Made in the UK 1998 Jaguar XJ8 with 90,341 original miles. Vehicle has been running fine up until last week, that's when the transmission started slipping, that's when the transmission fault code and engine light came on. Overall, very good physical condition for it's age (just a few minors dings, but no rust present). I took it to a local auto repair shop and was hoping the transmission fluid could be changed, however, when the auto repair shop put it on their machine, 3 gear fault codes were identified (I do not know which ones). The auto repair shop said more than likely it needs another transmission, but I have not had anyone else check out the vehicle since so I can't confirm exactly what needs to be done. I was able to drive the car home with the transmission fault present, but parked the car and haven't driven it since.
I've owned the vehicle since 43,020 miles, and this is the first time I've had transmission issues. Comes with OEM upgraded Jaguar rims and Pirelli PZero tires which 3 are in good condition (left front tire is wearing on the inside, so will eventually need to be replaced). Rims are tires cost $3,600.00 alone. Heat, air conditioning, radio, CD player, and garage door opener works. Full spare tire and two sets of remote keys included. New water pump, coolant hoses, belt, and newer style aluminum thermostat housing installed 3 - 4 years ago.
Car is sold as is; no warranties are guarantees implied and not interested in selling parts off the car. You are buying the entire car with engine, rims, tires, etc.
Here are the known issues I can think of at the moment (I will update accordingly as I remember anything additional):
1. Antenna is broken, so it needs to be replaced.
2. Memory setting does not save position settings for driver's seat.
3. Rear view mirror is loose (Not sure how to fix this).
4. Headliner upholstery above rear seats is sagging.
Additional pics available upon request.
Pickup: The car must be picked up locally. Under no circumstances will I be able to make any type of arrangements other than local pickup. Since the car is experiencing transmission issues, I strongly suggest it be towed as opposed to driven.
Payment: Payment is due within 72 hours of the auction ends.

Jaguar recalling XK Convertible and XF 2.0T sedan for unrelated issues
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that it will be recalling 1,989 XK Convertibles produced between October 1, 2010 and August 1, 2013. Model years ranging from 2011 to 2014 are part of the recall.
The issue has to do with one of the switches the switch that controls the opening and closing of the convertible top. The switch also has to do with the operation of the power windows. According to the Feds, the switch doesn't move down to close the power windows, meaning that the window could accidentally close on the finger or arm of an inattentive person.
In related news, Jaguar is also recalling 940 2013 XF sedans powered by the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine for a hose that can detach underhood, which could cause the engine to stall or could leave the driver without power steering or brakes.
Jaguar sends off XK with limited-run Final 50 edition
Fri, 18 Apr 2014The Jaguar XK coupe and convertible are pointed at the production sunset, and the cars that will end their retail lives in the US will be the dubbed the XK Final Fifty Limited Edition. As the name implies there will be fifty of them made, 25 of the fixed-roof variety, 25 of the droptop.
As the name doesn't imply, however, they'll be based on the XKR and be injected with liberal doses of XKR-S and XKR-S GT: the 510-horsepower V8 from the XKR will be mated to normally optional items like the Dynamic and Performance Packs, machined front suspension components from the XKR-S and a 10-millimeter lower ride height, the louvered hood from the XKR-S GT and Vortex 20-inch forged wheels. The sheetmetal gets a bath in Ultimate Black paint "with special trim" and badged door sill plates. Convertibles will come black roofs, but the Performance Active Exhaust will keep you apprised of the 5.0-liter V8 bellows no matter which car you choose.
They'll go into production this summer and hit dealerships in the fall. There's a lengthy press release below with more info on how this cat will sing its swan song.
Jaguar F-Type pitted against Porsche 911 Cabriolet by Tiff Needell
Wed, 24 Apr 2013You knew it wouldn't take long and it looks like EVO is first onto YouTube with a battle between the 2014 Jaguar F-Type and the 2013 Porsche 911. Tiff Needell spends a few laps warming up the tires (read: drifting like mad) in each droptop before getting in a timed run to see who's champion and who's second best.
Before the bell rings, its the Porsche that's got everything to lose, the 50-year-old era-defining sportscar getting on with a 3.4-liter flat-six, 350 horsepower, a seven-speed manual and a 3,197-pound curb weight. Other sportscars, like the F-Type, continue to eye the 911 like a flag atop Everest that they plan to first touch, and then rip from its socket. The mid-trim Jaguar rolls into the contest with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 380 hp, an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and a curb weight of 3,521 pounds.
The video below shows you what happens when you let all those numbers fight it out on the same stretch of curvy track. Check it out.
