Offered for sale is a 1998 Jaguar XJ8 with 183,217 miles. The body and undercarriage of the car has some rust, as can be seen in the pictures. The engine was replaced by Jaguar at about 80k miles, and the transmission was also replaced at 100k. I have used the car for the last few years. The car ran and drove fine until last week, when the left rear hub bearing failed in the hub carrier and the wheel now wobbles excessively, so it is not currently drivable. There is an issue with the electrical system, as the engine warning light, traction control, stability control, and ABS lights are all on. The speedometer does not work, but the odometer still logs mileage. The rest of the gauges work fine. The windshield has a crack along the bottom of the glass. The aftermarket radio and speakers have been removed. The car was painted at some point, and some of the paint is chipped off of the front and rear bumpers.

The Bridgestone Potenza tires were put on new this summer. Engine oil and filter were just replaced at 183,000 miles. The A/C, heater, heated seats, and sunroof all work.

This car can either be repaired and driven, or could be used as a parts car. I am selling the car because I do not have the time to fix, and need a truck instead of a car. Email with any questions. This is a no reserve auction, highest bidder wins. Good luck and happy bidding!

Jaguar and Land Rover to consolidate dealerships

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

Jaguar and Land Rover are set to merge their sales facilities, according to Inside Line. Jaguar Land Rover North America President Andy Gross says 45 percent of Jaguar owners also have an SUV in their stable, so it makes sense to give customers as much exposure to the cat's high-riding cousins and possible. The number of overall outlets will remain the same, and the brands will reportedly remain separate on the showroom floor, however.
So far, just one dealer has made the move to combine under the roof of one 68,000 square-foot facility in Paramus, New Jersey (above), though a further 20 are ready to make the shift and become Jaguar Land Rover outlets. Gross believes the shift is necessary so that his company's dealer network will accurately reflect the company's products. We'll see how cozy the brands are when Jaguar starts rolling out its own SUVs in a few years.

Jaguar Land Rover details JustDrive connectivity suite

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.

Say goodbye to Jaguar's vestigial oval grille

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Jaguar has been on a campaign to replace any and all retro cues with modern ones. Just look at the current XJ and the one it replaced, or the XF and the S-Type that came before it and you'll know what we mean. The one remnant is the XK and its oval grille, in and of itself a throwback to Jags of old (which started to look more like a certain Star Wars alien in above-pictured XKR-S form). But don't expect it to hang around.
Newer Jaguars have been ditching the oval aperture for a more squared-off one, and the next XK will have to fall in line. But don't expect that to be the only change in store for the next-generation Jaguar coupe and convertible.
With the new F-Type now holding the more enthusiast-oriented ground, the next XK is expected to grow bigger, softer and more luxurious. That will likely mean a more commodious back seat as well, though that shouldn't be hard to do considering the lack of space in the back of the current model...
