2002 Jaguar Xj8 Vanden Plas on 2040-cars

2002 XJ8 VDP, white w/ gold pinstripe down sides, Penta wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport tires - fronts ~90% / rears ~40%. PO replaced front tires only for some reason. I bought this car for my wife, but she'd never drive it during any inclement weather. If it sprinkled out, she would keep it in the garage. I refuse to drive it to work because of the inconsiderate employees who will fling open their doors and smack the vehicles next to them and not even care. Since we've owned it, it was rarely driven. I believe since owning it, we've put on approximately 3,000 miles. I pulled a CarFax on this car before I bought it and confirmed the car has never been in an accident.

VIN: SAJDA24C02LF40307

Interior is in great condition, exterior is in great condition. The windows are tinted at 20% all around, except for the windshield. I had the windows tinted to prevent UV light damage to the interior if and when it was parked outside during normal use. There are a couple of chips in the windshield, but no cracks. The front end and the lights have a thick, clear, polyethylene plastic bra of some sort. I believe this was a factory option as it looks OEM. The brakes are around 50-60%. The transmission shifts smoothly and the car drives great. I’ve owned BMWs, Mercedes and this Jaguar. The V8 in this car is by far the most well balanced V8 I’ve ever seen or driven. When you shut it off, there is zero vibration, same with starting and running. It runs as smooth as glass. Absolutely everything works 100% perfectly, no issues. This car does not have the adaptive damping system option, which is something I specifically wanted to avoid when looking for an XJ8. This car has always been garaged, its entire life. There is zero rust on this car anywhere.

Last month I replaced the air filter, oil filter, Castrol 5W30 oil, spark plugs and battery. All work performed in accordance with the JTIS manuals and fluids/filters/plugs are OEM spec. I highly recommend JTIS to anyone who owns or wants to purchase one of these vehicles. Performing maintenance and service on these vehicles is not difficult. Everything is very well thought out and sometimes additional information from JTIS or other sources is advantageous to understand why the assembly was designed that way. It's on its second fuel pump via dealership work under the previous owner. I have full service records throughout its entire life, all of which will be included with all other documentation of the vehicle. When I bought the car, I bought an AE scan tool to ensure I had the capability of diagnosing codes. Zero codes.

I washed, waxed, detailed and cleaned the car, then took over 150 photos. Photos are displayed below. The photos were taken with a 14MP DSLR with a 40mm prime lens, thus the lack of zoom and panoramas. The photos are grouped by exterior, engine compartment, interior cabin, trunk, and miscellaneous. The miscellaneous photos depict all documentation which comes with the car. If prospective buyer would like the photos in higher definition, please do not hesitate to contact me via email and ask.
