122,042 Miles. Clean Title. This 2001 Jaguar Vanden Plas has had it's plastic factory secondary timing chain tensioners replaced at a cost of over thirteen hundred dollars. If you buy an XJ-8 or Vanden Plas with a manufacture date prior to September, 2001 and it has not had this modification you are buying a time bomb. Research this on the internet before you buy any Jaguar XJ-8 or Vanden Plas model year 2002 or prior. The Vanden Plas is the top of the line normally aspirated (non-turbo) Jaguar sedan. Some of the upgrades you get on a Vanden Plas include burl walnut trim inlaid with select Peruvian boxwood, fold-out walnut picnic tables mounted on the rear of the front seats and the 320-watt Alpine sound system as standard equipment. A Vanden Plas is not the same as an ordinary XJ-8 sedan. I urge you to research the differences and also the tensioners on the internet and then buy this car. It's the smart thing to do if you want to own a 2001 Jaguar sedan. I am the 3rd owner and I bought the car from a close friend. It has always been well maintained and it has not been troublesome at all. It got a brand new battery last month and I had the headliner replaced because it was starting to droop a bit. This is a car you can drive every day with total confidence.

Autoblog Podcast #339:
Jaguar F-Type coupe to cost more than convertible?
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Jaguar may price the much-rumored F-Type Coupe above the F-Type Convertible, if a report from Australia's Drive is to be believed. What makes Jag think that such a pricing strategy would work? Porsche. Take a look at the German manufacturer's consumer site, and you'll notice that the Boxster is less expensive than the Cayman, despite being essentially the same car.
It's a fair point, and a price premium does a good job of emphasizing the sporting chops of the coupe over the open-air experience that normally entitles convertibles to higher MSRPs. It's unclear just how closely Jaguar will follow Porsche's example, though.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S boast an extra ten horsepower over a Boxster or Boxster S, and while this bump in grunt is negligible in every situation but an argument over which is "best," it isn't something to be ignored in the F-Type, particularly as cranking more power out of its supercharged engines should be a rather simple matter.
Jaguar Land Rover in talks for Southern US factory
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about global expansion, and that means it can't only build its vehicles in the UK anymore. The British automaker is cutting the ribbon at its new plant in China tomorrow, marking the opening of its first factory outside the UK. In 2016, it will open another factory in Brazil. But the latest intel has it that JLR is looking into a US factory, as well.
The report, which comes to us from the Sunday Times by way of Automotive News Europe, indicates that the company is evaluating locations for a North American factory, with options centering around Southern right-to-work states like South Carolina, where BMW operates its plant in Spartanburg and a wide array of other automotive operations are based as well. The JLR plant would reportedly ramp up to a capacity of 200,000 units per year.
In related news, while that new plant JLR is inaugurating in Changshu, China, is initially slated to produce the Range Rover Evoque, it is also expected to start building the new Discovery Sport as well - just like the Halewood plant in the UK that has handled Evoque assembly from the start and which just built its first Discovery Sport, as well.
