Vehicle Detail
I bought this car with some electrical issues. I have cured most of those and it is a running driving car, however it recently stopped starting in park, and hard to be started in neutral. It now won't start in neutral and has been diagnosed a shift assembly issue. I have a replacement shift assembly. This car is best treated as a project car, for the winter, or a daily driver, depending on where you live I guess. Here is the description of the car as I bought it: "> 1997 Jaguar XK8 convertible, rust free, Arden Body Kit and tail > lights, reverse camera, in dash MP3/video player, 20 inch TSW > Thruxton staggered 20x10 rear 20x8.5 front rims, (will soon need tires), custom grill, > Viper alarm, This car is being sold as a project vehicle, it will > need passenger side catalytic converter replaced and it has some > electrical issue's. For the price this car is a great chance to own > a convertible Jag a an affordable price." The car has wear and age/use related marks as you would expect of a 100K+ mile 17 year old car, but presents in good condition and looks, I think, a lot nicer than the bog standard car. I have the original radio and tail lights (but not wheels) and they will be included with the car. Spare wheel is original 5 spoke factory wheel. Mileage is approximate. Clear Virginia title. I cannot attest as to what electrical systems work, and what do not, on the car as I am now unable to start it. As I said, in fairness to prospective buyers, treat the car as a project to go through and see what needs fixing. I make no assurances on any of the systems. I'm not sure that the passenger side cat needs replacing as mentioned above, but I think they're aftermarket anyways. I can say that before the starting issue, two months ago, it started and drove fine. Bear in mind it has been stood for a while outside. KBB values this car around $3500-$4100, depending on zip code, in fair condition. Please ask any questions, request any details/information/extra pictures before bidding. The pictures in the listing form part of the description, please look carefully. NO warrantee is implied or given. Sold AS IS. Inspections welcome. I don't have the time or space for the car now, and don't want it stood outside for the winter. It's time for her to go to a new home, now the hard work's done...!

Contact me if you want me to confirm the buy it now feature on here please. On Nov-03-14 at 22:49:46 PST, seller added the following information: *from above, "had to be started in neutral, not hard to be started etc.... Not sure what's going on with Ebay item revision, can't get in to change mistakes, only add to description. Message me with any questions. Mileage approximate as unable to get to odometer through starting check procedure... On Nov-06-14 at 16:44:49 PST, seller added the following information: Update 11/06/2014. There have been a couple of questions about how old the pictures are, so more pictures added, taken this morning. They were grabbed quickly on my phone, but show the car in it's current state. You can see the damage to the driver's seat, and a couple parking dings on driver's door and a couple marks on rear bumper. Sorry car is damp but wanted to get pictures on quickly. Please ask me if you need any further pictures. Again, I'm selling this as a project car to be fair to all prospective buyers, so please do your due diligence and ask any questions. No warrantee is implied or given but any inspection is welcome before the end of the auction. I tried to list this with a $2850 buy it now. It's not showing up in the auction but if you want me to re-list it as a buy it now only, I will.
