JAGUAR IS ARGUABLY IN A CLASS BY ITSELF...the German luxury brands are good cars
of course, but there's something a bit more exclusive about a Jaguar. The car seems more
comparable to its English cousins. . .Aston-Martin, Rolls & Bentley than to the more
common luxury brands that you see everywhere all the time.
This is all the more reason to realize that you could never buy more
sophistication,
craftsmanship, and beauty for your money than you will receive with this fine thoroughbred in
your driveway. Keep in mind, that its $74,355 price tag in 2001 translates to
$100,067 in 2014 dollars...and is now available to you for only a fraction of the price.
LOCATION: The car was purchased new in Atlanta and is located in Metro-Atlanta

WHY THIS JAGUAR IS SPECIAL...Executive-owned by a prominent Atlanta CEO, it has received the best of care.
BE CAREFUL IN YOUR SEARCH FOR JAGUAR XKs OF THIS VINTAGE...because there is nothing as expensive to own as a cheaply bought Jaguar!
Conversely, there is nothing more rewarding than owning a well maintained and cared-for example!
These cars are true automotive "thoroughbreds" and need to be treated and maintained as such. They do not well tolerate abuse, neglect, or uncaring ownership.
DO NOT buy a 1997-2001 era Jaguar XK without knowing that the following essential preventative maintenance investments have been made:
• Up-to-date Metal Timing Chain Tensioners (originally a plastic material that is virtually guaranteed to need eventual upgrading to metal)...typically $1200 or more
• Updated clutch drum (major transmission component)...typically $2400 or more
• Fully Serviced with fresh Oil & Coolant Flush/Replacement. . .typically $300 at the dealership
• NEW TIRES...over $400
TOTAL COST OF THE SERVICES ABOVE THAT HAVE BEEN PERFORMED BY A TOP-RATED JAGUAR TECHNICIAN ON THIS JAGUAR: OVER $4300

DRIVING THIS JAGUAR WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW CELEBRITIES FEEL...you WILL be noticed! And the gorgeous upcoming fall scenery will be more beautiful than you may have ever before noticed!
The expanse of genuine burl walnut is
unmatched by any of its competitors, and the leather quality is a definite notch above,
as well. And, no other other make of car has the same level of mastery for both ride and handling!
There are "used" cars. . .and there are the pampered cars of
respectful and appreciative
owners that retain their value and timeless looks. . .and this Jaguar is
decidedly in the
latter category.

was in storage when photos were taken. The only noted fault is the little door that
popped off the passenger's visor mirror (note final images at right).

INVESTMENT POTENTIAL...well-maintained Jaguars are among the most desirable motorcars on the road today. The 2001 XK Convertible has already entered the exclusive ranks of "modern-day" collectibles...poised for increasing interest and demand in the near future...especially since Jaguar recently announced the discontinuance of the revered XK model line.

ABOUT ME: I am an avid car enthusiast. After retiring from 30 years of

and throughout the United
States.
IMPORTANT FINAL REMARKS & CONDITIONS OF SALE...the
Buyer will receive a Notarized Bill of Sale and the Georgia-issued (clear)

Therefore, there are no warranties or liabilities expressed or implied, and the car - like all previously owned vehicles - is sold on a strictly as-is and final basis.
Pre-purchase
examination of the car (if desired) is welcomed before (not after) the
auction's closing and can be easily arranged by appointment.
