I purchased this Jaguar in January of this year, the transmission was failing at that time. The A clutch drum had failed. This is a very common problem with these transmissions. I replaced the A clutch drum, valve body, seals and fluid. Inspected all the clutch packs and pump. I am selling this beautiful car because I have bought a 2008 Pontiac Solstice. Just to many toys. Everything other than the transmission repairs were paid for by the previous owner out in California. He told me that the labor rate out there was $175.00 / Hr and all work was done by a Jaguar dealer. Even the underside of this car looks like new Upon request I can send you a copy of the Carfax that I paid for when I bought the car.
This is a gorgeous 1998 Jaguar XK8 convertible. Beautiful body and black paint, excellent black top and headliner, and very nice original interior with soft cashmere color leather with some wear on the lower out corner of each seat. As seen in the pictures. Sparkling chrome factory wheels with Michelin tires (less than 6,000 miles on them). I am the third owner. I purchased the car 10 months ago from California. Nearly $11,000 in repairs and updates in the last 25,000 miles. Runs and drives well, everything works. This is a great opportunity for a Jaguar enthusiast to get a beautiful and well cared for XK8. Below is a list of the major work done on the car, with mileage and cost. As you can see this car has been well cared for. Miles Task Cost 123560 Overhaul transmission, New front struts, lower control arm bushings, replaced original plastic thermostat housing with new aluminum housing 122300 Four new Michelin tires $1,020.00 115090 Front brakes pads/rotors $1,083.48 112892 Smog check, pass 104653 New HP power steering hose, brake switch $1,302.27 101697 Timing chain tensioner upgrade (lower) $5,341.82 88963 New serpentinem belt, wiper blades $594.98 87637 New heater hoses, Tstat, front/rear brake pads/rotors $2,942.02 70534 Update timing chain tensiner (upper) new fuel pump $2,954.12 67127 Replace alternator $757.76 63740 Brakes, front rotors/pads, misc $630.22 54049 Tires $956.26 50665 Radiator flush, brake flush, serpentine belt $525.09 45235 Brake switch $285.72 40162 Replace wish bone bushings, 40K mile service $1,145.51 33683 Brakes, new front rotors/pads $583.82 28484 30K mile service, detail, new battery $896.61 27221 Flush/replace top fluid N/C As you can see all of the key preventive maintenance important for these cars has been done, from the full timing chain tension upgrade, all the way down to the upgrade fluid for the top hydraulic system. Everything works. There are some minor chips and dings here and there, and the only detractors in the interior are some wear to the outer lower seat backs that can be seen in the pictures. The car is for sale locally as well so the listing could end at any time. |

Jaguar F-Type greets US, shows off range of personalization
Thu, 29 Nov 2012While the debut of the XFR-S is likely fresh on everyone's minds and browser windows, the other big story of late at Jaguar is the F-Type coupe and convertible. Originally unveiled in Paris, the LA show was the first opportunity that the sub-XK performance machine will be seen Stateside. However, it was not just the same news that we first heard in Paris, as Jaguar used LA to showcase its newly available "Black" design pack.
This styling package includes gloss black finishes for the grill surround, side vents, a flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, gloss black interior touches, and instrument panel rings. This package is available with Ultimate Black, Polaris White, Italian Racing Red, Rhodium Silver, Grey and Firesand (seen above) body colors.
The Black pack can be had on either the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 model, or the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 version. Specific additional "Black" tweaks are available based on which derivative you select. Specifically, a gloss-black rear valence is a V6-only modification.
Jaguar releases C-X75 concept build story
Thu, 27 Jun 2013If you want to know what was going through the minds of decisionmakers at Jaguar when the company decided to build the batty C-X75 Concept, look no further than the quick video after the jump. Jaguar set about building a car with the performance of a Bugatti Veyron, the electric range of a Chevrolet Volt and the emissions of a Toyota Prius, and they turned to a legendary engineering firm to help make it happen. Williams, the same crew behind Williams F1, helped Jaguar stitch the concept car together, and the result is unlike anything we've seen before.
The twin-charged 1.6-liter four-cylinder mounted amidship is paired with an electric motor at each wheel for a combined output of over 850 horsepower. And, since the whole chassis is hewn from carbon fiber, a production version would've been light enough to give machines like the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari a run for their money. Shame they apparently couldn't make the business case work. Watch the concept build story in the video below for yourself.
Are you the soon-to-be-revealed Jaguar CUV concept?
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Following the teaser of the Jaguar CX-17 Concept released last weekend, the first official image of the Jaguar crossover concept appears to have hit the Internet ahead of its introduction at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Assuming this is the real deal, the tall, upright front end removes any doubt that this is anything but a preview for the upcoming Jaguar crossover, which will likely be called either the XQ or the Q-Series. Reports suggest that Jag's first-ever CUV is likely to go into production in 2016, and it will bring with it the option for a Jaguar-developed four-cylinder engine replacing the current mills still sourced from former parent Ford.
