I purchased this XK8 from a dealer in TX in Feb of 2013 because I thought the body style of the XK8 was cool, and I've never owned a Jag before. The guy (used car dealer) pretty much overstated the condition - "rust free, perfect interior, showroom condition" etc. Well, its not showroom condition and the interior is not perfect. It is, however rust free compared to 16 year old cars that spent their lives in the North East. I ended up having a lot of work done such as; brakes, struts, hood struts, plugs, power steering pump, A/C repair & recharge, transmission, tires, etc., and now I don't think its so cool anymore ;-) I have all the repair receipts.

I had a new stereo put in (CD player, MP-3 input & satellite radio) as it came with only a cassette player. Its a nice, fun driver and everything (now) works. The exterior is "ok" with no sizable dents or scratches - the clear coat is peeling a bit on the mirrors. I have an unused can of high quality clear coat repair from Eastwood Automotive, I'll throw that in. The interior is also just "ok" - the leather on the driver & passenger seats is cracking a bit - the backseat is in excellent condition cuz heck, you couldn't fit anyone in there anyway... My pal who owns a car care business quoted me $300.00 each to recover the front seats with OEM leather - I'll pass... I did, however, have him refinish the wheels - they all look great. It really is a nice-looking car (if you don't look real close) and my son and I get a lot of compliments when we drive it.

Feel free to ask questions or set up an appointment to see that car.

Thanks for looking

Jaguar F-Type meets America in first TV spots

Wed, 15 May 2013

With its new "Your Turn" global ad campaign, Jaguar has introduced its 2014 F-Type to the world of broadcast media. The effort takes aim at the monied 25-54 demographic, which makes sense of Jaguar recently shacking up with the 2013 Playboy Playmate of the Year Raquel Pomplun and San Francisco NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. You'll also be seeing the new roadster on ESPN's SportsCenter, late night ABC talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live, the USA Network show Covert Affairs, the Sundance Channel and theaters, magazines and everywhere digital. On top of all that, a social media campaign includes a contest called #MyTurnToJag that will reward four winners with a custom drive in the new convertible.
You'll find the first two spots below, along with a press release on the roaring red marketing onslaught headed your way.

Jaguar releases Desire short film starring F-Type and Damian Lewis

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

After stoking the hype with a theatrical-style trailer, Jaguar has finally released the full-length version of its mini-movie, Desire, to help kick off the new 2014 Jaguar F-Type. Starring Homeland actor Damian Lewis across from the lovely Shannyn Sossamon, the film has been turned loose on YouTube after an initial debut at the Sundance London film and music festival.
Shot in Chile's rather breathtaking Atacama Desert, Desire is described by the producers as being "A story of betrayal, retribution, passion and greed." Lewis plays the lead role of Clark, a high-end car delivery guy (great work if you can get it), who runs into an unexpected, sexy mystery when shuttling the lovely F-Type to the middle of nowhere. Who could have guessed?
We won't spoil any of the not-exactly-serious 13-minute plot for you; scroll down below to see for yourself if the theatrical pomp and circumstance is worthy of Jag's newest roadster.

Evil Brits star in Jaguar's first-ever Super Bowl commercial

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Chrysler's Imported from Detroit commercial from Super Bowl XLV is one of the most powerful car commercials in recent memory, and Jaguar is taking a similar approach - albeit with a more villainous spin - for its first-ever Super Bowl spot titled Rendezvous. While Chrysler and Eminem focused on hometown cheerleading, Jaguar is using its $8 million (the going rate for a 60-second commercial in this year's game) to play up the Hollywood tradition of typecasting a Brit as the bad guy.
In the spot highlighting the all-new F-Type Coupe, Jaguar looked to director Tom Hooper (the man behind movies like The King's Speech and 2012's Les Misérables), who filmed on location in London with British bad guy actors Mark Strong, Ben Kingsley and Tom Hiddleston. As the commercial implies, Brits make perfect bad guys with their style, sound and power, which are all traits evident in the F-Type.
The commercial will air in the fourth quarter of this Sunday's game, but you can watch it now in the video posted below. Jaguar has also included a press release as well as a second behind-the-scenes video showing how the ad was made.
