Please read entire ad, including watching videos and looking at all the pictures, before asking questions. I try to do my best to show the car exactly how it is and I posted a lot of pictures and videos and description so you can see if this is the car for you. The car is in nice shape and runs great. Check out my full description below with 100+ pics in html form and 2 videos. If you have any questions let me know.
2001 Jaguar XJ8. 50K original miles, currently 49,999 and just about to hit 50K (maybe be a few miles over 50K by the time you get it). It runs and drives great with no problems. I am selling it for my neighbor. Clean California title. Current California registration until Feb. 2015. Black paint with Tan leather interior. Paint overall is in nice condition overall. The hood is starting to fade a little, but not too bad and could be made to look better with a wax / buff / etc. I only washed it. Im sure a professional wax / buffing would make the car look even nicer than it already is. It is not bad at all and I am being more critical because it is an online auction and I want to point out everything I notice. It has 1 very small minor ding on the hood (see pic) and another very small ding on the driver side quarter. Both are very minor and not very noticeable. There are 2 very very minor chips on the paint on the hood. See pics to see how minor / very . I want to show everything about the car so you can see. I didn't see anything else around the whole car and that is really good for a black car. It is very straight. The black original paint is very shiny and reflective still. You can see this in the pics and video. It has a small rock chip in the passenger side front window (see pic). The rear bumper had a chip in the paint on the corner and had a little black paint sprayed over it (see pic). It has a small scratch in the middle of the rear bumper (see pic). The car has a couple of minor little scratches on the paint, a little one on the door and a little on on the trunk (see pics), will easily remove with a routine waxing or buffing. Other than these little minor cosmetics, the car looks great. Check out the video and pictures to see it. The Chrome, Windows, Body, lights and everything is in nice shape. In the video I said that one of the tires had some cracks on the side wall needs to be replaced, that is now the spare tire and the car has a new tire on it. The tires are in good condition and have good tread. The 2 back ones are pretty new. The rims are in good condition with no rash (car is usually parked in driveway/ was garaged until 2008 / had car cover most of the time until last year). In the video I said my neighbor was the original owner, but he is actually the 2nd owner. The interior is tan and in nice condition. The leather on the drivers seat shows a little wear but not much and is in nice condition. The interior is very nice condition overall. There is a small rip on the center console top (see pic). There is a little spot on the back seat and a little scratch / very minor (see pic). There are a couple cracks in the wood grain, one on the dash near the left button, a couple small ones on the driver side door panel insert, and one on the passenger side door panel insert (see pics). The headliner is sagging in the back and needs to be glued back up to be perfect but fine as is. It is a cheap fix. It is a common problem that happens on these cars. Everything works good. Non smoker car. Nice interior. Engine is a 4.0 and runs great. 50K original miles. Transmission shifts nice. No leaks. Car runs and drives great like a car with 50K original miles should. 2001 was a good year for Jag, as they upgraded the Aluminum Engine block, the Throttle Body and the Timing Chain to correct problems from previous years. These upgrades from the factory make a 2001 model much more desirable and reliable than a 2000 or previous years because it is so much better of a vehicle. If you are getting a Jaguar of this style you want it to be a 2001 and up for sure. It passed California smog in the last year (Oct 2013) no problem. For CA Buyers, I dont currently have it smogged because smog is only good for 90 days in CA. Since I am putting it on ebay and it might get sold another state it would be a waste of money to smog it in CA. so I am selling it as is, and will let you handle the smog if you need it. It will pass no problem in California, the most restrictive state for smog. It has passed all prior checks. You can check the history at , California Smog Check History , just type in the plate number or vin number. Overall this is a great car. It runs, drives and looks great and is in the condition you would expect a 50K mile original well kept car should be in. This is one of the lowest mile 2001 Jaguar XJ8's that has been on ebay in the past couple months. I have seen ones with more miles sell for more than the starting bid I am putting this car for sale at. I am starting it at $4000 with no reserve. The highest bidder wins it. My neighbors have too many cars and need to make some room so here is your chance to get a great deal. If you have been looking for a low mileage Jag here it is. I have the title, keys and car here and it is ready to go. If I think of anything else I will add it to the ad. If you have any questions let me know. Check out the video and pictures to see the car for yourself. You can make the videos bigger by clicking on the title and watching it on my YT channel. I have put a lot of pictures in html form, so if you are looking from a phone you might need to look from a computer to see all of them. Non refundable deposit of $200 due through Paypal within 24 hours of auctions end. Car should be paid for within 10 days of auction end. Car needs to be picked up within 3 weeks of auctions end. If any of these are a problem for you and you are serious about bidding / buying please contact me. If you are going to have the car shipped I can assist in meeting the shipper / truck when they get close to my house. I have sold cars on ebay before and everything has always gone smooth. Check my feedback. If you have any questions let me know. Serious only please :) Thanks and good luck. |

