 Supercharged Jaguar! Rare and Ready!

This XJ Super 8 Vanden Plas is dressed in Westminster Blue and Ivory Leather and is very clean!

The exterior has a great shine, and does have one small dent, a few door dings, and a puncture in the rear bumper. The interior is very clean with less than average wear. The factory 17" alloy wheels are nearly perfect and the fully matched set of tires have excellent tread.

The 4.0 Supercharged 32 Valve V8 pushes 370 hp and purrs just like a Cat! The Automatic transmission shifts strong and sure. The "Super" in this car not only includes the drivetrain, but also how enjoyable this car is to drive! Everything mechanical is as good as it gets, with only one exception and that is a worn strut mount that is a little noisy over bumps.

Being a Jag, it is loaded with amenities such as power windows, power locks, power two-way moon roof, heated front & rear leather seats, front & rear fog lamps, anti-lock brakes, front & side airbags, remote entry, owner's manual and more! Everything works on this Cool Cat!

According to Wikipedia, there were only 788 total Supercharged Vanden Plas XJ8's made between 1997 - 2003, and this is the last year of this production model. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_XJ_(X308)

If this were not enough to get your heart pumping, this XJ has a clean CarFax (no accidents) and the same owner since 35,310 miles. Need more motivation? Bluebook value of this car is $12,500!!!!! See http://www.kbb.com/jaguar/xj-series/2003-jaguar-xj-series/xj-super-sedan-4d/?vehicleid=2593&intent=buy-used&mileage=140000

This is a RARE opportunity to own a classic Supercharged Jaguar!

This Jaguar is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells. I am also open to Buy It Now offers.

I do accept trades and trade-ins. I am particularly fond of Volkswagen, Audi, and almost anything vintage. Let me know what you have.

PLEASE NOTE: Provided that low reserve is met, may I be the first to congratulate you on an excellent purchase! Of course the next step is to pay (see payment instructions). In addition, as a licensed Michigan car dealer, it is mandated that I collect sales tax, license fee and title fee, and I do charge a $95 documentation fee to cover the time to process all of the paperwork. All of these fees are the buyers responsibility. Transporting this car is also the buyers responsibility, but I will help in any way I can, including coordinating shipping via my wholesale network or picking up the buyer at Grand Rapids Michigan airport so you can drive this beauty home (it is ready for a road trip anywhere!). That said, this car is sold as is where is with no warranties expressed or implied.

IN CLOSING: While I have not utilized eBay much for my dealership, I have been an eBay member since 1999 with 100% positive feedback (see kevhead31). I have accurately and honestly described this vehicle as I do with all of my items, which is why I have never received even one negative feedback in 15 years.

Jaguar I-Pace vs. Tesla Model 3 and other EVs: How they compare on paper

Thu, Mar 1 2018

The 200-mile club of electric vehicles is really growing. The most recent member is the Jaguar I-Pace, the company's first pure EV. It promises luxury, performance, style, and most important, good range. Nearly as recent is the Hyundai Kona EV, and while it doesn't promise luxury or performance like the Jaguar (it's also smaller), it does pack impressive range. With the introduction of both of these electric cars, we thought we would see how they compare against each other, and the other two big names in high-capacity electric cars: the Chevy Bolt EV and the Tesla Model 3. This isn't intended to be a direct, apples-to-apples comparison, as the four are quite different. If anything, they break into two groups: bigger and more luxurious, and smaller and less expensive. Then again, the number of vehicles with this electric range is small and comparisons to EV's with less range wouldn't be too kind to the other guys. If you want to learn more about these EVs, and compare them with other cars, be sure to check out our Car Finder and comparison tools. Horsepower and torque There is one clear winner here, and that's the Jaguar I-Pace. It packs a whopping 394 horsepower and 512 pound-feet of torque. That comes through a pair of electric motors (one at the front, another at the rear) that provide the Jag with all-wheel drive, the only one of these vehicles to offer it (at the moment). Altogether, it allows the I-Pace to have the best 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds. At the other end of the spectrum is the Hyundai Kona EV. It's front-drive, like the Bolt EV, and has effectively the same amount of horsepower as the Chevy at 201 horsepower, but its 0-60-mph time is almost a second slower. And the low-range version of the Kona, excluded because it doesn't go more than 200 miles between charges, is slower still. The Tesla Model 3 is the only vehicle with rear-wheel drive, and with a 0-60 mph of 5.1 seconds for the Long Range model, it is still very quick. Range and energy use Frequently, the all-consuming question with electric cars is, "How far can I go on a charge?" And to go the farthest, you need the long-range Tesla Model 3. It can go 310 miles. It has the added advantage of being able to use the network of Tesla Supercharger stations, though they are pay-per-use with the Model 3. Even the lower capacity Model 3, with just 220 miles of range, can use these stations.

