos and described here. The car starts with no issue whatsoever and drives like a Jag should. And it looks beautiful, right down to the "leaper" hood ornament.
This model is one of the re-invented Jags produced after Ford bought the Brit operation and put a full-court press on quality improvements. Most significant is the engine – a reliable, thrifty 4.0-liter, 24-valve, all-aluminum inline 6 with 4.0 liters gathering 223 horsepower. This is NOT the infamous finicky 12-cylinder engine that has given Jags a bad rap. Again, to quote Paul Dean at the LA Times, "The smaller engine makes for a more agile, better balanced car. Minus six cylinders and 200 pounds of engine metal, the JS gets off the line a smidge faster than the previous guard and seems just as athletic in higher acceleration ranges. It most certainly is easier on premium unleaded." It does get very good mileage -- originally rated at 17 city, 24 highway. Body: As stated earlier, no rust whatsoever. As shown in the photos, the paint quality is extremely good - not faded or dulled. There are a total of 3 minor blemishes on the exterior, all on the rear passenger corner. One is a small spot the size of a nickel at the outer corner of the trunk as shown in the photo. The other two blemishes are small "creases" in the metal only seen at an angle. Each is about 4" long, and looks like it was dinged by something small like a shopping cart. The paint is intact. All chrome is intact and in extremely good condition. There is about a 3/4" piece of rubber guard missing from the chrome on the passenger side door. All lights and turn signals work fine. Integrated fog lights are stock on this car. Trunk is immaculate and has a Jaguar 6-disc CD changer. Tires/Wheels: New Le Mans SR performance tires. Interior: Full Connolly leather interior with beautiful burl walnut trim. Has power seats with memories. Driver's seat shows crackling and wear, but no rips. Other seats are in extremely good condition. Back seats look as if they've never been used, and if you know about the size of a Jag's back seat, you know why. Car is equipped with automatic climate control and ice-cold air conditioning. This Jag also has a trip computer and alarm. Non-functioning cruise control. Dash and headliner in excellent condition -- no cracks, no tears. Glove box was lacking a lock mechanism; we've replaced it with a magnet. There is a driver's side air bag. Mechanicals: Everything operates as it should. Car has a 4-speed automatic transmission and anti-lock brakes. There are no leaks and it maintains its fluid levels. This car sold new for $49,750. |

New Jaguar crossover to be called 'XQ'?
Wed, 08 May 2013As part of its upcoming portfolio expansion, Jaguar will be adding two key models to its lineup in the next few years. The first is a small, 3 Series-fighting sedan tentatively called XS, and the other is said to be a new crossover, which may be dubbed XQ, as Edmunds reports. Jaguar filed a trademark application for the name "XQ" with the United States Patent and Trademark Office earlier this year, according to the report.
Jaguar executives have long said that the company is investigating new, higher-volume segments for the brand to compete in, and this certainly isn't the first time we've heard rumors of a CUV with a pouncing cat badge. Edmunds opines that since the Land Rover brand will no doubt continue to tackle the more traditional SUV segments, the Jaguar brand could easily house an offering in the luxury crossover market.
As for how a Jaguar CUV could come to fruition, Edmunds offers two suggestions. The first would be to build a vehicle on the smaller platform that will underpin the XS, as it will accommodate both rear- and all-wheel-drive applications and will be used for a number of differently sized vehicles. The second, more logical suggestion, is that the Jag CUV will ride on a version of the all-aluminum D7u platform used in the Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.
Jaguar Project 7 Concept
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Jaguar Project 7 Concept debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed just last month. But unlike most concepts, which serve only to collect fingerprints on a stage, the track-ready one-seater spent its days barreling past the hillclimb crowds with Mike Cross, chief engineer of vehicle integrity at Jaguar, beaming behind its right-hand-drive steering wheel. What's more, the powers that be at Jaguar even let yours truly drive the Project 7 during the Concurs d'Elegance festivities at Pebble Beach last week.
Built on an all-aluminum V8 F-Type chassis with modified suspension, the Project 7 (a name acknowledging Jaguar's seven Le Mans wins between 1951-1990) is best thought of as an F-Type masquerading as a D-Type. The two-door is fitted with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 good for 550 horsepower (no pictures as Jaguar wouldn't allow us to open the hood). An eight-speed automatic, with a torque converter, sends the power the rear wheels, allowing the single-seat roadster to crack the 60-mph benchmark in just over four seconds.
Modifications to the bodywork include a new lowered windshield, carbon-fiber aerodynamics and a rear fairing with integrated rollover hoop. The driving position has also been lowered by more than an inch, allowing the sole occupant to not only escape the airflow, but take advantage of a lower center of gravity.
Jaguar demanding customer data from reluctant dealers
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
Nearly every major business is collecting consumer data these days, and keeping that data secure has come to the forefront of many customer's minds. Jaguar Land Rover North America's decision to begin requesting more customer info from its dealer network appears unfortunately timed, however. If it had come a few years ago, it might have been ignored, but in today's climate of heightened awareness, a few dealers are pushing back. To put the showrooms in an even tougher position, JLR NA is threatening to deny quarterly incentives if they do not turn over the customer data, according to Automotive News.
JLR NA instated the nationwide plan, which it calls Single View CRM, on February 7, but according to Stuart Schorr, Jaguar Land Rover North America Vice President of Communications, the automaker has been negotiating with its dealers to institute the new program for over a year. Schorr tells Autoblog that no financial information is being shared, noting that such data is limited to customer details, including things like what vehicles they own and whether they have any pending service. The initiative is meant to "improve customers' and owners' engagement with the brand," he said. Also, the company is not accessing dealer data itself; instead showrooms are asked to enter the info into JLR's database.
