1998 Jaguar Xj8 183k Miles Runs Great! Needs Rear Hub/axle Repair. No Reserve! on 2040-cars
Lawton, Iowa, United States
|
Offered for sale is a 1998 Jaguar
XJ8 with 183,217 miles. The body and undercarriage of the car has some rust, as
can be seen in the pictures. The engine was replaced by Jaguar at about 80k
miles, and the transmission was also replaced at 100k. I have used the car for
the last few years. The car ran and drove fine until last week, when the left
rear hub bearing failed in the hub carrier and the wheel now wobbles
excessively, so it is not currently drivable. There is an issue with the
electrical system, as the engine warning light, traction control, stability
control, and ABS lights are all on. The speedometer does not work, but the
odometer still logs mileage. The rest of the gauges work fine. The windshield
has a crack along the bottom of the glass. The aftermarket radio and speakers
have been removed. The car was painted at some point, and some of the paint is
chipped off of the front and rear bumpers. The Bridgestone Potenza tires were
put on new this summer. Engine oil and filter were just replaced at 183,000
miles. The A/C, heater, heated seats, and sunroof all work.
This car can either be repaired and
driven, or could be used as a parts car. I am selling the car because I do not
have the time to fix, and need a truck instead of a car. Email with any
questions. This is a no reserve auction, highest bidder wins. Good luck and
happy bidding! |

Latest Jaguar XJ snaps show old versus new
Wed, 19 Mar 2014It is a rare day when automakers line up their current models and test cars right next to each other and allow us to compare them directly. However, Jaguar ending up doing just that during cold weather testing of the face lifted XJ, providing the perfect chance to see just what the company is changing.
We spotted the refreshed XJ testing last year, and it hasn't evolved much since then. The updated model sports clear turn signals and a slightly revised front air dam. The modifications are similarly minor at the rear. The bumper appears to dip down slightly further on the new sedan. Thankfully, those gorgeous taillights are still draped over the back of the car. The exhaust outlets have switched to oval shapes rather than the current parallelograms. This alteration could just be chalked up to it being a test car, but the previous tester we saw had a similar design. It's possible that the camouflage could be hiding other revisions, but don't expect anything radical from the facelift.
Our previous report indicated that Jaguar is also planning some interior upgrades with new infotainment and ambient lighting. The company seems to feel that there isn't a point in messing with the XJ's design just yet, since all of the changes we see here are very subtle. No problems, here - to our eyes, the big Jag is still one of the prettier sedans on the road today.
This classic Jaguar XJ has a 720-hp ungentlemanly secret
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Forget Tawny Kitaen. If you want to make a Jaguar XJ rock, just do what this guy did: stuff a heavily modified and turbocharged General Motors V8 under the hood, and take it to the track.
The video calls this Series 1 XJ a sleeper, but with its open exhaust and obvious turbo whistle, the once-gentlemanly sedan is anything but. The owner says that the engine is GM LQ9 V8 that has been stroked to 402 cubic inches putting out around 720 horsepower with 12 pounds of boost (in standard form, this 6.0-liter V8 was used in the second-gen Cadillac Escalade). Check out the video below to see what that kind of power does for this classic Jaguar in the eighth-mile.
Stolen Jaguar E-Type reunited with owner after 46 years
Mon, 22 Sep 2014Barely six months into owning it, Ivan Schneider had his Jaguar E-Type stolen from outside of his Manhattan apartment in 1968. Now, 46 years later, the somewhat beat-up convertible has been recovered just before it was about to be shipped to a new owner in The Netherlands.
US Customs agents at the Port of Los Angeles found the car during a routine check, and they contacted Schneider to arrange returning it to him. When the feds found it, the E-Type was already in a shipping container ready to go to its new owner. The condition is hardly perfect today, including rough paint and a replacement door, but Schneider is ecstatic to get his classic back.
Understandably, the now 82-year-old never thought he would see his droptop Jaguar again. Schneider told the LA Times that he bought the E-Type for $5,000 after winning a case as a lawyer, and it was originally painted gray. Now, he plans to have to have the vintage convertible restored to its former glory in New York.
