TITLE UPDATE - EBAY is making me mark the vehicle as salvage even though it does not have anything but a clean indication on the title and they are basing this on auto check.  I have a CLEAN Louisiana title in my hand and when the car was purchased it had a CLEAN Georgia title before that.  The issue seems to be from 2006 when the car had 6000 miles on it in Florida where the car was briefly owned by an insurance company.  I called the Florida DMV and they have the record of this but they do not know why this was done as all the usual images attached to the file were coincidentally not present.  After talking with them the only issue this would pose would be in the state of Florida.  This car will have a clean title in EVERY OTHER STATE in the USA.  The car was even sold by another dealer after this when it was sold in Georgia.  If you would like to see a copy of the clean title that I have you can call me at 504 452 8824 and I can send a picture over!

This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION!  I took down the buy it now and the reserve so the highest bidder wins!
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.  UPDATE:  After looking at the receipts the car hdds new OEM PADS and Rotors replaced at 135,000 miles at a total of over $900.00.  As i thought they look to be in great shape.

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 Land Rover to badge vehicles based on horsepower

Wed, Sep 27 2017

Add Jaguar and Land Rover to the list of automakers changing their nomenclature due to the realities of engine downsizing. Spy photos of an unreleased Jaguar F-Type model show a badge reading P380 AWD. The letter P evidently refers to Petrol (British for gasoline), and 380 is the engine's horsepower. According to Auto Express, the entry-level F-Type will be badged P300, indicating the power output of its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Land Rover is expected to follow suit with the new badging nomenclature. Diesel models will get a D instead of a P, while electric and hybrid models will get an E badge, along with a number corresponding to total system power. So, expect the I-Pace to sport an E400 badge on its hind end. One question we have, though, is how the disparity between mechanical, metric and imperial horsepower will be dealt with. While such power-specific badges are arguably unnecessary, we expect the trend to proliferate as engines continue to get smaller but turbocharging and electrification keep horsepower climbing. At least JLR's badges are easier to understand than the messy way Audi plans to rename its models or the way BMW completely dismisses actual engine size in its naming convention.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla store reboot, Jaguar "EV-Type" an electric F-Pace?

Thu, Aug 27 2015

The Connecticut Hydrogen and Electric Automobile Purchase Rebate (CHEAPR) program is creating demand for EVs. $1 million has been set aside for rebates ranging from $750 to $3,000 per car, depending on battery size (in addition to federal incentives). Dealers also get an incentive of $150 to $300 per vehicle to help motivate them to promote EVs. "This is the type of program that can be a win-win-win for the state, auto manufacturers, dealers and consumers," says Chevrolet dealer Leo Karl, who has seen a jump in demand for the Volt under the CHEAPR program. Karl expects the funds to run out as early as this fall. Read more at Automotive News. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is scheduled to go on sale in the US in May 2016. As Mitsubishi makes some changes, including plans to ditch its Normal, IL assembly plant, the company's future in the US is being called into question. The new date for the plug-in hybrid version of the Outlander comes after multiple delays. Mitsubishi also plans to offer a 2016 model of the i-MiEV despite slowing sales. Read more at Automotive News. Tesla is overhauling its stores in advance of the Model X going on sale. The revamp includes informative interactive displays and a heavier emphasis on Tesla merchandise sales. The displays provide information about safety, Autopilot technology, the charging network, electric motors and other information to help familiarize customers with Tesla. The Tesla Design Collection - which includes luggage, apparel and other gear - also helps position Tesla as a luxury lifestyle brand, rather than just a mere automaker. Expect the stores to be continually updated over time. "Tesla is able to pivot in their stores the way they release new software," says Cadent Consulting Group's Ken Harris. "This is important to an emerging brand." Learn more from Bloomberg. Could Jaguar be planning an electric F-Pace called the EV-Type to compete with the Tesla Model X? Autocar is reporting that the upcoming SUV from Jaguar could spawn a whole family of vehicles, including an all-electric version. Jaguar has registered the trademark for the EV-Type name, and that vehicle would likely be built at the Magna Steyr factory in Graz, Austria. That would free up capacity to build the traditionally powered F-Pace in the UK. Read more at Green Car Reports, or at Autocar.

2016 Jaguar XJ sedan revealed

Mon, Jun 15 2015

Jaguar has been steadily updating its sedan lineup, launching the entry-level XE and a new version of the mid-range XF – and now it's revealed an refreshed version of its flagship XJ. A facelifted version of the existing model (which was first launched in 2009 and arrived in the US in 2011), the 2016 Jaguar XJ benefits from a few key enhancements to keep it current. The principal visual updates revolve around the exterior lighting, which now includes full LED headlights, new daytime running lights and redesigned LED tail lights. There are new oval exhaust tips as well, but some of the most vital updates have been carried out inside. The refreshed interior includes a new InControl Touch Pro touchscreen infotainment system, with multi-touch control and backed up by a 60-gig solid-state hard drive. A new 17-speaker Meridian sound system comes standard, and the instrument cluster has been redesigned as well. The XJ also benefits from Jaguar's All-Surface Progress Control system and a raft of driver assistance features. Rear-drive models also get a new electric power-assisted steering rack and semi-automated parking system. Between engine options, drivetrain choices, wheelbase lengths, and trim levels, the updated XJ continues to offer an array of configurations – and Jaguar has worked to further differentiate them from one another. The base model carries the 340-horsepower, 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 and can be specified with rear- or all-wheel drive. There are regular and long wheelbase versions, and in R-Sport and Portfolio trim lines (the former now coming standard in the shorter car). Though the entire range is supercharged, the model designated as the XJ Supercharged packs a 470-hp version of the company's celebrated 5.0-liter force-fed V8, while the performance flagship XJR packs the same engine but with 550 hp (once again in either wheelbase) and now comes standard with the Black Pack. The 2016 Jaguar XJ is slated to reach US showrooms this fall. The updates will surely go a long way towards keeping Coventry's flagship sedan in the game for longer until an all-new model is ready. The question is whether these updates will be enough to keep the XJ competitive against the newer BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S-Class, and Maserati Quattroporte. Or for that matter with the Audi A8 that's just as old but was also recently refreshed, or the Lexus LS that's been around for longer with similar updates along the way.
