This is a very well taken care of 1998 classic black, on black, on black XK8 Jaguar. The newly replaced motor only has 49k miles on it, and it's very apparent. This cat can get up and go faster than most cars can rev idling and the very clean sophisticated look gives you the best of both worlds; performance and luxury. It has an amazing interior with a solid cherry wood dashboard and genuine black leather. It is an automatic but has the slap-shift manual option to fulfill your feeling of being in complete control-while still ensuring the perfect shift, Every time. Complete with cruise control, traction control and steering wheel controls for audio volume, speed, internal phone functions and more. It has an impressively large trunk, housing a six CD changer with a great sound system made and imported from Germany. It has minor cosmetic wear as any 18 year old would, but it certainly does not take away from this vehicle. This body style will never go away and any Jaguar owner or enthusiast with always agree, it's by far one of the best years in Jaguar history.It has a newly replaced engine, fuel pump, water pump, coolant system, convertible top, along with a new alternator chip for faster acceleration. It has brand new tires and was just tuned up, all coolant, oil, and window washer fluid is new. I have all the receipts. I only run 93 octane premium unleaded gas. Oil changes every 3k miles, new anti-freeze every winter, etc. This car has been well taken care of.
