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. |

Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?
Wed, 16 Oct 2013The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."
Watch the trailer for Jaguar's short film staring the F-Type and Damian Lewis
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Jaguar continues to think well outside of the box when it comes to marketing it's new F-Type, now furthering plans for a short film which highlights the sexy roadster. Desire, featuring Damian Lewis (star of the hit series Homeland), Jordi Mollà (unforgettable in Bad Boys II) and Shannyn Sossamon (that girl you had a crush on for like a month in 2002 after you rented A Knight's Tale), Jaguar is clearly pulling out all the stops for this one. Well, nearly all the stops anyway - the "Ridley Scott Associates" billing isn't quite the same has having the man himself, if we're splitting hairs.
The short video below is still just a trailer for Desire - the full film will make its debut sometime in April, we're told. The sketched out plotlines tell us that Lewis' character Clark, "...delivers cars for a living, running into trouble after a chance encounter with a mysterious, young woman (Sossamon) in the middle of a lawless desert." The car looks good, at any rate.
Call us crazy, but the Desire trailer feels an awful lot like a spoof on the cool-but-overly-serious short films that BMW has done in this vein, already. Maybe we're just being cynical? Tell us what you think in comments after watching the clip.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
