At the time of purchase, this was a one owner car from a dealership in Florida and it's been registered in Saskatchewan for over 5 years now.
This Jaguar is in exceptional condition for its year, inside and out both
in appearance and mechanical. The engine, transmission and rear-end perform
perfectly and they have never required any repairs in the 5 1/2 years I’ve owned
it and there is no service records indicating any such repairs were done by the
previous owner. My wife drove it to Dallas TX (changing the oil prior to
returning ) and the engine oil didn’t require topping up. That is a one way trip
of 2,225 km. In fact I’ve never had to top up between oil changes ever.
Where possible, I’ve maintained the car myself (with assistance of Jaguar
savvy folks at www.jag-lovers.org ) and
have driven it for 60,000 memorable kms. Regular oil and filter changes and
general maintenance was very strictly adhered to. I really hate to part with
it, but I’ve lost winter storage for it (only drive it in summer) and I have a
1972 Jaguar XJ6 project car to work on so something has to go. It’s my hope
that it will find a good home!
Small items of concern are: very small chip in
passenger side tail light, typical wear on leather of driver seat from
getting in and out. The safety
neutral switch requires adjustment (working on it) so it only starts when placed
in neutral.
Items I can remember doing:
> front shocks in 2008
> front suspension bushings replaced 2008
> all four wheels aligned 2008 --- this was really important because
the tires were worn unevenly and needed to be replaced.
> four new tires in 2008
> all four wheels refinished to remove minor curb rash, etc.
2010
> all four oxygen sensors on exhaust system replaced new in
2010
> complete paint job 2011 > true dual exhaust from cat back 2011
> new front bumper (including lower air foil and grill) 2013
> new windshield September 6, 2013 |

2019 Jaguar I-Pace Drivers' Notes Review | Cool cat
Mon, Mar 11 2019The 2019 Jaguar I-Pace is one of the latest and most important models to hit the market in the past year. Finally, we're starting to see automakers roll out models that can compete directly with products from Tesla. The I-Pace has a striking design both inside and out and packs all of the charm you expect from a Jaguar product. So far, we've been impressed by the I-Pace, and we're not the only ones. Check out our discussion on the Autoblog podcast. The I-Pace has an EPA-rated 234 miles of range, and power from the battery is sent to all four wheels thanks to a pair of electric motors. This Caesium Blue model is in top-level HSE trim. Its $81,495 base price includes features like a panoramic sunroof, LED lighting, heated and ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control, a Meridian audio system and air suspension. Our tester is fitted with a number of options, the most expensive of which are the $2,400 performance seats. Other options include a $570 heads-up display, $800 four-zone climate control, $250 for adjustable ambient lighting and $100 for fog lights. All in, this Jaguar will set you back $89,638 before any incentives or tax credits. Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore: I'm really impressed with the I-Pace. It represents a new vision for Jaguar's electric strategy, and it's executed well in nearly all areas. The powertrain, pushing out 394 hp and 512 lb-ft of torque, is spectacular, pulling me back in my seat as I darted through lights and passed plodding traffic. Dynamic mode quickens the pulse a bit more. I didn't notice a dramatic change in driving character, other than a slight tweak to the steering, which is light, precise and direct. It's a good feel. The design is striking. It looks better in real life than in pictures. Analyzing Autoblog's galleries of the I-Pace and its preceding concept gave me pause. This thing is awkward, I mused. But in my driveway, on the street — it's cool. It's slightly lifted yet also chopped, creating a wedge-shaped dynamo of a four-door. Only downside: very little rear visibility. Inside, this one has a gorgeous "oyster" suede headliner, aluminum trim and handsome brown leather. The infotainment works pretty well; Jaguar is getting better at these. I wouldn't mind a few more analog buttons, but this is easier to pick up than it appears. It's sharp and futuristic. The I-Pace wasn't all great.
Say goodbye to Jaguar's vestigial oval grille
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Jaguar has been on a campaign to replace any and all retro cues with modern ones. Just look at the current XJ and the one it replaced, or the XF and the S-Type that came before it and you'll know what we mean. The one remnant is the XK and its oval grille, in and of itself a throwback to Jags of old (which started to look more like a certain Star Wars alien in above-pictured XKR-S form). But don't expect it to hang around.
Newer Jaguars have been ditching the oval aperture for a more squared-off one, and the next XK will have to fall in line. But don't expect that to be the only change in store for the next-generation Jaguar coupe and convertible.
With the new F-Type now holding the more enthusiast-oriented ground, the next XK is expected to grow bigger, softer and more luxurious. That will likely mean a more commodious back seat as well, though that shouldn't be hard to do considering the lack of space in the back of the current model...
