If you are looking for a nice sporty well maintained garage kept, and low mileage Jaguar....please consider this classy looking and well running Jaguar.

The condition is not perfect - but overall very good, inside and out. Engine runs smoothly and quietly, shifts like new...This 2.5 V-6 has great power but also amazing MPH - 19 city and 26-28 highway. This model is AWD and has great traction in any weather The color combination for this car is classic - British Racing Green with a light beige interior leather...Climate control works perfectly.....Tires are all VG with 2 being nearly new. Car is all original, paint is still shiny and original with some light scratches but amazing condition for its age. Alloy wheels are excellent.   I have maintained this car well and have always used full synthetic oil. Car handles like a cross between a sports car and luxury sedan. I am selling because I just retired from the U.S. Army and have 2 cars and a truck! This car is a pleasure to drive ....and still turns heads, and many complements!

NOTES:

1. There was a rear wear spot on the drivers seat back from entry/exit. I tried to repair it with a leather repair kit myself....It is not a great color match and as I tried to blend it in, andd made the 'wear spot' look larger than actual size...see picture....I did not get a professional repair estimate for this, as it's appearance did not bother me).

2. The ABS light occasionally comes on.    When I have turned the car off the ABS light has gone back off!   My mechanic checked this and there were no ABS error codes. I did not pursue this issue further.

3. Recently the engine light came on. My mechanic checked it and it is an oxygen sensor for the exhaust. The engine light is off now but I have the part ordered. I should have it installed before sale ....or I will deduct 100.00 from sale price.

4. I have been a long time and honest ebayer and expect to deal with honest, serious folks. I have described this vehicle as best I could. It is basically very sound and worth more than I am asking.....(original MSRP was over 29K) I am not a dealer trying to make $$ and so I am offering this car at a very low price ....with no reserve. Therefore please do not bid unless you are serious, as this car will be sold to the highest bidder. Please contact me if you have less than 5 feedbacks or a very poor feedback score, or your bid will be cancelled. Please feel free to ask any questions! Good luck, IG

Jaguar Land Rover to drop supercharged V8 for turbocharged BMW power

Wed, Jul 27 2016

There are few things that sound as good as Jaguar's 5.0 liter supercharged V8. As great as it is when the supercharger whines or the exhaust cracks and pops on throttle lift-off as the air pressure equalizes, the basic design dates back to the '90s. Plainly, the engine isn't as efficient as it needs to be, but designing a new V8 from the ground up is an expensive proposition. Instead, Automobile reports that Jaguar Land Rover is set to use a twin-turbocharged V8s supplied by BMW. Scalable architecture is all the rage as automakers streamline designs in order to save costs. For example, Jaguar's current supercharged V6 is quite literally a V8 with two holes missing. They didn't even change the length of the block. It seems both of those designs are on their way out, with the V6 being replaced by a inline-six closely related to the company's inline four. It seems that rather than designing an new and expensive V8 for their top of the line models JLR, is sourcing from BMW. From 1994 to 2000, BMW owned Land Rover. A few models, including the Land Rover Range Rover, used BMW engines then and in the initial years of Ford's JLR stewardship. It seems things have now come full circle. BMW currently makes a twin-turbo 4.4 liter V8 that produces anywhere from 440 to 600 horsepower, depending on the application. Automobile says that a new 4.0 liter V8 is in the works and that it will most likely be the engine that JLR uses. Expect it to be more powerful, more fuel efficient, and lighter than what both BMW and JLR currently offer. This seems like a win for both companies. BMW gets to offset the cost of a new motor while JLR, a smaller company, doesn't have to invest in a whole new architecture. As automakers search for ways to cut costs, expect collaborations like this to continue. Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz both share a four-cylinder engine. Ford and GM have worked together to design a shared 10-speed automatic. While we may lament the loss of that wonderful Jaguar Land Rover engine, we can still be happy that they haven't abandoned the V8.

Jaguar sends off XK with limited-run Final 50 edition

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

The Jaguar XK coupe and convertible are pointed at the production sunset, and the cars that will end their retail lives in the US will be the dubbed the XK Final Fifty Limited Edition. As the name implies there will be fifty of them made, 25 of the fixed-roof variety, 25 of the droptop.
As the name doesn't imply, however, they'll be based on the XKR and be injected with liberal doses of XKR-S and XKR-S GT: the 510-horsepower V8 from the XKR will be mated to normally optional items like the Dynamic and Performance Packs, machined front suspension components from the XKR-S and a 10-millimeter lower ride height, the louvered hood from the XKR-S GT and Vortex 20-inch forged wheels. The sheetmetal gets a bath in Ultimate Black paint "with special trim" and badged door sill plates. Convertibles will come black roofs, but the Performance Active Exhaust will keep you apprised of the 5.0-liter V8 bellows no matter which car you choose.
They'll go into production this summer and hit dealerships in the fall. There's a lengthy press release below with more info on how this cat will sing its swan song.
