1998 Jaguar Xj8 183k Miles Runs Great! Needs Rear Hub/axle Repair. No Reserve! on 2040-cars
Lawton, Iowa, United States
|
Offered for sale is a 1998 Jaguar
XJ8 with 183,217 miles. The body and undercarriage of the car has some rust, as
can be seen in the pictures. The engine was replaced by Jaguar at about 80k
miles, and the transmission was also replaced at 100k. I have used the car for
the last few years. The car ran and drove fine until last week, when the left
rear hub bearing failed in the hub carrier and the wheel now wobbles
excessively, so it is not currently drivable. There is an issue with the
electrical system, as the engine warning light, traction control, stability
control, and ABS lights are all on. The speedometer does not work, but the
odometer still logs mileage. The rest of the gauges work fine. The windshield
has a crack along the bottom of the glass. The aftermarket radio and speakers
have been removed. The car was painted at some point, and some of the paint is
chipped off of the front and rear bumpers. The Bridgestone Potenza tires were
put on new this summer. Engine oil and filter were just replaced at 183,000
miles. The A/C, heater, heated seats, and sunroof all work.
This car can either be repaired and
driven, or could be used as a parts car. I am selling the car because I do not
have the time to fix, and need a truck instead of a car. Email with any
questions. This is a no reserve auction, highest bidder wins. Good luck and
happy bidding! |

Take a trip down Jaguar's memory lane with Xcar
Sat, 19 Jul 2014For decades, Jaguar has been a company of two minds. On one hand, there are its luxurious, British saloon cars. They might be quick, even sporty, but when it comes down to it, they usually put a focus on comfort and accommodations above all. On the other hand, Jag has its sports cars to really get its buyers' blood pumping. Think about it: the XJ might look pretty sweet, but you know deep down that you would rather take the F-Type for a spirited drive, reveling in its snorty exhaust note. In its latest video, Xcar Films takes us on a very enjoyable history lesson covering some of the Brit brand's most exciting models ever.
Xcar hits all of the highlights, starting with the often-overlooked C-Type from early '50s with its somewhat bulbous shape. Things then progress to the drop-dead gorgeous D-Type. The one in this video is actually the first ever made and therefore worth a fortune. Because of that, the host isn't really able to get too aggressive, but it's fantastic to get an idea of what it's like to experience being behind the wheel of this icon. Finally, it ends with a Series 1 E-Type. This was when the classic model was still something of a sports car; instead of the grand tourer that the E-Type became in its later days.
All three of these cars are legends in their own right, and maybe one day the F-Type could be too. Scroll down for a history lesson on some of Jaguar's best sports cars.
Jaguar C-X75 production run canceled
Tue, 11 Dec 2012"We feel we could make the car work, but looking at the global austerity measures in place now, it seems the wrong time to launch an 800,000-pound to 1 million-pound supercar."
Those words are from Jaguar Global Brand Director Adrian Hallmark, and as true as they may be, it still stings a little bit. After all, we've been looking forward to the Jaguar C-X75 ever since word came from Jolly Olde that it was green-lit for a short production run.
Some of the cool bits and pieces the world will now be without: a powerful but relatively miserly 1.6-liter turbocharged and supercharged four-cylinder engine, two electric motors driving all four wheels and a carbon fiber chassis developed by Williams F1. Sigh.
2014 Jaguar F-Type, Project 7 Concept snarl in Jay Leno's Garage
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Jay Leno gets to drive a lot of nice cars, and the Jaguar F-Type V8 S he pilots in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is no exception. Eric Johnson, vice president of Jaguar Western Region brought the car to Leno's garage, which impresses the comedian with its 5.0-liter V8 that makes 495 horsepower, 460 pound-feet of torque and a muscle car-like roar.
But there's a surprise this episode: Leno secured a drive in the Project 7 Concept at Pebble Beach this year, and the experience was caught on video. Based on the F-Type, the Project 7 is a functional concept car that nods to Jaguar's seven wins at Le Mans and features bespoke styling cues, a special exhaust system and, perhaps most importantly, 50 more horsepower from the supercharged V8.
Watch the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage in the video below. You'll need a little over 23 minutes to see the whole thing.
