2007 Jaguar Xk Base Convertible 2-door 4.2l on 2040-cars
Brunswick, Georgia, United States
|
Nothing is perfect, but this car is about as close as you could expect for a used. It looks practically perfect, it drives practically perfectly, and everything works. The factory chrome wheels had some rust spots, so I just installed $5,000 worth of brand new chrome wheels and Dunlop SP Sport MAXX TT tires - they have less than 1,000 miles on them. I drive the car to work daily, so the mileage will change from the listing accordingly, but the round trip is only 16 miles, so it's not mounting up quickly. The car is located in Brunswick Georgia, and can be seen and driven at just about any time. It's difficult to appreciate from the photos, but this car has a metal flake paint that makes the dark blue come alive like deep water, and the finish is outstanding. I am the second owner, and have had the car 18 months. I'm only selling because I'm retiring within 2-3 years, and while I thought this would be a fun retirement toy, I now am too afraid of the economy to keep such an expensive toy - got to downgrade to something cheap and practical. The first owner was a lady who receives a new car from her grandfather's trust every 5 years. She put 42,000 miles on it in 5 years, and it was pampered by the dealer. I have had to do nothing to the car but replace the front brakes, and I do keep it garaged and serviced. NOTE: Please don't be put off by negative feedback on another car I sold on ebay a few months ago. That was a car that had been wrecked and rebuilt, sold with a "rebuilt" title, clearly disclosed as such, with everything described that I knew about the car's damage and restoration, and the caveat: this car is being sold as-is, where-is, so please come and inspect it before bidding. The fellow who eventually bought it bid without inspecting the car. I sent him an email and said that I would prefer he come inspect it, because I didn't want any misunderstandings. He said at the price offered, with the photos included, and my description, he was satisfied to buy without inspection. So of course, after he bought the car and had it shipped to him, he began to nag me about "things wrong with the car that you didn't disclose." I knew this was bogus, because he claimed several things such as, the car not only needed a front-end alignment, but the shop where he took it told him that "it couldn't be aligned." I sent him a copy of the receipt where the car had been aligned at a local new car dealership only two weeks prior to the sale, including the sheet showing the in-spec results of the alignment. He claimed the convertible top wouldn't work, so I sent him a copy of the receipt where I had taken the car to the Lexus dealer in Jacksonville only 3 weeks prior to the sale, where (all clearly shown on the invoice), I asked for a diagnosis, for "convertible top operates by does not always close and latch securely," and the report was, "right rear top position switch adjusted, top now operates properly." I could go on. While this is a much different automobile that has never been damaged (other than the minor dent I described above), and it has a clear title - STILL - TO PROTECT BOTH YOURSELF AND ME - please come inspect and drive the car. I will be perfectly happy to go with you to take the car to any shop or dealer you want to perform a complete inspection. |

2014 Jaguar F-Type
Wed, 17 Apr 2013Stepping Into The Lion's Den With A Big-Hearted Cat
If you're like me - and our demographics suggests you are - you've probably never seen a new Jaguar sportscar at your local showroom. I'm 36, and it hasn't happened in my lifetime... and not by a little bit. Oh, there have been a string of XK coupes and convertibles, and as of late, there have even been some genuine high-performance specials - namely the R, R-S and R-S GT models - but their basis has always been the 2+2 grand tourer shell, not a lighter and smaller footprint with more intrinsic sporting intent. The truth is that it's been a half-century since Jaguar introduced a proper new sportscar. Today, most people know the brand strictly as a purveyor of wood- and hide-lined luxury sedans.
In fact, if you're not an enthusiast with some appreciation for the marque's history, it's a bit odd to hear Jaguar executives proclaim that they are a sportscar company and always have been. By their reckoning, the 2014 F-Type seen here is in fact a return to form, a Rip Van Winkled brand pillar reanimated and reimagined to take center stage. It's a sentiment that must be particularly odd for car shoppers in developing markets like China, where Jaguar hasn't even been selling cars for very long. Yet because the original 1961 E-Type is perhaps the most gorgeous car ever to lay ply on the world's roads, we're prepared to cut them some slack.
