Vehicle Description
This is 1998 Jaguar it is in overall very good condition.We now have two small children and would rather have a minivan or something that is easier to carry children in instead.My wife and i have enjoyed this car which is quite exceptional.Now i will get into specifics about the car.I removed the fuse that operates the sunroof so if you need to put back in thats ok.I also noticed that the display has been warning me about the traction control.I went to my mechanic and told he me that if i am going to stay here in the southerm california area that i would not need to repair that the car performs perfect it is only useful on icy roads. there is a hairline crack in the windshield.I just recently replaced all four rotors and brakes so you have new brakes and four brand new tires too.the paint is in overall good condition for a ten year old car but a nice detail would really put it over the top.the drivers seat shows some wear but that is normal.the car gets great fuel economy considering the size of the engine and the performance.the car of course is all leather interior.If you really want a lot of car for not a lot of money you can own a 68,000 car for the fraction of the price.everything on the car is original factory except for the tires i just replaced.The transmission is as smooth as it should be absolutely flawless.the engine is strong and responsive. the car has a new jersey title.I did not drive the car from new jersey it was flatbed towed i did not want to put all those miles on the car.the car has had all the warranty work done by jaguar including repalcement of the throttle body that was recalled by jaguar and\ they fixed for free no charge.Air conditioner works like ice cold!with climate control even for rear passengers,I believe i am the second owner the car was originally from ohio and i bought it in pittsburg PA in 2005.there is a small ding in one of the rear tail lamps that you have to look really hard to notice.no major accidents or dents or repairs done.also this is a non smoker's car ,it also has the premium Harman Kardon soundsystem with disc changer in the trunk ,also has programmable garage door opener.The car has only used mobil1 synthetic oil only the best.please look at the pictures and if you have any questions please use the ebay message system i will respond very quickly i am at home if you would like to come for a test drive please bring valid drivers licence.or you will not drive.there will be a 500.00 non refundable deposit.

Here is a review of this car made by the experts too. Which i happen to agree with.
XJ Reviews
Introduction
The history of Jaguar sedans is punctuated with high and low points. Highs include a masterful blend of ride quality and handling, all trimmed in fine wood and leather. Lows were chronic reliability problems. Jaguar owners loved their cars--when they weren't in the shop. Only time will prove the reliability of Jaguar's latest generation of sedans, but lately their track record has been exemplary.
Based on our experience, the XJ8 represents the highest point in Jaguar's history. We think it's one of the finest luxury sedans built today.
As the XJ8 designation suggests, this is a V8-powered Jag. The V12 and inline 6-cylinder engines have been dropped and we don't miss them because the new 4.0-liter V8 is a sweetheart.
Jaguar's XJ8 is available in four versions: the $54,750 XJ8, the $59,750 long wheelbase XJ8L, the even more luxurious $63,800 Vanden Plas, and the $67,400 supercharged XJR. Those prices compare favorably to those of the $66,640 BMW 740iL and the $74,495 Mercedes-Benz S420.
Our test car was a Vanden Plas, named for a famous British maker of custom automobile bodies.
And finally here is the value of the car this should help you bid accordingly. Also retieved from The NADA used car guide national recognized and respected publication.
