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.