The UK votes for Brexit and it will impact automakers
Fri, Jun 24 2016It's the first morning after the United Kingdom voted for what's become known as Brexit – that is, to leave the European Union and its tariff-free internal market. Now begins a two-year process in which the UK will have to negotiate with the rest of the EU trading bloc, which is its largest export market, about many things. One of them may be tariffs, and that could severely impact any automaker that builds cars in the UK. This doesn't just mean companies that you think of as British, like Mini and Jaguar. Both of those automakers are owned by foreign companies, incidentally. Mini and Rolls-Royce are owned by BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover by Tata Motors of India, and Bentley by the VW Group. Many other automakers produce cars in the UK for sale within that country and also export to the EU. Tariffs could damage the profits of each of these companies, and perhaps cause them to shift manufacturing out of the UK, significantly damaging the country's resurgent manufacturing industry. Autonews Europe dug up some interesting numbers on that last point. Nissan, the country's second-largest auto producer, builds 475k or so cars in the UK but the vast majority are sent abroad. Toyota built 190k cars last year in Britain, of which 75 percent went to the EU and just 10 percent were sold in the country. Investors are skittish at the news. The value of the pound sterling has plummeted by 8 percent as of this writing, at one point yesterday reaching levels not seen since 1985. Shares at Tata Motors, which counts Jaguar and Land Rover as bright jewels in its portfolio, were off by nearly 12 percent according to Autonews Europe. So what happens next? No one's terribly sure, although the feeling seems to be that the jilted EU will impost tariffs of up to 10 percent on UK exports. It's likely that the UK will reciprocate, and thus it'll be more expensive to buy a European-made car in the UK. Both situations will likely negatively affect the country, as both production of new cars and sales to UK consumers will both fall. Evercore Automotive Research figures the combined damage will be roughly $9b in lost profits to automakers, and an as-of-yet unquantified impact on auto production jobs. Perhaps the EU's leaders in Brussels will be in a better mood in two years, and the process won't devolve into a trade war. In the immediate wake of the Brexit vote, though, the mood is grim, the EU leadership is angry, and investors are spooked.
Jaguar Land Rover invests $1.5B to build factory in Slovakia
Fri, Dec 11 2015Jaguar Land Rover will invest 1 billion pounds ($1.5 billion at current rates) to build a new factory in Nitra, Slovakia. Construction will commence in 2016, and the site will have an initial capacity of 150,000 vehicles a year when the first of them roll out in late 2018. JLR expects to employ 2,800 people there. JLR won't yet say what vehicle it will build in Slovakia, other than it will be an all-new aluminum model. The 2018 timing for the plant's start of production seems to coincide with the launch of the radically different next-gen Land Rover Defender, though. Earlier reports suggested that JLR also considered locations in North America, particularly Georgia, and Europe for the new factory. However, the company signaled the Slovakia choice earlier this year when it signed a letter of intent with the government there in August. The automaker then did a final feasibility study before committing to the site. The new factory continues JLR's recent manufacturing expansion. The company opened an engine plant in the UK last year and a factory in China. There will also be one soon in Brazil, and it will reportedly bid to buy the Silverstone Circuit as a new headquarters. JAGUAR LAND ROVER CONFIRMS NEW FACTORY IN SLOVAKIA • New world-class premium manufacturing facility confirmed in Nitra • The next stage of the Company's plans for sustainable global growth • Today's announcement also supports long-term investment in the UK Bratislava, Slovakia – Jaguar Land Rover has confirmed that it will be the first British carmaker to open a manufacturing facility in Slovakia. The announcement follows an agreement between the company and the Government of the Slovak Republic to build a new plant in the city of Nitra, western Slovakia. The new world-class GBP1 billion premium manufacturing facility will eventually employ around 2,800 people. Today's announcement follows Jaguar Land Rover's recent confirmation to double its investment in its engine plant in the UK to almost GBP1 billion – the largest injection into a new British manufacturing plant in decades creating several hundred new jobs. Dr Ralf Speth, Chief Executive Officer, Jaguar Land Rover commented, "Jaguar Land Rover is delighted today to welcome Slovakia into our family. The new factory will complement our existing facilities in the UK, China, India and Brazil and marks the next step in the company's strategy to become a truly global business.
Weekly Recap: The divergent paths of Tesla and Fisker
Sat, 02 Aug 2014
There's no doubt that Tesla is downshifting while Fisker has been grinding its gears. But it wasn't always that way.
In the wake of Tesla's recent success, it's easy to forget that there were once two California electric carmakers with bright futures.
