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! |

2014 Jaguar XJL AWD 3.0
Wed, 25 Jun 2014A bit of British nobility floods the senses when piloting the 2014 Jaguar XJ. It's an emotional rush, a perception based on physical surroundings that influence the mind in much the same manner that a stein of pilsner tastes best when consumed in a German beer garden and no sand is softer than that found on a warm Caribbean beach. Jaguar has been assembling cars for nearly 100 years, and few automakers are as equally adept at capturing aristocracy and timelessness within the rich cabins of their luxury offerings.
Jaguar would have no concern if it were the only game in town, but that's far from the truth. The premium full-size luxury segment, which includes vehicles hovering just under or at the six-figure mark, is a contentious grouping that includes the Audi A8, BMW 7 Series, Lexus LS, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Porsche Panamera. Each of those brings its own game to the battle, and none are easy to dismiss.
To better understand the British perspective and evaluate its latest offering on a land without royalty, I recently spent a week with a long-wheelbase, all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ in Southern California.
Jaguar XJ220 hooned remotely by a kid
Sat, 31 Aug 2013The Tax the Rich crew has a knack for indulging in automotive fantasies and capturing it all on video, such as a tug-of-war battle between two Ferrari F50s, drifting a Ferrari Enzo on gravel roads and even powersliding a Rolls-Royce Phantom on a field of wet grass. This latest video features a Jaguar XJ220 and a kid with an iPad, who somehow is able to control the old supercar with the Apple product.
No, there's no app for that (yet), and we lied - the boy isn't actually controlling the car - but it sure is nice to see the XJ220 in all its turbocharged, six-cylinder glory doing donuts and sliding across a grassy field. It jolts us to see the old Jaguar - capable of 217 miles per hour and once described by Jeremy Clarkson as having no brakes and massive turbo lag - thrown about like a rally car, but then we never imagined anybody would abuse a Rolls-Royce like that either. We'll continue to leave the high-stakes antics to Tax the Rich - we're just glad somebody had the guts to behave so badly in such a valuable machine. What else were they made for?
Be sure to check out the video below, if you have a pulse.
Jaguar XE spied flying over London
Mon, 08 Sep 2014We only have a few hours to wait before Jaguar finally, and fully, unveils its oft-teased XE sedan. But the Internet is no respecter of secrets, as these very last-minute spy shots make clear.
Presumably being airlifted to its spectacular debut location near Earl's Court in London, the BMW 3-Series-fighting XE was captured mid-flight, and completely undisguised.
The images are understandably a bit blurry, but they do confirm that DNA from the current Jag lineup is transitioning nicely to the new small luxury sedan. The XE shows a stance typical of the brand, with a relatively short rear overhang, and big, boldly styled wheels. The bluff front end is reminiscent of if the XF and XJ, and, as we know from earlier teasers, will wear a "growler" logo over a black grille.
