For Sale: 2004 Jaguar XK8 Convertible – A Timeless Classic
Are you ready to own a piece of automotive elegance? Look no further! I’m selling my stunning 2004 Jaguar XK8, a true gem with only 99,800 miles. This beauty is dressed to impress in a sleek silver exterior, complemented by a luxurious black leather interior and a black convertible top.
Features & Condition:
- Impeccable Interior: Step inside to find an interior that’s barely aged. Door panels, seats, rugs, floor mats, and the center console leather are in fantastic condition, showing hardly any wear. All wood surfaces gleam with perfection.
- Smooth Operations: The A/C, heat, and stereo system work flawlessly, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable ride. The convertible top operates smoothly, just as it should.
- Weekend Warrior: I originally bought this Jaguar as a weekend car, but with three classic vehicles to restore and drive, it’s time to let this one find a new home. It’s been lovingly maintained and is ready for its next adventure.
Recent Upgrades: I’ve invested in numerous upgrades to keep this Jaguar in top shape, including:
- Replaced engine oil pan, valve cover, and intake manifold gaskets
- New fuel injection throttle body mounting gasket
- Replaced air mass meter hose and intake manifold gasket
- New front and rear brake rotors with ceramic brake pads (no brake dust!)
- Upgraded power steering pump, return line, and cooler line
- Replaced front seat reclining motor
- Transmission serviced including all fluid and filter changed
- New radiator reserve tank, air filters
- Brand new battery
Known Quirks: Every classic car has its character, and this Jaguar is no exception:
- The antenna motor works fine, but the antenna doesn’t raise or lower. I’m including a replacement antenna with the sale.
- The driver’s side window drops a 1/4 inch when the door opens for convertible top clearance but sometimes quickly goes back up when you let go of the handle. Sometimes it goes down a 1/4 inch and just stays there. It’s a minor quirk I’ve gotten used to. I just put up the window when I get in the car.
- The paint is mostly shiny and nice but has a few minor flaws on the trunk and rear passenger side fender. They’re hard to see in pictures unless you get close. I’m meticulous about paint, always keeping my cars shined, waxed, and garaged.
Extras:
- Comes with all manuals, one key and fob, receipts for work done, and a tonneau cover for when the top is down.
- I’ll even throw in my waterproof car cover for added protection.
- Car title in hand
Performance: I recently took the Jaguar on a 180-mile round trip without a hitch. It’s tight, comfortable, and quiet inside – everything you’d expect from a classic English automobile. This car has good bones for a 20-year-old vehicle and is an excellent project car.
Details:
- Selling As-Is: No implied warranties, but I’ve been as transparent as possible about the car’s condition.
- Shipping: Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs.
