At the time of purchase, this was a one owner car from a dealership in Florida and it's been registered in Saskatchewan for over 5 years now.

This Jaguar is in exceptional condition for its year, inside and out both in appearance and mechanical.  The engine, transmission and rear-end perform perfectly and they have never required any repairs in the 5 1/2 years I’ve owned it and there is no service records indicating any such repairs were done by the previous owner.  My wife drove it to Dallas TX (changing the oil prior to returning ) and the engine oil didn’t require topping up. That is a one way trip of 2,225 km.  In fact I’ve never had to top up between oil changes ever.
 
Where possible, I’ve maintained the car myself (with assistance of Jaguar savvy folks at www.jag-lovers.org ) and have driven it for 60,000 memorable kms.  Regular oil and filter changes and general maintenance was very strictly adhered to.  I really hate to part with it, but I’ve lost winter storage for it (only drive it in summer) and I have a 1972 Jaguar XJ6 project car to work on so something has to go.  It’s my hope that it will find a good home!
 
Small items of concern are: very small chip in passenger side tail light, typical wear on leather of driver seat from getting in and out. The safety neutral switch requires adjustment (working on it) so it only starts when placed in neutral.
 
Items I can remember doing:
 
>    front shocks in 2008
>    front suspension bushings replaced 2008
>    all four wheels aligned 2008 --- this was really important because the tires were worn unevenly and needed to be replaced.
>    four new tires in 2008
>    all four wheels refinished to remove minor curb rash, etc. 2010
>    all four oxygen sensors on exhaust system replaced new  in 2010
>    complete paint job 2011
>    true dual exhaust from cat back 2011
>    new front bumper (including lower air foil and grill) 2013
>    new windshield September 6, 2013

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla store reboot, Jaguar "EV-Type" an electric F-Pace?

Thu, Aug 27 2015

The Connecticut Hydrogen and Electric Automobile Purchase Rebate (CHEAPR) program is creating demand for EVs. $1 million has been set aside for rebates ranging from $750 to $3,000 per car, depending on battery size (in addition to federal incentives). Dealers also get an incentive of $150 to $300 per vehicle to help motivate them to promote EVs. "This is the type of program that can be a win-win-win for the state, auto manufacturers, dealers and consumers," says Chevrolet dealer Leo Karl, who has seen a jump in demand for the Volt under the CHEAPR program. Karl expects the funds to run out as early as this fall. Read more at Automotive News. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is scheduled to go on sale in the US in May 2016. As Mitsubishi makes some changes, including plans to ditch its Normal, IL assembly plant, the company's future in the US is being called into question. The new date for the plug-in hybrid version of the Outlander comes after multiple delays. Mitsubishi also plans to offer a 2016 model of the i-MiEV despite slowing sales.

The revamp includes informative interactive displays and a heavier emphasis on Tesla merchandise sales. The displays provide information about safety, Autopilot technology, the charging network, electric motors and other information to help familiarize customers with Tesla. The Tesla Design Collection - which includes luggage, apparel and other gear - also helps position Tesla as a luxury lifestyle brand, rather than just a mere automaker. Expect the stores to be continually updated over time. "Tesla is able to pivot in their stores the way they release new software," says Cadent Consulting Group's Ken Harris. "This is important to an emerging brand." Learn more from Bloomberg. Could Jaguar be planning an electric F-Pace called the EV-Type to compete with the Tesla Model X? Autocar is reporting that the upcoming SUV from Jaguar could spawn a whole family of vehicles, including an all-electric version. Jaguar has registered the trademark for the EV-Type name, and that vehicle would likely be built at the Magna Steyr factory in Graz, Austria. That would free up capacity to build the traditionally powered F-Pace in the UK. Read more at Green Car Reports, or at Autocar.

Jeremy Clarkson's Jag going up for auction

Sun, 18 Aug 2013

Fans of Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson might want to make plans to be in the UK next weekend. On August 24, Anglia Car Auctions in King's Lynn is auctioning off Clarkson's black 1999 Jaguar XJR as part of its classic sale. According to the auction house, the Jag was "originally the daily drive" of Clarkson and has had one registered owner since.
Clarkson's former ride clocks in at 93,000 miles and has an estimated price of 2,500 to 4,000 pounds. At roughly $3,300 to $5,300 in US dollars, that could be quite a steal for a hardcore Jeremy Clarkson fan. And with a supercharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and lavish interior, it's a luxury sport sedan lover's dream.
This isn't the first time Clarkson has crossed paths with Anglia Car Auctions. Back in 2009, he and fellow Top Gear stars James May and Richard Hammond made an appearance at another vintage auction to buy vehicles for a future segment of the show.
