Beautiful, Rust Free Florida Car With Reliable Straight 6 Engine - Runs Great! on 2040-cars
Mazomanie, Wisconsin, United States
|
For sale is a 1993 Jaguar XJS luxury touring car in authentic original condition. Paul Dean of the LA Times describes it as "prowling, low-heeled and thoroughly seductive." This car spent most of its life in a Florida car buff's collection before coming to Wisconsin, where it was stored rarely driven. This is an absolutely solid car with no sign of rust and the most minimal of blemishes, which are pointed out in the photos and described here. The car starts with no issue whatsoever and drives like a Jag should. And it looks beautiful, right down to the "leaper" hood ornament.
This model is one of the re-invented Jags produced after Ford bought the Brit operation and put a full-court press on quality improvements. Most significant is the engine – a reliable, thrifty 4.0-liter, 24-valve, all-aluminum inline 6 with 4.0 liters gathering 223 horsepower. This is NOT the infamous finicky 12-cylinder engine that has given Jags a bad rap. Again, to quote Paul Dean at the LA Times, "The smaller engine makes for a more agile, better balanced car. Minus six cylinders and 200 pounds of engine metal, the JS gets off the line a smidge faster than the previous guard and seems just as athletic in higher acceleration ranges. It most certainly is easier on premium unleaded." It does get very good mileage -- originally rated at 17 city, 24 highway. Body: As stated earlier, no rust whatsoever. As shown in the photos, the paint quality is extremely good - not faded or dulled. There are a total of 3 minor blemishes on the exterior, all on the rear passenger corner. One is a small spot the size of a nickel at the outer corner of the trunk as shown in the photo. The other two blemishes are small "creases" in the metal only seen at an angle. Each is about 4" long, and looks like it was dinged by something small like a shopping cart. The paint is intact. All chrome is intact and in extremely good condition. There is about a 3/4" piece of rubber guard missing from the chrome on the passenger side door. All lights and turn signals work fine. Integrated fog lights are stock on this car. Trunk is immaculate and has a Jaguar 6-disc CD changer. Tires/Wheels: New Le Mans SR performance tires. Interior: Full Connolly leather interior with beautiful burl walnut trim. Has power seats with memories. Driver's seat shows crackling and wear, but no rips. Other seats are in extremely good condition. Back seats look as if they've never been used, and if you know about the size of a Jag's back seat, you know why. Car is equipped with automatic climate control and ice-cold air conditioning. This Jag also has a trip computer and alarm. Non-functioning cruise control. Dash and headliner in excellent condition -- no cracks, no tears. Glove box was lacking a lock mechanism; we've replaced it with a magnet. There is a driver's side air bag. Mechanicals: Everything operates as it should. Car has a 4-speed automatic transmission and anti-lock brakes. There are no leaks and it maintains its fluid levels. This car sold new for $49,750. |

2013 Jaguar XF 2.0T
Fri, 10 May 2013Jaguar is moving to modernize its XF engine lineup - once the exclusive territory of V8 mills - with a range including a turbo four, a supercharged six and supercharged V8s of various potencies. Personally, I'll miss the combination of this smooth looking and driving XF sedan, and the lazy power of the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter engine, even if the super six has earned some praise in other applications.
The truth is that the four, six, eight lineup for the XF makes a lot of sense, and this 2.0T version of the sedan is far better than I expected it to be. In fact, there's a legitimate argument to be made for it as the XF that works the best for the largest group of customers. Here's why:
Driving Notes
Jaguar says F-Type sales off to flying start
Fri, 31 May 2013As we noted in our recent first drive, Jaguar's luscious new F-Type roadster is a bit of a tweener in both size and cost, lining up in between rival Porsche's Boxster and 911. That one-for-two-segment strategy is showing early signs of paying off, with Automotive News reporting that half of the car's 2014 production allotment is already sold. We're not talking huge numbers - sports cars in this segment only "have a global annual volume of about 75,000 units and a market share of 0.1 percent," notes Jaguar brand director Adrian Hallmark. Yet the company figures the F-Type will work out to about 15 to 20 percent of its total volume of around 60,000 units.
From where we sit, this is all very encouraging news, but it's way too early to call the F-Type a smash hit. The sports car segment is known for its fickleness and its front-loaded sales curve, so the real measure of success will be how it fares over the next few years after early adopters get their cars. Jaguar will have to work to keep the F-Type fresh with new variants, and we hear it's prepared to do just that. The British luxury marque hasn't confirmed a hardtop coupe variant yet, but patent images and spy shots suggest one is on the way shortly, and it ought to extend the model's appeal greatly. A four-cylinder option and a manual transmission have also been rumored, and presumably Jaguar will eventually launch higher-performance R and R-S variants as it has done with various model lines, including its other sporty two door, the XK grand tourer.
Jaguar takes bite out of Mercedes' Magic Body Control chicken ad
Tue, 17 Dec 2013We were quite impressed by Mercedes-Benz when it aired its Magic Body Control commercial, starring a group suitably funky chickens demonstrating their ability to jive to Diana Ross and the Supremes. Now, Jaguar has taken the opportunity to poke some fun at its German rival, releasing its own take on the Magic Body Control spot, and um, there's a big cat involved.
You'll really want to take a look at this video, which is just another sign that in terms of clever ads, Jaguar is doing quite well. We aren't sure if "Jaguar vs. Chicken" will make it onto TV any time soon, but it's still fun to see the British brand take the mickey out of Mercedes - it's rare to see automakers go after each other so bluntly in their marketing efforts. Scroll down to watch the video (we've also included a bonus video, Jag's recent "Cat In A Box" spot).
