I have for sale my 1997 Jaguar XK8. This vehicle has been in the family since 1999. I have a folder worth of receipts for this car. This car has a 4.0 V8 Engine, fully loaded with 6 cd changer, leather seats, wood grain dash, steering wheel, etc. If you are familiar with Jaguars then i dont need to explain the features.
Engine and Transmission: Car currently has 79862 miles and runs perfect. There are no knocks, ticks, smoking, pinging or anything that should not be there. Within the last few hundred miles I performed a lot of work on the car. I replaced eight (8) spark plugs, replaced eight (8) coil packs, replaced two (2) ignition modules, changed both valve cover gaskets, replaced intake filter, Amsoil 25w-50 Synthetic Oil Change, radiator flush, replaced the ABS Module, bled the entire brake system. Replaced speed sensors on the front wheels, along with an alignment. The car was always maintained and whatever services needed to be done were done. The jaguars are known to have dirty throttle bodys and this one was cleaned out. Exterior: As you can tell by the pictures, the jaguar is blue in color and in good shape for a 1997. The only flaw to the paint itself is on the top half of the passenger side door, the clear coat is starting to peel. The front bumper has a few spots where the clear is starting to peel (about the size of a quarter each). During Hurricane Sandy, a tree branch stuck the windshield and put a small rip in the convertible roughly 2 inches in length. I patched that up and replaced the windshield. I painted the hood, trim around convertable and passengerside fender due to the clear coat fading. The body has 2 small dings on the passengerside. Other than that the exterior is in good shape. Interior: Driverseat has a tear and some fading, the radio and climate control work but the display does not work. You can purchase replacements for under $200.00 on ebay. The steering wheel is swede is slightly faded and there is a small crack on the wood grain. I bled the convertible system and replaced the high pressure hose. Convertible works perfectly.The interior is clear except for the driver seat rip. The vehicle is a 1997 so some wear and tear is going to be present. Miscellaneous: -Vehicle has a new 1000 amp cold cranking amp battery (8 months old) -Vehicle has a new windshield -Vehicle has new wipers -The engine covers which sit over the spark plugs are secured in place with water proof silicone and some of the original tabs. Some of them broke off when I had the plugs and coils replaced. -The intake tube has a broken tab that connects to the throttle body so I used a nut with a larger washer to secure it down. Its been that was for roughly 10k miles with zero problems. Overall: Vehicle is a blast to drive and is fast! i'm an honest seller and want to disclose any known issues. I spend close to $4000.00 to get the vehicle mechanically sound. The car runs awesome! Since the mechanics and maintenance were done I wanted to focus on the interior but more important things came up in life and I need to put my money else where. Any questions please message me on eBay or call the number provided below. 201-913-5613 Call/Text. |

Jeremy Clarkson's Jag going up for auction
Sun, 18 Aug 2013Fans of Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson might want to make plans to be in the UK next weekend. On August 24, Anglia Car Auctions in King's Lynn is auctioning off Clarkson's black 1999 Jaguar XJR as part of its classic sale. According to the auction house, the Jag was "originally the daily drive" of Clarkson and has had one registered owner since.
Clarkson's former ride clocks in at 93,000 miles and has an estimated price of 2,500 to 4,000 pounds. At roughly $3,300 to $5,300 in US dollars, that could be quite a steal for a hardcore Jeremy Clarkson fan. And with a supercharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and lavish interior, it's a luxury sport sedan lover's dream.
This isn't the first time Clarkson has crossed paths with Anglia Car Auctions. Back in 2009, he and fellow Top Gear stars James May and Richard Hammond made an appearance at another vintage auction to buy vehicles for a future segment of the show.
Jaguar XFR-S is motor-porn on a mountain road
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The 2014 Jaguar XFR-S might have only been good enough to take the runner-up spot in our Editor's Choice top five debuts at the LA Auto Show, but we'd be hard-pressed to find a car with a more exhilarating exhaust note. As proof of this, Jaguar released a video showing the XFR-S tearing up a windy, European mountain road in close to a minute of hardcore driving footage.
The big blue cat has the same great exhaust note of the XKR-S, and the driver puts all of the car's 550 horsepower to work demonstrating the handling - and drifting - abilities of the new XFR-S. If there's any disappointment to be had, it's the fact that you have to jump to the 30-second mark of the video for any of the action to start.
Scroll down to watch the video, and be sure your speakers are turned all the way up.
Watch this bad parker get what's coming to him
Fri, 02 Aug 2013If you're lucky enough to have a nice vehicle, do your fellow gearheads a favor and don't park like a clown. Seriously. Not only will you anger everyone who is trying to find a place to park, but your nice car is a billboard reinforcing the stereotype that car people are self-important and inconsiderate.
Take this gentleman for example. He has a Jaguar XK, and understandably wants to take care of it. Rather than parking it far, far away from any other cars and getting a bit of exercise by walking to his building, he takes up two spots (albeit barely) close to the structure. From the cameraman's narration, we can tell his coworkers are less than thrilled about his inability to stay between the lines.
Naturally, they wanted to teach him a lesson, so they parked a bigger vehicle as close to his driver's door as possible. Mr. XK's attempts to enter his vehicle are rather amusing, culminating in his climbing through the passenger side and scooching over to the driver's seat. While we can debate this sort of treatment all day long, it was effective. The video includes a follow up at the end showing where the XK driver parked the next day, and as you might guess, it wasn't in the same spot.
