Fantastic luxury ride completely made of aluminium. This makes it lighter and stronger than comparable cars from Mercedes and BMW. The size of an S class or 7 series but with weight like E class or 5 series. This contributes to better fuel economy and performance, 0-60 in 6.3 Sec
New suspension including all stuts/springs and most bushing and control arms. This is a 5,000 job. If you buy one that still has air suspension the air bags will eventually start to leak and you may not be able to drive the car home. Hence this is a security and reliability issue. My car has standard coil springs today. Also new cars that sit break and they are occasionally changing air suspension/struts/bags on cars that are only 2-3 years old!
The Air suspension on these cars is the single most expensive thing to repair and the rubber just starts to leak after about 6 years. Each air strut cost over $1000 each + labor at the dealer. On this car the Air springs and air compressor system has been replaced with a new coil spring conversion kit. This will last the life of the car.
Made out of Aluminium bonded together with aerospace-grade epoxy adhesives while around 3,200 self-piercing rivets are used to create the new XJ's unibody.

Charcoal on black is the best color combo and dark interiors keep up much better than light interiors
Compare to BMW 7 series and Mercedes S500. they are made of heavy iron that rust
Compare to Audi A8. The Audi is a very nice car but has a sensitive timing belt that could ruin the engine if it brakes. The jaguar has a double chain that need no maintenance.
Car has no check Engine light or any warning. The items that may need attention are; 1, Sunroof does not open, the rail is damaged or need adjustment. I understand this is common. 2, two spots are fading on the roof due to the FL sun. 3, leaks a little bit of oil from front crank seal just top off oil or my mechanic says it is about 500 to fix.

Jaguar F-Type Project 7 arrives Stateside for $135k*
Thu, 14 Aug 2014There are a great many things we love about the Jaguar F-Type, but one of them is that, whatever price point you're looking at, there's an F-Type for you. (Well, not any price point... this is a Jag we're talking about, but pricing varies greatly.) Got $65k to spend? That'll get you into a base F-Type V6 coupe, and you'll likely be happy for it. Eighty grand will get you into an F-Type V6 S, $90k into a V8 S roadster, and a cool hundred grand will get you the top-of-the-line F-Type R coupe. But what if you want to spend more than that? What if you've got more like $165,000 in your pocket and it's burning a hole when it should be burning rubber?
Well we've got good news for you, friend, because that's exactly how much the exclusive F-Type Project 7 will set you back. Making its US debut during Monterey car week, Jaguar has announced that the most exclusive version of its two-seat sports car - revealed in production spec just recently at the Goodwood Festival of Speed - will cost $165k in the US (plus the standard $925 delivery charge). That's roughly the price of an F-Type R and a base F-Type V6.
For all that scratch, you get an open-top roadster with 575 horsepower on tap - more than any production road car Jaguar has ever made before, and that includes the XJ220 and ultra-rare XJR-15 supercars. The most potent version yet of Jaguar's ubiquitous and long-serving 5.0-liter supercharged V8 is enough to send Project 7 to 60 in 3.8 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 186 miles per hour.
Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."
Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant
Sat, 24 Nov 2012While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.
