1988 Jaguar Xjs - He Coupe 5.3l V12 Red on 2040-cars
Utica, Michigan, United States
1988 Jaguar XJS-HE Coupe 5.3L V12 (VIN#SAJNA5841JC141071)
CONDITION: Well running driver with estimated 75,000 miles on chassis (odometer reads 49,000 but there is a discrepancy on Carfax, so it's impossible to know actual mileage). Chassis looks fantastic. Radius arms (which commonly rust to death) look almost new. Solid suspension. No accidents, no rust on body, trunk, or floorboards (another common problem in XJS). Gas tank previously had pinhole leak and has been professionally fixed (yet another common XJS problem). Automatic shifts smoothly into all 3 gears. Original engine had blown head gasket, so a different XJS V12 engine was installed (was told it had approx. 68,000 miles on it). Recent documented maintenance at a Jaguar specialist: spark plugs, new speedometer transmitter cable, fuel pressure regulator replaced, distributor cap and ignition wires replaced, timing adjusted ($1750.00 of work). Refinished wood interior, but some cracking on interior plastics. Carpets look pretty good. Some separation in the seams of the leather seats. Really nice chrome. Pretty good paint, some chips, small dents, but mostly solid. Nice tires. Most likely needs some new fuses for some electrical issues described below. Drips a little oil. Passed emissions in New Jersey in 2014. Great overall car for the price. Working: headlights, brake lights, tail lights, turning signals, windshield wipers, horn, all interior lights, power windows and power locks, fuel gauge, temp gauge, oil gauge, battery guage, rpm gauge Not working: shoulder strap seat belt motor on driver side (stuck in up position, so functionally legal), electric mirrors, A/C, radio and antennae, speedometer gauge (odometer is working), parking brake (light is on), cruise control, electric moon roof HISTORY: I recently bought the car in 2014 with the intention of using it as a base for restoration. It's a great base car and I'm a sucker for Jaguars, but I just don't have the time or space to work on it. My girlfriend reminded me that I wasn't thinking clearly when I parked it in her spot in the driveway, so let my mistake be your gain, as I realize I'm going to lose money. I have over $5000.00 into it. According to Carfax, the car lived in Arizona and California from 1988-2012. It was then in Pennsylvania and New Jersey in 2013. I bought it from a private seller in Michigan who had acquired the car with the blown engine, which he replaced. I took it out for a test drive, ran well, so I bought it and drove it 40 miles home. These cars like to be driven, not stored. Sorry to let it go, but I'm hoping it finds a good home. I own another XJS-HE Coupe (1987 VIN#SAJNV5840HC137303) which I was going to use for parts to help restore this 1988. I will likely try to get the 1987 running again (last ran 4 years ago when I had time to drive it) and sell that as well. Inquiries welcome for a package deal. That was a Texas car, ran great, but needs new paint, rubber, and seats. I replaced the fuel rail hoses and has a new headliner. Similar electric issues as to be expected from a 27 year old car. Feel free to e-mail me for more questions. SHIPPING AND PAYMENT: Sold as-is with no warranty. Buyer must pay shipping and/or transportation costs. Available for local pickup as well. Car is drivable with working lights. |

Jaguar Land Rover reveals EV concepts, details green strategy
Fri, Sep 11 2015While it offers diesel models and even a couple hybrids, Jaguar Land Rover isn't quite as fleshed out on alternative powertrains as its luxurious German rivals. That should change pretty soon. JLR revealed three concepts at the CENEX Low Carbon Vehicle event in Millbrook, England, today. The Concept_e "research demonstrators" all use a new electric drive module, an EV system that the Indian-owned, British-based outfit claims will double the power and torque of today' electric motors. JLR says these modular EDMs can be paired with any of the company's engines or transmissions to create either a mild hybrid, a plug-in hybrid, or a pure EV. So yeah, this is kind of a big deal. Arguably the most exciting offering is a one-of-a-kind research vehicle. Riding on JLR's aluminium aluminum architecture, it ties together two electric motors – an 85-kW unit with a single-speed trans on the front axle and a 145-kW rear motor that's been mated to a two-speed transmission – with a 70-kWh li-ion battery that's mounted in the underbody of the car. There's also the Concept_e MHEV. This is a Range Rover Evoque that's been fitted with a mild hybrid system. Just a refresher, but a mild hybrid is very different than what's found in either a Chevrolet Volt or Toyota Prius, as it uses the electric motor and battery pack to simply assist the internal combustion engine, rather than for an electric driving mode. Reflecting that use, this particular Evoque uses a 15-kilowatt electric motor and a 48-volt, lithium-ion battery pack alongside a 90-metric-horsepower diesel-powered prototype. Finally, we have a Range Rover Sport-based plug-in hybrid. This brute uses a 300-metric-horsepower prototype gas engine and an eight-speed automatic alongside a 150-kilowatt electric motor. Energy is stored in a trunk-mounted, 320-volt, li-ion battery back. Partially funded by the British government, the EDMs are the result of a 16.3-million-pound ($25-million) research-and-development program. They're built in house by JLR, but were developed alongside 12 partners. While these concepts are exciting, don't get your hopes up to see a plug-in Jaguar XF or an all-electric Discovery Sport in your local dealer any time soon. "This is a long-term Jaguar Land Rover research project exploring all aspects of future hybrid and battery electric vehicle technology," JLR research and design boss Dr. Wolfgang Epple said in the attached statement.
