 My wife's XK8. Great running car, very reliable, fast and comfortable. New front brakes and rotors. I would drive it to California and back. Black paint still nice with normal wear. Nice original interior with normal wear , see pics. Tires have 50% left. One small dent on passenger side front fender (see pic).
Clear "lemon" NJ title: it means that the car was bought back early in its life by Jaguar because of a recall. The car was fixed and re-sold by Jaguar. There is a sticker in the door that shows the recall. The car kept the lemon title since but that doesn't affect the ability to drive and register the car anywhere.
The power top is disconnected and the top has to be open and close manually which is an easy operation. The Jag dealer said it's due to a faulty safety module that I found to be available for $208 on ebay.
The car has intermittent faulty message warnings: ABS, Stability control and sometime Rear bulb. Jaguar Ray Catena in Edison diagnosed a faulty ABS module and one wheel speed sensor. I have found both these parts easily available on ebay for $50 and $59, much cheaper than at the Jag dealer! I am selling the car as is and will not make these repairs.
Spare wheel has the original brand new Pirelli spare tire.
The car just passed the NJ inspection good for 2 years. We are driving it everyday, millage may change a little.
Please call or email for any question: Chris 609 865 3989.
The car is available for test drive in Princeton NJ.
No reserve auction so be prepared to buy the car and pay for it if you bid. Deposit is expected immediately at the end of the auction. 
Thank you

Jaguar XE SVR to challenge M3, C63 with supercharged V8 power

Tue, Oct 14 2014

Jaguar has a healthy powertrain range lined up for its new XE, including an array of four-cylinder engines and a supercharged 3.0-liter six that will, for now, serve as the range-topping offering in the XE S. But Car and Driver claims to have it on good authority that an even more powerful eight-cylinder version is in the works, as well. According to C/D, the XE's engine bay has been designed to accommodate the company's ubiquitous 5.0-liter V8 engine, which in the larger XF is offered in several states of tune, including the XF Supercharged with 470 horsepower, the XFR with 510 hp and the flagship XFR-S with 550 hp. Just which version (or versions) would be offered in the XE remains to be seen, but even in its lowest-spec supercharged form, the 470-hp version would already be enough to challenge the 425-hp BMW M3 and the base 469-hp version of the new Mercedes-AMG C63. If Jaguar wants to take on the C63 S, however, it will need to shoehorn in one of the more powerful versions. In the end, Coventry's new Special Vehicle Operations division may opt to offer two versions, like it does with the XFR and XFR-S. Expect the top version, however much muscle it packs, to wear the British automaker's new SVR badge. It just may take a few years before it does so.

Evo pits Jaguar XKR-S vs. Mercedes SL63 AMG in heavyweight droptop fight

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

We recently received the sad news that the Jaguar XK is ceasing production by the end of the year, but what better way to bid it farewell than with some big, smoky powerslides? The retirement of the sporty GT isn't actually the topic of the latest video from Evo - it's on hand to compete against the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG to see which is faster around a track. Still, we can think of it as a wonderful sendoff for the Jag.
Both convertible grand tourers get their laps around the course, and they couldn't be more different. Driver Jethro Bovingdon gets some grins out of them both, but absolutely giggles while behind the wheel of the XKR-S convertible. The SL63 AMG is the more powerful of the two, but as we know, that doesn't always matter at a racetrack. You'll just have to scroll down and watch the video to see which of them is actually the winner.

Evil Brits star in Jaguar's first-ever Super Bowl commercial

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Chrysler's Imported from Detroit commercial from Super Bowl XLV is one of the most powerful car commercials in recent memory, and Jaguar is taking a similar approach - albeit with a more villainous spin - for its first-ever Super Bowl spot titled Rendezvous. While Chrysler and Eminem focused on hometown cheerleading, Jaguar is using its $8 million (the going rate for a 60-second commercial in this year's game) to play up the Hollywood tradition of typecasting a Brit as the bad guy.
In the spot highlighting the all-new F-Type Coupe, Jaguar looked to director Tom Hooper (the man behind movies like The King's Speech and 2012's Les Misérables), who filmed on location in London with British bad guy actors Mark Strong, Ben Kingsley and Tom Hiddleston. As the commercial implies, Brits make perfect bad guys with their style, sound and power, which are all traits evident in the F-Type.
The commercial will air in the fourth quarter of this Sunday's game, but you can watch it now in the video posted below. Jaguar has also included a press release as well as a second behind-the-scenes video showing how the ad was made.
