1989 Jaguar Xjs V12 Convertible Shamokin Pa 17866 $4500 on 2040-cars
Shamokin, Pennsylvania, United States
1989 Jaguar XJS V12 convertible. Blue with blue leather. 62,000 miles. I bought this car with the intention of keeping it forever, but, here it is. Originally owned by an insurance company in Albany New York, sold to an attorney in Albany, then sold to an attorney that lives near me. The prior owner let it sit for 4 years, I bought it, it wouldn't start. I got it going, NICE, it runs smooth, but you can't drive it around because of the power steering leak, and, the brakes. It does drive creamy smooth, you need to feel that, a V12 is incredible. Well, here's a list of good and bad.
GOOD VERY early factory convertible, build date June 1988 Brand new oil and filter, 10.5 quarts New distributor New pick up coil in distributor New rotor Included but not installed, new front brake pads A Convertible!\ Leather Wood 62,000 miles Convertible top is perfect Body is shiny, no rust, hood is a bit dull Rear of body and trunk vern nice as far as rust goes It's now an ANTIQUE BAD High pressure power steering hose leaking and needs replaced Brake pads needed on front, ALL 4 CALIPERS MAY BE FROZEN, driving the car may free them up. It still moves forward in D with no gas pedal Flooorboards are RUSTED THROUGH. There is a hole by the driver's and passenger's feet. Driver's side is worse Wires were chewed by mice. Still to be fixed... alternator needs wire hooked up to D+ terminal, Coolant sensor needs connected. Cruise control was brittle and broke off. There are loose wire on both sides of the trunk. One side may be a home security system, the other factory towing hook up. There may be other wires to attend to, I don't know Top is leaking hydraulic fluid and doesn't go down, I didn't look at it yet, there is a manual bypass switch. Console wood is very bad, dash wood is OK Hood and trunk struts need replaced Leather is worn, but, I have seen much worse The biggest problem is the power steering hose, it leaks right out. I am working on that now, but selling the car will eliminate that problem...for me. There may be other problems, it is a 25 year old Jaguar, I am being brutally honest, I would prefer you looked the car over with me. Cash only, please, that's what I paid, no checks, no Money Orders, no anything, even if you become my best buddy. Cash only, PLEASE. Since this is PA, we must also go to a notary to sign the title. $4500, or make offer. Please call 570 898 1992 |

Jaguar demanding customer data from reluctant dealers
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
Nearly every major business is collecting consumer data these days, and keeping that data secure has come to the forefront of many customer's minds. Jaguar Land Rover North America's decision to begin requesting more customer info from its dealer network appears unfortunately timed, however. If it had come a few years ago, it might have been ignored, but in today's climate of heightened awareness, a few dealers are pushing back. To put the showrooms in an even tougher position, JLR NA is threatening to deny quarterly incentives if they do not turn over the customer data, according to Automotive News.
JLR NA instated the nationwide plan, which it calls Single View CRM, on February 7, but according to Stuart Schorr, Jaguar Land Rover North America Vice President of Communications, the automaker has been negotiating with its dealers to institute the new program for over a year. Schorr tells Autoblog that no financial information is being shared, noting that such data is limited to customer details, including things like what vehicles they own and whether they have any pending service. The initiative is meant to "improve customers' and owners' engagement with the brand," he said. Also, the company is not accessing dealer data itself; instead showrooms are asked to enter the info into JLR's database.
Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars
Wed, 25 Sep 2013The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.
London skyscraper caught melting cars
Tue, 03 Sep 2013A new skyscraper under construction in London is apparently to blame for some mysteriously melting car parts on the city's surrounding streets. The 37-story building at 20 Fenchurch Street, nicknamed the "Walkie Talkie" for how it looks, features a convex side of glass windows that apparently concentrates the sun's rays like a kid with a magnifying glass. Instead of smiting ants, however, the building was caught focusing its sun-sourced laser death beam on an innocent Jaguar XJ parked on Eastcheap street. The intense heat managed to melt a sideview mirror, plastic C-pillar cover and Jaguar emblem (scroll down for an image of the damage).
Fortunately, the construction company, Land Securities, had some scruples and reportedly left a note on the car for its owner reading "Your car's buckled, could you give us a call?" They've also since apologized and agreed to pay for the £946 done - about $1,500 - in damages by their blazing hot building. A joint statement with the Canary Wharf district in which the building's located was also released. In it, the developer acknowledges concerns about the reflected light and says it's looking into the matter. The city has also decided to close a few parking bays that could be in the building's line of fire, so to speak, until a solution can be engineered. Since news of the melting Jag broke, other vehicle owners have also come forward claiming the building, re-nicknamed the "Walkie Scorchie," has damaged their cars, as well.
This isn't the first shiny-new-building-attacks-cars story we've heard - architect Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles was built amidst concern that its polished ribbons of stainless steel were blinding motorists and causing accidents, along with raising the temperatures of nearby buildings with its reflected light. The building's surfaces were later given a matte polish.