Jaguar F-Type US order guide loose online
Fri, 08 Feb 2013
An alleged US order guide for the 2014 Jaguar F-Type has made its way online courtesy of the good people at F-TypeClub.com, documenting everything from wheel color options to special equipment packages. From the looks of things, buyers will be able to choose from a total of eight wheel designs in sizes ranging from 18 inches on the base model all the way up to 20 inches. While most of those rollers are available in either silver or black finishes, the 20-inch blade-style wheels are not only forged, but come with carbon-fiber trim. Fancy.
Depending on trim, F-Type buyers will get to choose between two types of seat, including a set of performance-style 14-way power adjustable thrones, complete with seat belts in black, red or tan. Other fun tricks include available power folding side view mirrors and a 770-watt, 14-speaker Meridian sound system.
Jaguar XF S Sportbrake vs. Volvo V90 R-Design: A sporty wagon comparison
Thu, Apr 26 2018We had both a XF Sportbrake S and a V90 T6 AWD R-Design come through the office recently, and since they're really close competitors – both fairly large wagons, both luxury vehicles, both have sporting pretenses, and both feature all-wheel-drive. And in the case of our test cars, they're equipped very similarly, but at divergent price points. Is the Jaguar worth the premium? Let's take a closer look. The Jaguar is only available in the top-level S trim, which brings many features, as well as all-wheel-drive and a 380-horsepower supercharged 3.0-liter V6. The final price listed for our Jaguar was a heady $84,815, up from a base price of $71,445. That's thanks to a bunch of options: the $360 black trim package, the $565 metallic paint, the $1,020 20-inch wheels, the $3,495 driver assistance package, $3,265 technology package, $1,805 comfort and convenience package, and $2,860 premium interior package. View 22 Photos The Volvo is available in a variety of configurations. In fact, you can have a V90 R-Design for as little as $50,945, but you'll be making do with the front-wheel-drive T5 model that has just a 250-horsepower turbocharged four-cyinder. To match the Jaguar's feature set and to nearly match its performance, you need to go with the T6 with all-wheel-drive. In addition to powering all four wheels, it also adds the 316-horsepower twin-charged four-cylinder. The engine and drivetrain add about $6,000 to the T5's price tag. The rest of our V90's price increase was made up by a lot of options, including a Convenience Package for $1,900 that came with heated washer nozzles, a surround view camera, grocery bag holder, HomeLink, a compass, and automatic parallel parking. Other options included the upholstered instrument panel and sun shade for $1,150, metallic paint for $595, heads-up display for $900, built-in child seat for $500, carbon fiber trim for $800, Bowers and Wilkens sound system for $3,200, heated steering wheel for $300, rear air suspension for $1,200, 20-inch wheels with summer tires for $300, and the destination charge. All told, it cost $68,290, which is close to the base price of the Jaguar, but a whole lot less than the Jag's as-tested price, making the Volvo a great value. Interior and Technology But value isn't the only reason to buy a car, especially a luxury car. You want it to feel luxurious.
