Offered for sale is my 1999 Jaguar XJ8L. This is the very desirable long wheelbase version with about an extra 6" of rear legroom. Rare silver over dark navy blue interior. I purchased this car a year ago and drove it daily, putting about 10,000 miles on it. It has never broken down, failed to start, or stranded me. Very well maintained and always serviced at the dealer. Driving this car is a special experience. It is still tight, solid, and rattle-free. In contrast, I have driven Mercedes and BMWs that have rattles at 50,000 miles. The interior and carpets are very well kept, the lone exception being the driver's seat that has some wear on the left bolster, and the rear seat that has a small tear about 1/4" long. As for the exterior, there are two or three small door dings and a small dent on the right front fender and a small dent on the rear trunklid surface. The bumpers have a few scratches. I have priced the car accordingly. The car has brand-new Bridgestone Ecopia tires with the correct speed rating. I just took the car to Las Vegas and back and the car drives like a dream- road trips are its forte. The leather still smells new and everything on the car works. There are three things that need attention- the left front fog lamp is broken, the right front upper shock bushings need replacing, and the left front wheel bearing is starting to make noise. I have purchased the parts to repair all three and I will do the work before you pick it up. I am an ASE-certified mechanic and I have been through this car top to bottom. I recently replaced the front shocks and front brakes. It is truly a wonderful car and a great value for the money. These cars really get a bad rap because of poor dealer service and high cost of dealer repairs. If you can do a few simple things yourself, they are not that bad at all. Parts are cheap and plentiful. Please bid only if you intend to buy the car. $500 deposit via PayPal is due within 48 hours of auction close, balance due upon delivery within 14 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions, I will answer them promptly. Good luck!

Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake
Thu, 19 Sep 2013History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.
Jaguar to reveal small sedan at Paris show
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Small sedans are big business for luxury automakers. The C-Class is the top seller for Mercedes-Benz, much as the 3 Series is for BMW, but Jaguar has historically missed out on that market. Its last attempt, the X-Type, proved woefully inadequate, and Jaguar hasn't attempted to take on that market again since. But that's all about to change.
Coventry has been working on a new small Jaguar for some time now (using test mules like the one above wearing modified XF body panels), and according to the latest reports coming in from the UK, it will showcase the result of those efforts at the Paris Motor Show next October. The show car will take the form of a pre-production concept that is expected to preview the production version very closely before the final item is unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.
Tipped to be called XS (somewhat appropriately for the brand's smallest model), the new sedan is expected to be the first to use the company's new aluminum platform previewed by the C-X17. Expect styling to follow along similar lines to said crossover concept and the F-Type sportscar, with eventual sedan, wagon and coupe versions to round out the family.
Jaguar F-Type Coupe proves sexy can't be disguised
Wed, 19 Jun 2013Jaguar's new F-Type is a pretty potent little pouncer. And while we do love a good roadster, many of us at Autoblog are perhaps more excited about the upcoming hardtop version of Jag's stylish new entry-level sports car. Why? Because even here in heavily camouflaged prototype form, the thing looks really, really good - the sleek roofline blending rather nicely into the F-Type's shapely rump, allowing for better distinction of its pronounced hips over the rear wheel wells.
Mechanically speaking, the F-Type Coupe should be identical to its droptop sibling. That means the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 engine lineup should carry over unchanged, though we've heard rumors about a four-cylinder application as well. There's also talk of hotter R, R-S or R-S GT models coming down the pipeline, and based on what we've experienced in things like the XKR-S, we certainly can't deny the allure of such a model.
It's unclear exactly when Jaguar will show the production F-Type Coupe (at the Frankfurt Motor Show, perhaps?), but the car is expected to go on sale sometime in 2014. Check it out in our latest spy gallery, above.
