2003 Jaguar XK8 Convertible
British Racing Green with Saddle Interior 2 Owner Clean Car Fax Fully loaded Heated front seats Everything works Always garaged Brand new tires with less than 500 miles 2003 Jaguar XK8 4.2 liter with six speed automatic transmission. I purchased this car from a Mercedes Dealership and I am the second owner. I only drove this car on weekends during the Spring, Summer and Fall storing it during the winter months. The car is in great shape in and out with only some minor fading on the convertible top in two small areas. The top itself is in great shape. The interior has no rips, tears or cracks. The real wood dash is in great shape and all accessories work as they should. The leather seats are in great shape with the leather being soft a subtle. (My Wife says its the most comfortable car she has ever driven in) The car sits on four Nexen Summer performance tires installed this past spring. There are only a few very very minor scuffs on the edges of some of the rims but nothing that you would not expect from a used car and you really have to look for these very minor flaws. The car runs great, shifts smooth with no issues. The car has the factory windscreen which is a very nice option. This is a beautiful car. If you are in the market for a Jaguar XK8 I will tell you some things that you should know. The first generation of these cars up to model year 2002 were equipped with the 4.0 liter engine. This engine had some inherent internal engine flaws that needed attention. The timing chain guides were made from plastic and prone to premature failure resulting in blown engines. The repair was to change these guides with metal but this job is not covered by Jaguar and unless you are an experienced mechanic is very expensive. The thermostat was also made from plastic and again its an expensive fix and can be catastrophic if not done prior to failure. In 2003 Jaguar replaced the 4.0 liter engine with the 4.2 liter and matted it with a better preforming six speed transmission. The 4.2 has none of the issues that the 4.0 had and this is what led me to purchase this 2003 model year. I encourage all interested parties to come and see the car. The car is being sold AS IS with no warranties. The reserve has been set at a very reasonable price which was based on what recent listings have been bid up to regardless if these listings resulted in a sale. Car is for sale locally I reserve the right to end the auction anytime for any reason. Thanks for looking. |

2016 Jaguar XE is ready to stalk the competition
Mon, 08 Sep 2014
The XE wears some of the best styling elements from Jaguar's current litter.
Big sedans and sports cars. Jaguar has been known for those two things since the company's name was birthed in 1945. Stylish saloons like the Mark 2 and performance machines like the E-Type make up the brand's heritage, but the compact sedan market is one where the British marque has lacked great product.
Jaguar XK to cease production this summer
Mon, 10 Mar 2014With 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.
Is the Jaguar XFR-S really worth $17k more than the XFR? [w/poll]
Wed, 22 Jan 2014Adding performance to a car is rarely cheap - whether you're looking to do it yourself or rely on the factory to do it for you. In the case of the new Jaguar XFR-S, the cost differential over an already-impressive (and somewhat expensive) XFR is a stout $16,800. Auto Express recently got a hold of both cars to see whether that price pays off on the track.
For that price, Jaguar gives the XFR-S an extra 40 horsepower and 41 pound-feet of torque - for a total of 550 hp and 502 lb-ft - to go with a stiffer suspension, beefed-up differential and, of course, meaner styling. We don't want to ruin the results of the AE video, but right off the bat, the host says that you can feel the extra power of the XFR-S, but that it's not a "night-and-day difference."
Scroll down to see what happens when two high-powered Jags go head-to-head on a track. And then be sure to let us know whether or not you think the added money is worth it for the XFR-S in the completely informal poll below.
