Jaguar Xj8 In Good Condition 164,900 Miles No Maintenence Missed on 2040-cars
Hanover, New Hampshire, United States
|
I am the second owner and bought it at ~80k miles. The first owner did all dealer maintenance. I used a good mechanic.We both kept her garaged and performed regular maintenance. I have all my receipts. I have to sell her because I have a baby girl and must get a four wheel car for New England winters. I am uncertain about how much the transmission issue will cost to fix. Could be a fluid change, could be a new transmission. The transmission slips substantively in reverse, first, and second gear. The engine oscillates plus and minus ~50 RPM in certain running conditions. This the perfect car for someone who knows enough to understand the problem, address it, and enjoy a gem. I had this throughout my bachelor days and loved driving her. Even after 4+hour car rides, you get out feeling human and wanting more. She loves highways, but can get up our snowy hill with modest snow. Body is clean. I know of no body damage, ever. Snow studs have ~1k miles. Three summer tires available. Light tan leather interior is clean. Engine sounds great and accelerates with immense power. Suspension is super smooth. HVAC works well, hot and cold. Heated seats in front. Seat adjustments work. Interior smells good. Trunk is clean. Spare rim functions, but has some substantive damage to holes for lugs. All dials, mirrors, indicators, and controls function. Radio and CD. CD changer in trunk. Bluetooth installed with speaker phone. Sound system sounds crisp. I am interested in selling her to someone with a plan to get the most from her. She needs a capable owner, not a bottom feeder or someone who doesn't understand Jaguars. Serious inquiries only please. Most of what I know is in the pictures.

Ecurie Ecosse collection brings in millions
Wed, 04 Dec 2013It's rare to see an entire racing team's collection go up for auction at once, but that's just what happened this past weekend at Bonhams' new headquarters in London, where there Ecurrie Ecosse collection brought in top dollar (or pound, anyway).
The collection, whose consignment we first reported on back in September, included a smattering of Jaguars, other classic racers and an iconic transporter truck, all decked out in the same blue and white livery of the Scottish flag. After reportedly feverish bidding on Sunday, the 1952 Jaguar C-Type sold for £2,900,000 ($4.75m), the '56 short-nose D-Type for another £2,600,000 ($4.26m), and the transporter for a shocking £1,800,000 (nearly $3 million) - all to the same unnamed American collector. A 1952 Jaguar XK120 roadster went to another buyer for a record £707,000 ($1.16m).
With Ringo Star's Facel Vega selling for £337,500 ($550k) and Michael Schumacher's Benetton B194 fetching another £617,500 (just over a million), the auction total skyrocketed to £16,861,630 ($2.75m), which Bonhams described as "a roaring success". Scope out the press release below for more info.
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 appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
