2000 Jaguar Xk8 Base Coupe 2-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Rockwall, Texas, United States
|
Named "ONE OF THE 10 MOST BEAUTIFUL VEHICLES EVER BUILT" by Motor Trend Magazine. This elegant coupe is one of only approximately 1800 to ever come to the States. It is easy to see that this beauty has been pampered from day 1. In addition, I had a well known Jaguar dealer fully service the car. Being a perfectionist, I then had an award winning shop set up the car for her next 100,000 miles. To sell a great car like this one, I think you should know the seller somewhat as well. I have had a great love for cars and trucks for over 60 years. Since 1982, I have built, customized, or restored 657 fine cars, trucks and SUV's. I have 6 cars in national museums. A Chevy SSR I built was named BEST IN THE WORLD by the General Motors team that actually designed the car for Chevrolet. I built a series of 25 commemorative vehicles as a tribute to my friend, automotive genius, Don Yenko. I am the only builder ever to have two cars featured in a single issue of Car Restomod Annual. In brief, I love cars and believe in striving for perfection. Please have a look at my website just to give you a better idea as to the car I offer now. yenko-wildfire.net This is a nice Jaguar!!! I wanted the car as close to new as possible. I had them perform all things preventative, including struts, shocks, knock sensors, wheel bearings, brakes, transmission, differential, and a thorough tuneup including plugs and wires. In short, I call it my 84 point inspection and correction of all things mechanical, electrical, functional and safety oriented. After all things were upgraded or completed, I am able to include a 36 month/unlimited mileage warranty through CARS. This Ultra-rare and pampered piece of rolling art has only 98,854 actual miles or less than 6800 miles per year! This car is the final descendant of the legendary E-Type and features Jaguars first use of an incomparable V8 engine with just under 300 HP. The power is there. The handling is exhilirating and in my latest 2400 mile "test drive", I got 24.9 mpg AND that's with my lead foot. The major negative for this vaunted speciman is that it may take up to 10 minutes to fill the gas tank........3 minutes to fill it and 7 minutes to field comments and questions from interested parties. A hoot to drive and ready for the road course or concourse. Lovely piece of road art that you won't pass on the highway like your Corvette, Mercedes or BMW. A very realistic reserve lets you own this wonderful car for well under its true value and its neo-classic increasing value. Glad to answer your inquiries at 814-229-3402 or billrea33@comcast.net The car resides most of the time near Dallas, Tx. Shipping is possible. I reserve the right to end the auction early, as I am advertising the car locally. The first person to see and drive her will definitely be the next owner. |

2013 Jaguar XF 2.0T
Fri, 10 May 2013Jaguar is moving to modernize its XF engine lineup - once the exclusive territory of V8 mills - with a range including a turbo four, a supercharged six and supercharged V8s of various potencies. Personally, I'll miss the combination of this smooth looking and driving XF sedan, and the lazy power of the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter engine, even if the super six has earned some praise in other applications.
The truth is that the four, six, eight lineup for the XF makes a lot of sense, and this 2.0T version of the sedan is far better than I expected it to be. In fact, there's a legitimate argument to be made for it as the XF that works the best for the largest group of customers. Here's why:
Driving Notes
Jaguar readying a pop-top F-Type Coupe? [w/poll]
Mon, 17 Feb 2014Typically convertibles are spun off of coupes, but sometimes it goes the other way. Like the Porsche Cayman that was based on the Boxster, the Lotus Exige spun off of the Elise, and the Jaguar F-Type, which arrived as a roadster before the coupe debuted. But if the latest reports are to be believed, Jaguar could be planning something in between.
According to Auto Express (which has, mind you, been known to stretch the rumors out some), Jaguar is toying with the idea of offering a partial convertible version of the F-Type - something Porsche would call a Targa (and which we would too if Stuttgart weren't so litigiously protective of the name). The additional roof configuration would give the F-Type three body-styles, giving its customers more choices.
It wouldn't be the only sports car to offer three roof options: There's the Porsche 911, of course. Ferrari once offered GTB, GTS and Spider versions of the 348 and 355. The Chevy Corvette has been offered in all three forms, as was the Pontiac Solstice many moons ago. But that kind of variety in roof configurations has become scarce. Jaguar's decision reportedly depends on whether it can make the business case or not. Do you think there'd be enough demand for a lift-roof F-Type?
Jaguar ousts Lexus from atop J.D. Power 2013 Sales Satisfaction Index
Mon, 18 Nov 2013Jaguar has taken the top spot among luxury brands in the 2013 Sales Satisfaction Index, an annual survey conducted by J.D. Power that measures customer satisfaction with the experience of purchasing a new vehicle. The English brand, not even among the top three luxury automakers on the list last year, vaulted ahead of Lexus, which placed third this year after leading the list in 2011 and 2012. Porsche, meanwhile, moved into second place.
The rankings are based on a point score out of 1,000, with Jaguar earning 740 points, Porsche right behind with 739 and Lexus with 737. Volvo, meanwhile, made the biggest improvement among luxury brands with a 30-point jump to 708, bring it up from 11th place to 9th this year.
J.D. Power has a separate ranking for mass-market brands, and this year Mini again tops the list with a score of 718, far outpacing second-place Buick with a score of 694 and making it the fourth time Mini has lead this list. After Buick, the next two ranked brands are both American and both from General Motors, with Chevrolet and GMC sharing third place with a score of 686.
