No Reserve! Only 49,000 Miles, No Accident History,alpine System,parking Sensors on 2040-cars
Staten Island, New York, United States
Up for sale is this Pristine 2001 Jaguar XK8 Convertible.
This Jag is had only 49,000 miles and its probably one of the
cleanest ones out there. The exterior of this high-line vehicle is
finished in Metallic Blue and complimented with the camel leather interior. Unfortunately,
this car was involved in a flood and its being sold with a
salvage flood title from Pennsylvania. I am not sure why the
insurance company decided to
brand this car a flood car because I can see no sign of flood damage
anywhere on this vehicle.I dont believe any water touched this vehicle
at all. We had our mechanics check this vehicle from top to bottom and
there is no damage at all from any flood. We believe the vehicle was
branded a flood simply because of liability reasons. This vehicle is
perfect from top to bottom. I have been driving the vehicle daily with my dealer plate and have had no isues with it at all. It is perfectly reliable.
This SC430 is in perfect
mechanical condition and everything works the
way it should, and I mean everything! Just watch my video and you will
see for yourself! Every single light bulb lights up and every switch
functions properly. Even the tire pressure sensors work the way they
should. I have been driving this vehicle on and off and its
a really nice driving vehicle. I put about 1000 miles on it and it runs
100% and gets about 24MPG! It turns heads where ever it goes and people
are always asking me about it. This vehicle cost close to $70,000 when
it was new! All the detailing on the car was done and
its ready for its new owner.
Nothing has to be done to this car! You can jump in this car and drive
it 2,000 miles back home without any problems at all. The car has 49k
on it, which is very low for a Jaguar, especially one this age. This
car was maintained top notch and has always had its maintanence done.
The oil changes are up to date and Mobil 1 was always used in this
vehicle. This vehicle was also always dealer serviced. This vehicle spent most of its life in the
garage, so it was never
subjected to a cold or wet climate. So, you know this car was maintaned
the way it should and no expense was spared. This car just had its oil
and tranny fluid serviced, has fairly new tires, good brakes, good rotors, and wiper blades. The tires are all matching Michellin tires with plenty of tread remaining. This XK8 is loaded up with all the rare
options. It has leather heated seats, upgraded Alpine sound system, rear parking sensors, power tilt steering wheel, remote keyless entry, CD changer in trunk with IPOD or AUX MP3 capabilities, alloy wheels, real burl wood trimming, full power convertible top, memory settings, automatic rain sensing wipers, motorized headlamp washers, fog lamps, and all the power accessories that you would expect from a Jag. The car comes 2 keys and the
remote key fob. We also have the original floor mats, the full size spare tire, and the complete
tool kit in the trunk, along with the trunk mat. The
exterior of the car looks like a brand new car would. There is no
scratches, dents, or any other damage to talk about. Its super super
clean. The paint shines like glass, you can see your face in it. All
the rubber and moldings are in nice shape with no dry rot on them and
no leaks. The interior of the car is immaculate. The seats are
is fantastic condition and show no wear at all. The wood trims and
leather has held up amazingly and it is all intact. The carpets and
other panels are all
in great shape and all the mechanicals and electricals are 100%. Every
single feature in this vehicle is working the way it should. There is
no surprises or dissappointments with this vehicle. Its a 10 out of 10
all the way. Before
this vehicle was "flooded" it had a clean carfax with no accident
history. I dont believe this vehicle was ever in any accidents and all
the painwork seems to be original and perfect. This car is
being sold as-is, where-is, and there is no warranties
expressed or implied. This vehicle has a salvage flood title from Pennsylvania. It is YOUR responsibility to find out the laws and
regulations for titling this vehicle in your state. If you
would like to see the car and test drive it, you are more than welcome
to do so. Also, feel free to ask me about the
buy-it-now price. If you are located outside my
local area, I will assist in any way possible in having the car shipped
to you at your cost. A $500 non-refundable deposit must be made within
24 hours on the auctions end. The remaining balance must be paid in
full by 3 days after the closing of the auction unless other
arrangements are discussed with me in advance. With that being said,
feel free to email, call, or text me at anytime if you have any
questions or concerns. Thanks and good luck bidding!

Jaguar Project 7 Concept
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Jaguar Project 7 Concept debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed just last month. But unlike most concepts, which serve only to collect fingerprints on a stage, the track-ready one-seater spent its days barreling past the hillclimb crowds with Mike Cross, chief engineer of vehicle integrity at Jaguar, beaming behind its right-hand-drive steering wheel. What's more, the powers that be at Jaguar even let yours truly drive the Project 7 during the Concurs d'Elegance festivities at Pebble Beach last week.
