1998 JAGUAR XK8 CONVERTIBLE - 87,593 CARFAX DOCUMENTED MILES - 4 OWNERS - 3 MINOR ACCIDENTS

New York State Residents Please Understand Your Restrictions When Bidding On This Vehicle.


No frame or air bag issues.

Runs and drives excellent.

Fairly new tires and ice cold AC.

Top is in excellent condition and works properly.

As you can see, it will not pass NY State inspection due to the minor headlight damage.

Fender and bumper also are affected - headlight works.

The check suspension light comes on but it seems to drive nicely.

The check engine light does not come on.

When making a hard turn over a bump, the left front tire slightly rubs on the inner fender well.

There is no evidence of tire wear on the tires - car tracks straight.

Clear coat on driver's door is worn and there is very minor clear coat wear on the mirrors, brake light on trunk and between the windshield and convertible top.

Slight discoloration on driver seat.

Otherwise it's a pretty car - shiny overall paint and would be a fun driver for a reasonable price.

This vehicle is going to the highest bidder in As Is condition.

No Reserve!

Because this car won't pass NY State inspection ...


New York residents are unable to bid or buy unless they are a registered car dealer, registering/re-titling the vehicle out of state or are using it for “Parts Only”.

When a car is sold as “Parts Only’ or “Salvage” it must pass a NY State “Salvage Inspection”. This is done to keep rebuilt wrecks that are unsafe off the road – especially vehicles with frame damage or airbag deployment. My cars are rarely rebuildable wrecks and therefore will easily pass this strict inspection process when the problem that is advertised is corrected. There are about 10 to 15 NY State salvage inspection sites in NY State – 2 or 3 are on Long Island and there are a couple in NY City. Call me for further clarification.

As a registered NY State dealer I am unable to sell a car that won’t pass inspection to a NY State resident. Anyone else can bid and buy. Sorry, I don’t make the rules but as a used car dealer I must abide by them.

Any questions call 516-297-2277 and leave a message if I’m not in. Please don’t wait until the last day or last few hours to contact me. Please speak clearly.

If you choose to email me, please note that I don’t always answer back immediately.

I will pick you up at the train or bus station.

 

Winning bidder please leave a $300.00 non-refundable deposit in PayPal within 48 hours of the auction close. If I don't receive the deposit within the 48 hours I will re-list the car.

 

Please plan on picking this vehicle up within 15 days of the auction close unless you have made prior arrangements with me before bidding. If the vehicle has not been picked up after 30 days, a $100.00 storage will be applied to the balance due.

 

All vehicles that run and drive are driven at least 10 to 20 miles and usually 30 to 40 miles or more. I try to describe these vehicles to the best of my 44 years of experience. Our familiarity with these autos is limited to the miles we drive them. Please be aware of this when bidding.

 

As always, if the winning bidder is not happy after examination and road test, I will cancel the sale and refund $250.00 of your deposit.

 

Attention “Phantom/No-Show” bidders – I do not entertain any second place bids and always re-list the vehicle.

If your feedback is 1 or lower you must contact me prior to bidding. If you don’t contact me your bid will be cancelled and you will be blocked from further bidding.

 

Final sale price is what you pay! (New York residents must pay sales tax and inspection fee when applicable.) There are no extra hidden fees!!!

 

We will accept any and all trade-ins or will visit you to purchase any vehicle outright within a 50 mile radius of zip code 11554.

 

Good luck and thanks for looking!
