I am selling my 1989 Jaguar 300HP XJS. I love this car. How much? I put 5k miles on this car in 3 months - AND I LIVE IN NYC. Car has been parked in a garage from the day it was made, the second owner had the car for nearly 20 years. I kept on the tradition of over-maintaining things. You can ask my wife, cleaning, servicing, upgrading on a weekly basis.
Why am I selling? The rare opportunity to own a vintage Ferrari has come up, and quite frankly I can't afford to garage two high end cars in NYC. If I lived in the suburbs there would be no question - I'd keep it. Perfect for the early morning drives. Long road trips. Loves long miles and high speeds. The high rev sound of the V12 engine is out of this world. Serious bidders only. I'm honest and candid and happy to answer all questions. Please inspect car to your liking. Reserve right to lower reserve price. Exterior - Paint in excellent condition. Small chips (as car collectors will be used to) that are only visible if pointed out directly. Only superficial, size of a pencil point and only through to primer. Have not seen better original paint from XJS of this year. Wheels are in perfect shape with original undamaged uncracked center jaguar caps. Interior - Very good conditions. Perfect sans 2 things. 1. Center wood slope could be replaced. Approximately $200 on ebay. 2. Piping on driver's side seat torn a bit. Another small repair. Outside of that there are NO blemishes. All wood in great condition. Dashboard in mint condition. All guages and switches and great working order. The carpets are in PERFECT condition. The original owner put cheap aftermarket carpets over the original so there are no stains in the wool whatsover. Leather is soft and uncracked which is rare for a 25 year old convertible! A/C blows cold and heat blows hot. Onboard "computer" works perfectly. Comes with stock cassette deck that is in perfect condition (sorry no Journey or Van Halen cassettes included). Engine - My jaguar mechanic told me this is the second cleanest engine compartment he's ever seen (at least I'm being honest). No rust, no dirt. Has really been taken care of. This car is stored in a closed indoor garage and is not driven in rain. Take a look for yourself and compare with others online and let me know if you've found a cleaner engine compartment. Running Order - Absolutely fantastic. Car accelerates fast, shifts perfectly, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, RUNS COOL. I did a full radiator flush and bleed a month ago. In addition to that I upgraded the auxiliary fan switch to a lower temperature trigger. Car runs well below the "N" during normal driving (in between the N and C). In bumper to bumper this runs at the bottom of the N. Please read jaguar forums for information about this - distributor and engine temperature are the 2 most important issues with this car). Service History - Extensive, approximately 20 years worth in hard paper form, including major services which are recommended by Jaguar aficiandos including the infamous distributor overhaul. Wrinkled old window sticker as well (Listed at $59k in 1989) Upgrades - Since March 2014 - 1) Upgraded growler intakes, adds around 15hp (I will include original silenced black airboxes as well if you'd like to swap back), 2) Mid resonator delete, and cat delete (car is exempt from exhaust testing because its 1989 / OBD-I vintage) - adds around 20HP, 3) new break pads, 4) New power steering high pressure hose, 5) New seals for rear differential I invite all mechanics or car guys to inspect. Happy to furnish you with VIN reports. |

Jaguar names its 3 Series-fighter XE, packs it with Ingenium engines
Tue, 04 Mar 2014Jaguar is committed to emerging from the fringes of the luxury car market and into the mainstream. Just take a look at where it was a couple of decades ago and where it is now: In the 1980s, it had essentially two product lines, the XJ sedan and XJ-S coupe/convertible), and now it's got the XK coupe and convertible, the XJ sedan, the XF sedan and wagon and the F-Type coupe and roadster. But it's not about to stop there.
Coventry knows that if it's going to take on the German and Japanese heavyweights, it's going to need a compact sports sedan, and it's not about to repeat the mistake that was the X-Type. To that end, it's long been rumored to be developing a rival to the likes of the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class - it just hasn't given us much to go on. But that changes right here and now.
At the Geneva Motor Show, Jaguar has confirmed the imminent arrival of its new sports sedan, and along with the teaser image above, has given us some juicy details. For one, it'll be called the XE - fitting nicely alongside its big brothers the XF and XJ in Jaguar's growing sedan lineup. For another, it'll hit markets overseas in 2015 and arrive here in the United States in 2016.
2013 Jaguar XF 2.0T
Fri, 10 May 2013Jaguar is moving to modernize its XF engine lineup - once the exclusive territory of V8 mills - with a range including a turbo four, a supercharged six and supercharged V8s of various potencies. Personally, I'll miss the combination of this smooth looking and driving XF sedan, and the lazy power of the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter engine, even if the super six has earned some praise in other applications.
The truth is that the four, six, eight lineup for the XF makes a lot of sense, and this 2.0T version of the sedan is far better than I expected it to be. In fact, there's a legitimate argument to be made for it as the XF that works the best for the largest group of customers. Here's why:
