2003 Jaguar X-type Awd--rare 5-speed--only 75k Miles--absolute No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:2003 Mileage:75844 Color: is also in good condition
Location:

Listed for sale, is this 2003 Jaguar X-Type AWD with 75k original miles.  Up until 5 days ago, the car ran and drove great.  Now it will not start, and the mechanics can't figure out why.  We initially thought it was the fuel pump, but that doesn't seem to be the problem.  We also checked the battery cables and fuses, and those seem to be fine.  One mechanic said it could be the engine, but the car is turn over (just not cranking), which is usually not a sign of a bad engine.  Plus, it only has 75K miles on it, which is low for an engine to go bad.  Nonetheless, we did price an engine for $500, but the owner didn't want to go that route.

The interior is in good condition with minimal wear and tear.  There are some minor rips in the leather, but the leather, carpet, and dash areas are clean.   The exterior is also in good condition. There is slight damage on the right fender and bumper area, but doesn't take away from the car's stunning appearance, and the paint looks really good.

Again, this is a NO RESERVE auction; so the highest bid wins.  This repair could be something minor, or it could be an expensive one.  Either way, this is a very good deal.  This car sells for $5500 to $6000.  So it's worth the repair. Your also welcome to view the vehicle before the listing ends.  However, if you have a feedback score less than 5, or have not received feedback within the past 12 months, please contact me before bidding.  If not, you're bid will be cancelled.  

Thanks and Good Luck!

2014 Jaguar F-Type, Project 7 Concept snarl in Jay Leno's Garage

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Jay Leno gets to drive a lot of nice cars, and the Jaguar F-Type V8 S he pilots in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is no exception. Eric Johnson, vice president of Jaguar Western Region brought the car to Leno's garage, which impresses the comedian with its 5.0-liter V8 that makes 495 horsepower, 460 pound-feet of torque and a muscle car-like roar.
But there's a surprise this episode: Leno secured a drive in the Project 7 Concept at Pebble Beach this year, and the experience was caught on video. Based on the F-Type, the Project 7 is a functional concept car that nods to Jaguar's seven wins at Le Mans and features bespoke styling cues, a special exhaust system and, perhaps most importantly, 50 more horsepower from the supercharged V8.
Watch the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage in the video below. You'll need a little over 23 minutes to see the whole thing.

Jaguar XK to cease production this summer

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

With the introduction of the F-Type coupe and convertible, Jaguar has cleared room in its sports car lineup to drop the XK for new models. "There will be a 2015 model year XK, but the rumors are true, production for the XK will end later this year after eight years," said Wayne York Kung, Jaguar USA National Product Communications Manager, in an email to Autoblog. A replacement for the GT might be a very long way off.
The automaker told Auto Express that it's part of a "wider strategic vision and product planning cycle." Ending assembly will allow the feline luxury brand to build better-selling vehicles like the XE, its upcoming BMW 3 Series fighter. The new sedan is scheduled to go on sale in Europe in 2015 and in the US in 2016. It also needs to make room for the C-X17 crossover to be built, which is likely expected to sell better than a 2+2 GT car.
"There are no immediate plans to replace the XK," said Kung in his email. Jag was rumored to be considering moving a future generation of it upmarket. The new model would have been a bigger, softer grand tourer and allow the F-Type to be the brand's more hardcore sports car.

Jaguar recalling XK Convertible and XF 2.0T sedan for unrelated issues

Fri, 16 Aug 2013

Jaguar 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.