Built on an all-aluminum V8 F-Type chassis with modified suspension, the Project 7 (a name acknowledging Jaguar's seven Le Mans wins between 1951-1990) is best thought of as an F-Type masquerading as a D-Type. The two-door is fitted with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 good for 550 horsepower (no pictures as Jaguar wouldn't allow us to open the hood). An eight-speed automatic, with a torque converter, sends the power the rear wheels, allowing the single-seat roadster to crack the 60-mph benchmark in just over four seconds.
Modifications to the bodywork include a new lowered windshield, carbon-fiber aerodynamics and a rear fairing with integrated rollover hoop. The driving position has also been lowered by more than an inch, allowing the sole occupant to not only escape the airflow, but take advantage of a lower center of gravity.
The best cars we drove this year
Tue, Dec 30 2014Six hundred and fifty. That's roughly how many cars pass through the hands of Autoblog editors every year, from the vehicles we test here at home, to the cars we drive on new product launches, testing roundups, long-term cars, and so on. Of course, our individual numbers vary due to several reasons, but at the end of the day, our team's repertoire of automotive experience is indeed vast. But let's be honest, some cars certainly stand out more than others. So as the year's about to turn, and as we're readying brand-new daily cat calendars for our cubicles, our editors are all taking time to reflect on the machinery that made this year so special, with one simple, open-ended question as the guide – a question that we're asked quite frequently, from friends, family, colleagues, and more. "What's the best car you drove this year?" Lamborghini Huracan When I review the list of everything I drove in 2014, picking an absolute favorite becomes almost impossible. I mean, how does one delineate between the joy offered by cars as different as the Alfa Romeo 4C, Volkswagen Golf R, Mercedes-AMG GT S and even the humble-yet-wonderful Chevy Colorado? Okay fine, I'll just pick the Lamborghini. I drove the Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 on a racetrack, in the mountains, and along southern coast of Spain. It felt like the king of the car jungle in all of those places, sucking the eyeballs of observers nearly out of their heads as it drove by, and almost melting my brain with its cocktail of speed and grip and intense communication. It feels a little easy to say that the one new supercar I drove this year was also my favorite, but the fact is that the Huracan is one of the finest cars I've driven during my career, let alone 2014. Judge me if you must. – Seyth Miersma Senior Editor Rolls-Royce Wraith There are a couple of ways to look at the question, "What's the best car you drove this year?" In terms of what was so good I'd go out and buy one tomorrow, that'd be my all-time sweetheart, the Volkswagen GTI. Or if I'm just talking about sheer cool-factor, maybe something like the Galpin GTR1, BMW i8, or Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG. But instead, I'm going to write about the sheer opulence of being the best of the best. The hand-crafted, holier-than-thou, shut-your-mouth-when-I'm-talking-to-you supremacy. I'm picking the Rolls-Royce Wraith. I drove the Wraith for a week in April, and was really, really impressed. This car does everything, perfectly.
Jaguar recalls 7k F-Types for two seperate issues with electrical system
Tue, Dec 9 2014Jaguar is the latest automaker to join in on the recall action from this morning, as the British automaker has announced steps it's taking to remedy two separate problems. The larger of the two recalls deals with an issue related to the seatbelt sensors specifically on the F-Type (we're inquiring with Jaguar if the recall pertains to the coupe, convertible or both models). According to the notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "the seatbelt harness connector which connects the Seatbelt Tension Sensor (STS) to the Occupant Classification Sensor Control Module (OCSCM) may not have been correctly wired," which could result in the front passenger air bag remaining activated even when a shorter individual (child or adult) occupies that seat. As a result, the British automaker is notifying the owners of such F-Types manufactured between August 31, 2012, and October 22, 2014, to bring their cars in to their local dealership to correct the configuration of the harness connector wire. The second Jaguar recall addresses a wider range of models but a much smaller number of actual vehicles. It affects the F-Type as well as the 2015 XF and XJ sedans, but only 272 of them in the United States. In those affected vehicles, the Front End Accessory Drive belt, Power Assisted Steering pump pulley and the battery positive cable at the alternator may detach. Since those issues could increase the risk of fire or the loss of power steering, Jaguar is calling those few affected units in to dealers to have the requisite components checked, and if necessary, repaired. Details of both recalls can be found in the notices below. Report Receipt Date: NOV 07, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V714000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Potential Number of Units Affected: 7,079 Manufacturer: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC SUMMARY: Jaguar Land Rover North America LLC (Jaguar) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 F-TYPE vehicles manufactured August 31, 2012, to October 22, 2014. In the affected vehicles the seatbelt harness connector which connects the Seatbelt Tension Sensor (STS) to the Occupant Classification Sensor Control Module (OCSCM) may not have been correctly wired. The OCSCM senses whether there is an occupant in the front passenger seating position, and the STS senses whether tension on the seatbelt indicates a child restraint is being used in the front passenger seating position.
