2000 Jaguar S-type 4.0l V8, New Engine. Nicest One Out There on 2040-cars
Seattle, Washington, United States
|
Cherry, pampered, Carnival Red, 1-owner, new engine 9K miles ago. As close to new as a 14-year-old car can be. Garaged at both ends of its commute, this Seattle car has never seen salt and barely seen sun; that's why the paint is still vibrant and shiny. The exterior has a half-dozen micro-flaws (tiny rock dings, one scratch; see close-up pics). The interior is like new save for a dime-size crack in the parking brake boot, a nickel-size scuff on the steering wheel, a quarter-size (tar?) stain in the driver's foot well, and slight scuffing on the driver's seat. This first-year S-Type had an engine with the nikasil cylinder liners. (For the uninitiated, search "Jaguar nikasil"). At 118K, the engine was done. Wife loved the car (it's her driver), so I had the original engine completely rebuilt to the tune of $14K (including labor); see the scanned paperwork. Now it's a year later and she wants a Jaguar XK. Oh well. (By the way, will trade with cash for a 2007-09 Jaguar XK, or 2000-03 Subaru WRX wagon, unless it's silver or gray.) Have all records from day one. All the failure-prone bits have already been replaced. Someone's going to get a beautiful great-driving car at a bargain price. The opening bid is the cost of the new engine. See more photos, including all service records, at plus.google.com/photos/101120692823414891191/albums/6004156821905765457 $500 due at auction's end. Any form of payment is OK, but I'll wait for any check (including cashier's checks) to clear the originating bank before releasing the car. This is the part of the auction text where there's usually a bunch of vaguely threatening language about your bid being a contract, and ask any questions before you bid, and stuff like that. Here's my deal: buying a car online is hard. I've bought and sold several over the years. If you're near Seattle, you're welcome to come drive this car and have it inspected by a mechanic. If you win this auction and for whatever reason do not like this car when you see it in person and drive it, then you can have your deposit back, no hassle, no negative feedback. The fault will be entirely mine for somehow failing to represent the car accurately. If you will be shipping the car, I'm home during the day and can assist your shipper. If you want to fly in and drive home, I can pick you up at the airport; I live about 10 miles from Sea-Tac. Any questions, don't hesitate. Bill |

Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.
Jaguar C-X75 and Aston Martin DB10 spied drifting during Spectre shoot
Fri, Feb 27 2015Based on the cars alone, the 24th James Bond film, Spectre, is set to be one of the biggest and most impressive in the long-lived franchise. While we're stuck waiting until November to see the automotive extravaganza on the big screen, a lucky bystander managed to catch two of the movie's four-wheeled stars filming on the streets of Rome. Italian YouTuber Marchettino, well known for his videos from Ferrari's Fiorano test track, caught the video of the Aston Martin DB10 and Jaguar C-X75 filming in the dark of the Roman night, with the Aston sliding its way around a turn and the Jag giving chase. Not surprisingly, the DB10's Vantage-derived V8 features prominently. This is, of course, not the first time news regarding this chase scene has graced our digital pages. Spectre star Daniel Craig sustained a minor injury in the course of this filming, after the DB10 he was riding in hit a pretty significant pothole. We've also caught 007's Aston filming in the UK.

Jaguar names its 3 Series-fighter XE, packs it with Ingenium engines
Tue, 04 Mar 2014Jaguar is committed to emerging from the fringes of the luxury car market and into the mainstream. Just take a look at where it was a couple of decades ago and where it is now: In the 1980s, it had essentially two product lines, the XJ sedan and XJ-S coupe/convertible), and now it's got the XK coupe and convertible, the XJ sedan, the XF sedan and wagon and the F-Type coupe and roadster. But it's not about to stop there.
Coventry knows that if it's going to take on the German and Japanese heavyweights, it's going to need a compact sports sedan, and it's not about to repeat the mistake that was the X-Type. To that end, it's long been rumored to be developing a rival to the likes of the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class - it just hasn't given us much to go on. But that changes right here and now.
At the Geneva Motor Show, Jaguar has confirmed the imminent arrival of its new sports sedan, and along with the teaser image above, has given us some juicy details. For one, it'll be called the XE - fitting nicely alongside its big brothers the XF and XJ in Jaguar's growing sedan lineup. For another, it'll hit markets overseas in 2015 and arrive here in the United States in 2016.
