Check out the cheapest 4.2L XKR Convertible on the internet period!  I am helping my friend sell his car as he is moving back to New York and will have no need for a vehicle especially a convertible with winter coming!  I have had a chance to have the car in my possession for a couple of weeks now and have gone through it and this is a VERY solid car. 

My friend Bought the car in March of this year from the original owner in Alpharetta Georgia.  The car was purchased with 146,000 miles on it and was serviced for its ENTIRE life at Nalley Automotive - Jaguar.  I have over $13,000 worth of receipts dating back from when the car had 29k miles on it till when the car was purchased in march where it had another $700 dollar service done before it was sold.  The previous owner used the car almost exclusively for highway driving as he commuted a long distance to and from work every day.  Do not let the miles scare you the maintenance records alone show the care and money put into the long term maintenance of this car.

Body

The body is almost flawless which completely amazed me.  I could not find a single ding on the entire car and the back bumper (thanks parking sensors!) looks brand new!
The front bumper because of the highway driving does have rock chips on it as well as one small crack that looks to be easily repaired from behind.  If someone painted the current bumper or put a new front bumper on it the exterior of the car would really be almost perfect!

Interior

The interior is black leather with wood gran trim surrounding the dash.   It has the Alpine sound system with CD changer in the trunk.  From what I can tell everything works on the inside including the power retractable top.  It has the black leather Recaro seats in it.  They have no tears or rips in them and besides being a big dry are in good shape.  The back seats are in excellent condition.  It does have the factory navigation. When it is turned on it says something a bout the navigation CD.  I did not try and look into this but my friend said that when he did use the factory navigation it worked fine.

Drive train

After driving it the transmission seems perfect.  No slipping or issues that I am aware of.  I have not driven an XKR before this so I am not sure how they are supposed to feel but the transmission seems to shift fine.

I made sure to NOT clean the engine bay for the new owner.  This is exactly how the motor was given to me and I feel this is important to show how it is rather then trying to dress it up.  All fluids look clean and filled.  I recently checked all intake plumbing and vacuum hoses for leaks and besides tightening a few clamps found no issues as well.  I also hooked up my OBD 2 scanner to the car to check for engine codes (engine light was off) and there were no stored codes either.

Brakes and tires

The tires are the original equipment Pirelli PZERO tires.  Two of them were replaced in March and the other two were in excellent condition.  these are very expensive tires and they look to be almost new!

The brakes come with the large red calipers and slotted rotors.  I know the owner let me know the brake rotors need to be cleaned often to make sure they stopped properly.  The pads and fluid looks good but the brakes seem to not stop as fast as I thought they might. This could be perfectly normal as I am not used to driving a very fast heavy touring car.  There is no noise from the brakes and seem to be in good condition.

Only known Issues I have found

The Airbag light is on on the vehicle.  It blinks two times when the car is turned on and after some research it seems this is an indication of a one of the airbag sensors either on the back of the seat or the bottom of it.  The HAL sensor is known to go bad and this seems to be the issue.  I had the capacity to reset the code but I decided against this so the new owner knows of this small issue.  Because of the mechanic checking this out the back of the leather seats were un clipped to have access to this.  New clips are needed to put the small trim sides back on but since these will probably be taken off again to fix the issue I decided to leave it as is.  Besides this issue There are NO other lights on the dash, warning lights or any other issues that I can find.  This well maintained car looks to be in very solid condition and you can get a 90k dollar super car for a fraction of the cost!


Terms and Shipping.

I have no problem shipping the car anywhere in the continental USA for the new owner.  The new owner will pay for all shipping cost but I am familiar with doing this and will assist where I can.  A $500.00 deposit is due within 48 hours of the close of auction.  The remaining payment will need to be sent to me either through bank transfer or overnight cashier check.  The title will then be mailed with a copy of the owners front an back of his driver license.  I have 100% Ebay feedback and will make sure this transaction is VERY easy and quick to ensure everyone is happy!  If you are local and want to check the car out please message me to set up an appointment I have no problem showing the vehicle!

Jaguar rolls out 2014 XJ updates

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

It may be an uphill battle with Mercedes-Benz having rolled out its all-new S-Class, but in an effort to entice more customers towards its flagship sedan, Jaguar has announced a series of enhancements for the XJ.
A number of upgrades aim to make the long-wheelbase model that much more accommodating, with new airline-style rear seats that recline, massage and optimize the headroom in the back. The rear suspension has also been recalibrated for comfort, and there's a new optional Meridian sound system with a Conversation Assist feature that uses microphones in the headliner to pick up occupants' voices and pipe them through the speakers to support the art of conversation in motion.
The engine range carries over unchanged, but each engine is now mated to an eight-speed automatic with an available stop/start system which Jaguar says takes less time to restart the engine than it takes for the driver to move his or her right foot from brake to gas. Full details in the press release below.

Jaguar F Type V6 S vs Triumph Street Triple R in open-air track attack

Sun, 21 Sep 2014

Typically, these track battle videos pair up car against car or, in more disparate circumstances, car versus crossover, as we saw the other day. While the outcome of that battle was quite predictable, what'll happen when an equally fetching (and fast) four-wheeler is put up against one of the icons of the two-wheeled world? Evo just had to find out.
Matching up a Jaguar F-Type V6 S Convertible against a Triumph Street Triple R is at least more of an even fight than the last battle between the Porsche Cayman GTS and Macan Turbo. The Triumph has a 675-cc engine to work with, and is very light. Meanwhile, the Jag has a thumping 380-horsepower, 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 to haul about it's considerably heftier heft. Who will come out on top?
You'll need to watch the full video to find out.

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

Jaguar 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.
