Check out the cheapest 4.2L XKR Convertible on the internet period! I am helping my friend sell his car as he is moving back to New York and will have no need for a vehicle especially a convertible with winter coming! I have had a chance to have the car in my possession for a couple of weeks now and have gone through it and this is a VERY solid car.
My friend Bought the car in March of this year from the original owner in Alpharetta Georgia. The car was purchased with 146,000 miles on it and was serviced for its ENTIRE life at Nalley Automotive - Jaguar. I have over $13,000 worth of receipts dating back from when the car had 29k miles on it till when the car was purchased in march where it had another $700 dollar service done before it was sold. The previous owner used the car almost exclusively for highway driving as he commuted a long distance to and from work every day. Do not let the miles scare you the maintenance records alone show the care and money put into the long term maintenance of this car.
Body
The body is almost flawless which completely amazed me. I could not find a single ding on the entire car and the back bumper (thanks parking sensors!) looks brand new!
The front bumper because of the highway driving does have rock chips on it as well as one small crack that looks to be easily repaired from behind. If someone painted the current bumper or put a new front bumper on it the exterior of the car would really be almost perfect!
Interior
The interior is black leather with wood gran trim surrounding the dash. It has the Alpine sound system with CD changer in the trunk. From what I can tell everything works on the inside including the power retractable top. It has the black leather Recaro seats in it. They have no tears or rips in them and besides being a big dry are in good shape. The back seats are in excellent condition. It does have the factory navigation. When it is turned on it says something a bout the navigation CD. I did not try and look into this but my friend said that when he did use the factory navigation it worked fine.
Drive train
After driving it the transmission seems perfect. No slipping or issues that I am aware of. I have not driven an XKR before this so I am not sure how they are supposed to feel but the transmission seems to shift fine.
I made sure to NOT clean the engine bay for the new owner. This is exactly how the motor was given to me and I feel this is important to show how it is rather then trying to dress it up. All fluids look clean and filled. I recently checked all intake plumbing and vacuum hoses for leaks and besides tightening a few clamps found no issues as well. I also hooked up my OBD 2 scanner to the car to check for engine codes (engine light was off) and there were no stored codes either.
Brakes and tires
The tires are the original equipment Pirelli PZERO tires. Two of them were replaced in March and the other two were in excellent condition. these are very expensive tires and they look to be almost new!
The brakes come with the large red calipers and slotted rotors. I know the owner let me know the brake rotors need to be cleaned often to make sure they stopped properly. The pads and fluid looks good but the brakes seem to not stop as fast as I thought they might. This could be perfectly normal as I am not used to driving a very fast heavy touring car. There is no noise from the brakes and seem to be in good condition.
Only known Issues I have found
The Airbag light is on on the vehicle. It blinks two times when the car is turned on and after some research it seems this is an indication of a one of the airbag sensors either on the back of the seat or the bottom of it. The HAL sensor is known to go bad and this seems to be the issue. I had the capacity to reset the code but I decided against this so the new owner knows of this small issue. Because of the mechanic checking this out the back of the leather seats were un clipped to have access to this. New clips are needed to put the small trim sides back on but since these will probably be taken off again to fix the issue I decided to leave it as is. Besides this issue There are NO other lights on the dash, warning lights or any other issues that I can find. This well maintained car looks to be in very solid condition and you can get a 90k dollar super car for a fraction of the cost!
Terms and Shipping.
I have no problem shipping the car anywhere in the continental USA for the new owner. The new owner will pay for all shipping cost but I am familiar with doing this and will assist where I can. A $500.00 deposit is due within 48 hours of the close of auction. The remaining payment will need to be sent to me either through bank transfer or overnight cashier check. The title will then be mailed with a copy of the owners front an back of his driver license. I have 100% Ebay feedback and will make sure this transaction is VERY easy and quick to ensure everyone is happy! If you are local and want to check the car out please message me to set up an appointment I have no problem showing the vehicle!

Jaguar turns down offers to join V8 Supercars, questions AMG, Volvo participation
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Rumors have swirled in recent weeks that Jaguar may be the next manufacturer to join the V8 Supercars racing series, made popular in Australia but now well-known in other parts of the world as well. Sadly, Jag's participation is not to be. In fact, it would be "insane," according to Jaguar Land Rover Asia Pacific Managing Director David Blackhall, for it to accept either of the two offers it has received to bring Jaguar into V8 Supercars.
Not only is Jaguar not interested in entering V8 Supercars, says Blackhall, it also fails to understand the recent entries from AMG and Volvo. "I don't know what it does for AMG to get flogged by a V8 Commodore week after week, but it's their brand, their issue. And the same thing will happen to Volvo to be honest."
Judging by Blackhall's statements to motoring.com.au, after not-so-serious consideration, the automaker decided the monetary commitment it would take to compete for wins would be more than any potential exposure would be worth, despite the fact that Jaguar has a 5.0-liter V8 to go along with what would seem to be a tailor-made rear-wheel-drive chassis. For what it's worth, one offer would have had Jaguar putting its name across an engine made by someone else, an option that was flatly turned down.
Jaguar F-Type squares off against Porsche 911, Aston V8 Vantage with Chris Harris
Fri, 21 Jun 2013Chris Harris is back on the job, taking on really really difficult car questions like: Which enormously sexy and good-to-drive, high-performance convertible is the top of the heap? As one of the hottest cars in the luxury space right now, the Jaguar F-Type S is, of course, in on the action. Competition comes in the form of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster and the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. Sun-loving CEOs who despise test-driving need look no further.
Scroll on below for a fully featured (with a running time of more than 20 minutes) comparison video. Harris does his best to entertain - in a typically nitpicky and made-up-British-words fashion - and the moving pictures are lovely to look at. Kick back, pour a pint and get your weekend started off right.
NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
