This Jaguar is my father's long distance commute daily driver. It has seen quite a few miles, 226051, mostly on highways. He purchased it from a dealer, as a lease return, with 35000 miles on it.
All the while it has provided the 3 qualities Jaguar is known for, "Grace, Pace, and Space."
It has a classic look, it is instantly identifieable as a Jaguar, a big greenhouse with delicate pillars and long hood and rear deck.
The interior is all leather, burled wood, and wool carpets, it is a nice place to be, front or back.
The V8 under the hood combined with the aluminum construction make it fast. On the highway it cruises beautifully, the quiet ride combined with the plentiful power means you will often find yourself travelling faster than you realized, that is why the k40 radar detector was installed. The truth is that it has been a saving grace many times, the new owner will be pleased to have it. I was plesantly surprised that the XJ8 handles twisty roads well, but of course it does, it's a Jaguar and that's part of their DNA.
The original transmission died and was replaced with a rebuilt XJ8 unit at around 180000 miles. The "new" unit works perfectly and the drivetrain is smooth and powerful.
The car has some issues so it was decided that it is time to let it go.
The passenger side was damaged pulling into a garage. Both doors will need to be straightened and most likely the whole side will need to be repainted. The rear molding was ripped off and will need to be replaced. On the upside, since the doors are aluminum there is no rust concern.
The fuel guage has been acting up recently, showing empty when it is not, suddenly going to E, etc. It was diagnosed as a bad sender or sensor in the fuel tank.
The interior is in very good condition. The seats are in very good shape, even the drivers seat is not really showing any wear. There are only a few problems with the interior, it was a pipe smokers car. The headliner is sagging a bit across the back parcel shelf. The leather on the rim of steering wheel is a bit worn
It has recently been parked due to a bad front suspension. A leak was suspected and within days the front end sank to its current position. As seen in the pics the front air shocks don't hold air. During it's final drive it had to be stopped and started freqently to allow the front to pump itself up, that way it could be driven some distance, before it sank too low to be driven, the warning lights came on, and it had to be restarted.
The winning bidder will need to pick up the car in Franklin Lakes, NJ.
It will most likely need to be towed.

Jaguar Land Rover opening its first U.S.-based classic center in Georgia
Sun, Aug 19 2018Jaguar Land Rover Classic currently operates two of its Works Centres, one in Coventry, England and the other in Essen-Kettwig, Germany (pictured). Just in time for Pebble Beach, the English carmaker has announced that it will bring its first facility to the United States next year, having signed a deal to open the latest Works operation in Savannah, Georgia. To be located in the Crossroads Business Park near Gulfstream Aerospace, the facility will engage in the sales, service, and restoration of Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles out of production for at least ten years. The 150,000-square-foot Coventry site opened two years ago and is said to be the largest dedicated factory workshop of its kind (the largest unaffiliated shop is in the Philippines). Jaguar builds its continuation cars there, like the D-Type and XKSS, while Land Rover uses it to build the Defender Works V8. Shoppers can also buy vintage models off the showroom floor, a variation of the Certified Pre-Owned program called Works Legends, that come with a 12-month warranty. Or, Jaguar Land Rover will locate, restore, and maintain one of the classic company products that a buyer chooses. In the UK, a Land Rover Series 1 starts at around $90,000, a Jaguar E-Type starts at around $400,000. The 48,000 Essen-Kettwig center opened last year with the same brief, and the U.S. center can provide those services to the world's largest classic car market. Construction on the 75,000-square-foot complex is scheduled to begin next August, and the facility will include a 42-bay workshop and showroom. The automaker will invest from $10 to $15 million, and predicts more than $45 million in revenue. Savannah Economic Development Authority President and CEO Trip Tollison told The Savannah Morning News that JLR will hire 75 workers at a starting salary of $80,000.

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats
Sat, 16 Aug 2014If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.
2014 Jaguar XFR-S super sedan is 550-HP worth of cool
Wed, 28 Nov 2012The 2014 Jaguar XFR-S was considered last year, teased last week and now has been totally let loose. The most powerful sedan the company has ever made and the newest addition to its line of R-S performance cars - following the XKR-S - and we'll be getting even fewer of them than we thought. 200 had been the rumored allotment for the US, but the official word now is that we'll see just 100.
Each XFR-S will use the same 5.0-liter supercharged V8 that powers the XKR-S, meaning a 40-horsepower and 41-pound-foot bump over the XFR for 550 hp and 502 lb-ft in total. Shifting through the adaptive, eight-speed ZF transmission gets it from standstill to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, but for all that, it gets the same gas mileage as the XFR, aided by its stop/start system, and so doesn't get hit with a gas guzzler tax.
Other XKR-S bits have made the jump, including an upgraded suspension front and rear, the near-straight pipes for the cracking exhaust note we drank up like ambrosia and twenty-inch, six-spoke lightweight wheels that are an inch wider than on the XFR. Lateral stiffness is up 30 percent, the electronic systems have been recalibrated to handle the extra oomph, throttle response has been sharpened and can be made even sharper by going into Dynamic Mode.