Regulators consider adding more carmakers to Takata recall

Tue, Sep 29 2015

Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has been getting a lot of press recently, but the Takata airbag inflator affair could be grabbing headlines again soon. According to Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is contemplating an expansion to the campaign that could add seven automakers to the 12 already affected. They are Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Spartan Motors, Suzuki, Tesla, Volvo Trucks, and VW Group. To be clear, there's no recall for any of these automakers, yet. The government is simply asking for a full list of vehicles that each of them have with Takata-supplied inflators containing ammonium nitrate propellant. The agency is concerned this substance could play a roll in the ruptures. "NHTSA is considering not only whether to issue an administrative order that would coordinate the remedy programs associated with the current Takata recalls, but also whether such an order should include expansion of the current recalls," the letters say. All seven can be viewed, here. From a report supplied by Takata, the government already knows that the company supplied 887,055 inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant to VW and 184,926 of them to Tesla. In an incident during the summer, a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 VW Tiguan. In early September, NHTSA put out a revised report that there were 23.4 million inflators to be replaced in 19.2 million vehicles in the US. An earlier accounting from the agency had about 34 million of the parts in 30 million cars. High humidity is still believed to be among the biggest risk factors for the ruptures. Although, if ammonium nitrate also gets the blame, some already recalled models might need to be repaired again. Related Video:

Jaguar Land Rover backs Arc startup that sells $100,000 electric motorcycles

Wed, Nov 7 2018

Before it even put its first motorcycle on the road, new startup Arc reeled in a major player to back its ambitious product plan. In conjunction with the reveal of the fully electric Vector superbike at the Esposizione Internazionale Ciclo Motociclo e Accessori ( EICMA) show in Milan, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) announced it is placing capital in Arc, using JLR's investment company InMotion Ventures. Arc claims the Vector is the first all-electric motorcycle with integrated Human Machine Interface (HMI) to come to market. Arc, not to be confused with Keanu Reeve's Arch motorcycle company, has a pretty typical mission statement: "To use progressive design and technology to transform people's relationship with an automative experience. For us, for you, for our planet." At the core, Arc wants to make connected, clean, exclusive superbikes, and the Vector is its first try. Although Arc didn't get into the nitty gritty details about the make-up of the bike, it did give some surface specs and information. The bike's structure is built using a carbon composite to create a "unique Arc battery monocoque." Weight is also kept low using carbon fiber swing arms. There is no mention of the size or type of electric powertrain, but Arc claims it will have a highway range of about 120 miles or a city range of 170 miles on a single charge. Arc says it will be able to sprint from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds and has a top speed of 124 mph. Stopping power comes from a Brembo brake system, while ride and handling relies on Ohlins dampers. The launch does not stop at the motorcycle, but includes gear, as well. The Vector links up with a jacket and a helmet for a fully connected experience. Partnering with U.K.-based impact protection design company Knox, Arc created the Arc Pilot System. Using audio, the armored Origin riding jacket provides haptic feedback based on numerous riding inputs to help keep the driver safe and aware. Furthermore, Arc linked up with luxury helmet maker Hedon to build the WiFi-connected Zenith helmet that houses an integrated projection heads-up display. In addition to showing things such as speed or battery life of the bike, the helmet uses a built-in rear camera to display other vehicles in the rider's blind spots. The rider can command the system using controls on the bike or via voice commands.