Jaguar Land Rover tech tracks brainwaves, heart, lungs
Wed, Jun 17 2015Jaguar Land Rover has been on a bit of a tech kick lately, and its latest is called Mind Sense, which uses biometric sensors to monitor and enhance the driver's level of alertness. Jaguar is installing brainwave sensors adapted from NASA into the steering wheel of an XJ sedan, along with medical-grade heart and respiratory sensors in the seat. Together, the sensors would determine if the driver is focused on the road, dozing off, merely thinking about something else, or if the driver's stress level suddenly peaks. The system would enable the vehicle to better prepare for an emergency, or for a future autonomous vehicle to hand off control to a better-prepared driver where needed. At the same time, JLR is also working on an enhanced infotainment system designed to reduce the amount of time the driver's hands are off the wheel and their eyes are off the road. The system determines which control they're reaching for on the display and engages it while their finger is still in mid-air, deploying an ultrasonic pulse to provide artificial haptic feedback without actually having to touch anything. Finally, a new haptic accelerator pedal is under development that could alert the driver to respond to an impending situation without overloading the senses with chimes and beeps. These latest developments follow the demonstration of a remote-control system installed on a Range Rover Sport, and follow in a long line of new technologies under development by the British automaker. JAGUAR LAND ROVER ROAD SAFETY RESEARCH INCLUDES BRAIN WAVE MONITORING TO IMPROVE DRIVER CONCENTRATION AND REDUCE ACCIDENTS - Jaguar Land Rover's pioneering Mind Sense project is researching measuring brainwaves to monitor driver concentration in the car - Researchers are developing a Wellness Seat in a Jaguar XJ which analyses the driver's heart rate and breathing to monitor driver health and stress - Touchscreens that predict which button you want to press as the user's fingers are in mid-air - to minimise time spent with eyes off the road - Jaguar Land Rover researchers use new haptic accelerator pedal to communicate hazards to the driver Whitley, UK: Jaguar Land Rover has revealed a range of new road safety technology research projects that are being developed to reduce the number of accidents caused by drivers who are stressed, distracted and not concentrating on the road ahead.
Editors' Choice: Top Five 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show Debuts
Thu, Sep 17 2015Consider the 2015-16 auto show season officially kicked off. The Frankfurt Motor Show offered a great look at the newest crop of production cars and conceptual machines, and brought some old favorites back into the spotlight for a closer look. (The Alfa Romeo Giulia, for example, debuted in June, but this was the first time most of us saw it.) Now that the dust has settled and we're all on flights back to the US, our editors cast their votes for their personal favorites from the Frankfurt show. These are the cars we truly loved seeing the most. But unlike other shows, there was no one runaway winner – all of the Top Five received positive praise from our team. We won't spoil the results, though. Scroll down to see what we liked most from this year's Frankfurt expo. 5th Place – MERCEDES-BENZ IAA CONCEPT View 12 Photos MIKE AUSTIN: The clean lines on this concept have me excited for a more elegant beauty to future Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Next to the Concept IAA, the lovely S-Class Coupe looks like an overstyled barge. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Yeah, the extendable rear is neat and all, but I'm more interested in the front-end styling of this one. It looks like the Tron version of a 300SL, in a good way. I'm hopeful it portends the future of Mercedes design. STEVEN EWING: I was super impressed when Mercedes said that, with the rear end extended, this concept has a drag coefficient of just 0.19. That's crazy aerodynamic. I'm not head-over-heels about the styling, but I think the lessons learned from this concept are really important, and will play a huge role in the future of Mercedes' products. 4th Place – ALFA ROMEO GIULIA View 15 Photos SEYTH MIERSMA: I can hardly express how in love with this car I am. The styling feels creative, modern, and evocative, without going over the top. The proposed performance is spectacular. And the Alfa badge speaks to a legacy of romantic motoring. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Pretty Italian car makes big promises and will probably deliver on about three quarters of them. I think that will still be enough for me. JEREMY KORZENIEWSKI: I'm really intrigued by the Giulia. It looks great, sounds awesome, and I'm expecting it to have a load more character than its German rivals. I hope I'm not disappointed. 3rd Place – JAGUAR F-PACE View 15 Photos GREG MIGLIORE: It's the first SUV for Jaguar, and I think they nailed the design, capability, and electronics. It's the right car at the right time.
