Cherry, pampered, Carnival Red, 1-owner, new engine 9K miles ago. As close to
new as a 14-year-old car can be. Garaged at both ends of its commute, this Seattle
car has never seen salt and barely seen sun; that's why the paint is still vibrant and
shiny. The exterior has a half-dozen micro-flaws (tiny rock dings, one scratch; see
close-up pics). The interior is like new save for a dime-size crack in the parking
brake boot, a nickel-size scuff on the steering wheel, a quarter-size (tar?) stain in
the driver's foot well, and slight scuffing on the driver's seat.

This first-year S-Type had an engine with the nikasil cylinder liners. (For the
uninitiated, search "Jaguar nikasil"). At 118K, the engine was done. Wife loved the
car (it's her driver), so I had the original engine completely rebuilt to the tune of
$14K (including labor); see the scanned paperwork. Now it's a year later and she
wants a Jaguar XK. Oh well. (By the way, will trade with cash for a 2007-09 Jaguar
XK, or 2000-03 Subaru WRX wagon, unless it's silver or gray.)

Have all records from day one. All the failure-prone bits have already been replaced.
Someone's going to get a beautiful great-driving car at a bargain price. The opening
bid is the cost of the new engine.

$500 due at auction's end. Any form of payment is OK, but I'll wait for any check
(including cashier's checks) to clear the originating bank before releasing the car.

This is the part of the auction text where there's usually a bunch of vaguely
threatening language about your bid being a contract, and ask any questions before
you bid, and stuff like that. Here's my deal: buying a car online is hard. I've bought
and sold several over the years. If you're near Seattle, you're welcome to come drive
this car and have it inspected by a mechanic. If you win this auction and for whatever
reason do not like this car when you see it in person and drive it, then you can have
your deposit back, no hassle, no negative feedback. The fault will be entirely mine
for somehow failing to represent the car accurately.

If you will be shipping the car, I'm home during the day and can assist your shipper.
If you want to fly in and drive home, I can pick you up at the airport; I live about 10
miles from Sea-Tac.

Any questions, don't hesitate.

Jaguar Land Rover considering Mexican plant

Mon, Apr 27 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has been expanding its production out of the UK and into overseas markets, and according to the latest word from Bloomberg, the British automaker is considering spending more than half a billion dollars to build a new assembly plant somewhere in Mexico. Since the Range Rover Sport and Evoque are two of the company's top sellers in the US, those would reportedly be the most likely to be manufactured at the Mexican plant, although Jaguars could follow as well. The automaker was previously said to be leaning towards a location in the Southern US, and while it could conceivably proceed with plans for both, it would be more likely to go with one or the other. State and local authorities below the Mason-Dixon line have been soliciting the business with various incentives, but lower labor costs South of the Border could prove more attractive to JLR and its parent company Tata. It wouldn't be the first, after all. Over the past month alone, General Motors committed to building the next Chevy Cruze in Mexico, Toyota did the same with the Corolla, Hyundai was reported to be considering a similar step, and Ford announced two new plants in the country amounting to a $2.5-billion investment. Luxury automakers like Audi, BMW and Mercedes have also been delving into Mexican production as well, blazing a path that JLR could potentially follow. The British automaker recently opened a plant in China and another in Brazil, while investing in additional facilities in the UK as well.

The Lister SUV-E is a faster Jaguar I-Pace

Tue, Nov 5 2019

The Jaguar I-Pace is getting a bump from Lister. Yes, Lister of all companies is going to be selling a limited amount of what it calls the Lister SUV-E. It’s more than just some splotches of paint and a higher price tag, too. Lister says it gave the Jag a software update, resulting in more horsepower and torque over a standard I-Pace. We donÂ’t know how much more, but Lister is promising a 0-60 mph time of four seconds. ThatÂ’s 0.5 second quicker than a normal I-Pace, so Lister obviously made a significant difference with its tune. However, Lister also managed to remove 220 pounds from the I-Pace through various lightweighting efforts, bringing the curb weight down to 4,482 pounds. So, itÂ’s still heavy, but weÂ’re sure this will feel just a hair better in every way. Carbon fiber parts are the main source of weight loss. Lister has used the lightweight material for the front bumper, hood, splitter, rear bumper, roof spoiler and rear diffuser. Carbon ceramic brakes and titanium wheels lower the unsprung weight of the car, too. Strangely, Lister says it has a Â“more aggressive exhaust sound.Â” WeÂ’re not sure what that is going to consist of, but it could be cooler than the spaceship electric noises the I-Pace makes as of now. A fully-adjustable suspension should also aid handling Â— Lister says itÂ’s even lower than the regular I-Pace. All of this goodness will cost you, as the Lister is going to be priced at GBP125,000. ThatÂ’s $161,025 converted to American dollars. Yowza.Â Green Jaguar Crossover Hatchback Electric Luxury Performance

Jaguar I-Pace sets Laguna Seca record, virtually matches Tesla Model S P100D

Fri, Aug 24 2018

Jaguar has announced that the I-Pace crossover has set the Laguna Seca lap record for production electric vehicles. With racing driver Randy Pobst behind the wheel, the I-Pace HSE completed a lap in 1 minute and 48.18 seconds. Jaguar was adamant to stress that the record-setting vehicle was bone stock with "no modifications whatsoever." As Jalopnik reports, a bit of a dispute arose about the lap time, as a Tesla Model S P100D is said to have completed a lap in 1 minute, 47.62 seconds. However, the Tesla in question had received brake upgrades, unlike the factory specification Jaguar. The I-Pace's two electric motors are good for a combined 400 horsepower and 513 pound-feet, propelling the SUV to 62 mph in just 4.8 seconds. Jaguar has also released video footage from the Laguna Seca run, above. Look for the slide at the 30-second mark! Pobst must have been enjoying himself, as you can hear him guffawing after the famous Corkscrew section. While this record was all about the prowess of a production EV, there will be a racing series featuring the I-Pace, as the I-Pace eTrophy begins in the fifth season of ABB FIA Formula E.
