Incredible Ride! Power Plus Luxury, Near Mint Cond., Low Miles, So Fast And Fun! on 2040-cars
Eugene, Oregon, United States
The Amazing Jaguar XJR, 1997 Sedan. VEHICLE CONDITION: THIS CAR IS NEARLY PERFECT CONDITION. The exterior, I have to say, is practically flawless. The paint job is EXCEPTIONALLY MINT. Only the tiniest scuff can be seen on the front bumper, the rest of the finish is superb and practically glows with a fine midnight blue-black shine. I love hand washing it and it has definitely been well taken care of! Pride of ownership throughout. The interior, although it is less than mint condition, it is still totally clean, well taken care of and fully functioning. It has some slight signs of wear on the seats (minimal) and part of the headliner is bowed, but the rest of the interior is still in perfect, nice working condition and it looks absolutely great. Tires have 75% tread still left on them and the rims are in excellent condition. ALL FEATURES FUNCTION WELL, COLD AC, RESPONSIVE NEWER BRAKES, LOUD ALARM SYSTEM, EXCEPTIONAL STEREO, POWER EVERYTHING, IT ALL WORKS AS IT SHOULD AND IS IN GREAT CONDITION. TAKE A LOOK AT EVERYTHING THIS CAR COMES WITH: PERFORMANCE SPECS:
HANDLING SPECS: Exterior Features and Specs: INTERIOR FEATURES AND SPECS: This 1997 Jaguar XJR is a finely tuned, exceptionally powerful, near mint condition vehicle that absolutely will turn heads wherever you go. So, if you are the shy, reserved type this car probably wont do since there is not a day that goes by when I drive this car that people don't stop to comment on how beautiful she is! I've met dozens of new people just by parking at the grocery stores and having folks stop me to comment on this car, saying things like "What a beautiful car!" and " I've got one of these beauties at home myself" and "Wow! Is that a Rolls Royce?!" (lol) and my favorite from a little boy, "I love your car, will you marry me?" It is definitely a social "ice breaker" whether you like that perk or not, : ) This car is so much fun to drive too, a real pleasure, smooth, like it is gliding over the pavement, responsive, quick acceleration, really powerful get up and go for sure! You can beat any hot rod out the gate with this performance driven ride! I enjoy my everyday errands ten times more when I get to drive the Jag. SO WHAT DO THE OTHER 1997 JAGUAR XJR DRIVER'S HAVE TO SAY? FOUR INDEPENDENT REVIEWS (FOUND AT: EDMUNDS.COM) FROM THE OWNERS THEMSELVES: #1) KING of the Road By Jeff on 1997 Jaguar XJR 4dr Sedan Review Being in the auto industry for over 25 years I did my research on this purchase, searched for 2 years for this beauty. You cannot find a better combination of style, class and performance out there for the buck. Replaced exhaust system with a stainless steel one i.e. mina, borla. Yoko's are the best tire. Get a radar detector!Favorite Features The stock HK stereo is out of this world._______________________________________________________________________________ #2) Great Car By EricXJR37 on 1997 Jaguar XJR 4dr Sedan Review It's a beautiful car no doubt, it drives like a dream, for the 4.0L supercharged motor it's not really hard on gas I'd say I get 25 mpg . It's a real head turner, the 17 inch rims are nice for and stock rim from the dealer, I like the CD changer since it is easy to put 6 of my favorite cd's into the disc changer and listen to a variety of my favorite music all at the touch of a button.Favorite Features Performance , Luxury comfort, LOOKS are incredible, Supercharged in-line 6 way better on gas than a v12.________________________________________________________________________________ #3) XJR Luxury rocketby klet on Dec 15, 2012 Vehicle: 1997 Jaguar XJRthis car not only turns heads,but leaves the the competition behind. very very very fast!!! i am always with smile on my face when i drive this car, it is the best kept secret around!!! _______________________________________________________________________________ #4) How come know one talksby HateGermanBrakes on Sep 16, 2002 Vehicle: 1997 Jaguar XJRIt'a rocket in hiding. If a BMW 540 owner ever had this car, he would be bragging about his V-8. Power is amazing at 322 HP. New Mods (V8's) have higher HP 370 but about the same same torque. Had many other HP luxury cars. This one has power is better than BMW's 540, or Mercedes 430 or Lexus 400 series. Reliability has been better than average for me. Brakes are way better than any any german car. I have 57K on original brakes and they still look good for another 20K. Both my BMW's and Mercedes ate brakes about ever 20-25K. Can't believe it took me this long to buy a Jaguar, I'm never going back to anything else! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Well, you've heard it straight from the "horse's mouth" with those reviews and WOW, what a car!

First Ride: 2014 Jaguar F-Type [w/video]
Fri, 08 Feb 2013Shotgun In Coventry's First Sports Car In Decades
For every car, there is a passionate group of fans who love it, and the F-Type already has a few million rabid followers. These are fabulous things, sports cars, and we're very happy that Jaguar is making one again. Finally. (Before you start relishing the prospect of correcting us, the XK is really a grand tourer, not a sports car.)
The main question, however, will be whether someone in a position to buy a lifestyle-enhancing yet impractical F-Type will do so in the face of more established competitors from Porsche, Aston Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW. The last time Jaguar built a true two-seater sports car (1974 E-Type; the last of the XJ220 limited run in 1994 doesn't count in this league), most of today's new buyers were too young or may not yet have been born. At any rate, the F-Type has a lot of work to do for the brand beyond just selling itself.
Jaguar testing hardcore F-Type R-S GT?
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Some automakers make a hardcore model, then sit back and revel in its awesomeness. Jaguar does things a little differently. It takes a standard production model, gives it more power, bigger brakes and a tighter suspension and slaps the letter R on it. Then it gives it even more power, even bigger brakes and an even tighter suspension and calls it an R-S. Sometimes the engineers in Coventry don't even think that's enough, so they strip out some weight and dial things up even further and call it an R-S GT.
So far, they've only gone that far with the XK (transformed first into the XKR, then the XKR-S, and finally the XKR-S GT), but with that model on its way out, Jaguar seems to be preparing to give the newer F-Type a similar treatment. Now we can't be sure that what we're looking at is an F-Type R-S GT, especially since the 550-horsepower engine from the XKR-S and XFR-S is already powering the existing F-Type R Coupe, but it does seem to have all the makings of a hardcore performance model.
Compared to the existing F-Type, the development model pictured here has a bigger front splitter (like the one on the Project 7 concept), a big rear wing and a set of what looks like pretty big lightweight alloys. It's also, tellingly, a roadster, which (unlike the coupe) has until now topped out at 500hp with the V8 S model. So while it may be hard to say exactly just what Jaguar has in store for us here (or what they'll call it), one thing's for sure: it's gonna be fast and loud.
2013 Jaguar XF 3.0 Supercharged
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Generally speaking, I don't get too upset about the growing need to replace displacement in modern cars. Sure, there are exceptions (don't you touch my 6.2-liter AMG V8), but honestly, the industry's new forced induction powertrains are all lovely, and their gains in fuel economy - when they actually make good on them - can make up for the ever-so-slight losses in performance or driving character.
But I'm having a hard time keeping my chin up with this Jaguar XF. For the 2013 model year, Jaguar has killed off the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 and fitted a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 with an eight-speed automatic in its place (and even offers a turbocharged four-cylinder engine below that). That all sounds perfectly well and good, but a week behind the wheel of this British Racing Green sedan just left me missing that V8. And then some.
