The Amazing Jaguar XJR, 1997 Sedan.VEHICLE CONDITION:THIS CAR IS NEARLY PERFECT CONDITION. The exterior, I have to say, is practically flawless.The paint job is EXCEPTIONALLY MINT. Only the tiniest scuff can be seen on the front bumper, the rest of the finish is superb and practically glows with a fine midnight blue-black shine. I love hand washing it and it has definitely been well taken care of! Pride of ownership throughout. The interior, although it is less than mint condition, it is still totally clean, well taken care of and fully functioning. It has some slight signs of wear on the seats (minimal) and part of the headliner is bowed, but the rest of the interior is still in perfect, nice working condition and it looks absolutely great. Tires have 75% tread still left on them and the rims are in excellent condition. ALL FEATURES FUNCTION WELL, COLD AC, RESPONSIVE NEWER BRAKES, LOUD ALARM SYSTEM, EXCEPTIONAL STEREO, POWER EVERYTHING, IT ALL WORKS AS IT SHOULD AND IS IN GREAT CONDITION.

I have 57K on original brakes and they still look good for another 20K. Both my BMW's and Mercedes ate brakes about ever 20-25K.

Bells and whistles galore! Everything works just exactly as it should too, so be excited, you are getting a great vehicle. Now, as an independent Jaguar XJR owner myself, I am here to tell you that this is by far MY FAVORITE CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. Offered today for sale to the highest bidder in a 7 day auction that ends NEXT SATURDAY, July 19, 2014 at 1pm with ABSOLUTELY NO RESERVE!!!TO THE LUCKY WINNER AND NEXT OWNER OF THIS XJR: "I purchased this car directly from an expert certified Jaguar mechanic who took excellent care of her and replaced the motor with an all OEM new v-6 supercharger as well as all new associated fuel injection system parts for a superior drive PLUS ADDITIONAL GAS MILEAGE PERKS. Mileage on the motor is only 55,000 miles, actual car stated miles on the frame is still at a low 110,552 miles." He said to me when I bought this Jaguar: "Please, TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER! She will be sorely missed!" So, I ask you to do the same and I know you will!On Jul-15-14 at 19:48:27 PDT, seller added the following information: AN IMPORTANT NOTE TO ALL BUYERS: this car had the original motor swapped out for a newer one, with less miles and was also done for maximum fuel efficiency, so the entire air intake system was also matched up to the new straight 6 inline motor (without the supercharger). All Jaguar OEM parts were used. All work was done by a certified Jag mechanic who happened to be the previous owner and I have to say, this car DOESN'T KNOW IT ISN'T A SUPERCHARGER. It rides as fast as you will ever want to comfortable go, and it gets there in a jiffy, without extra fuel consumption or any loss of so called power. Quieter too! I hope that clears it up on the supercharger question. The Amazing Jaguar XJR, 1997 Sedan.VEHICLE CONDITION:THIS CAR IS NEARLY PERFECT CONDITION.

On Jul-17-14 at 13:46:19 PDT, seller added the following information: Note to all buyers: I've attempted to update this listing several times now, hopefully this one gets posted as there is a slight error in the details list state above. I need to inform you that I mistakenly put "inline v-6" when in fact it was supposed to say "OEM Inline 6 cylinder" without the supercharger. This new motor has only 55,000 miles on it and was installed by the previous owner who was a certified Jaguar mechanic. All associated air intake parts were likewise replaced with matching new parts to give it an outstanding performance driving while maximizing the car's gas mileage. This newer Jaguar Inline 6 motor, which, has all the power you will ever need from a car with THE ADDED BONUS OF MAXIMUM FUEL EFFICIENCY is an incredible work of machinery! This newer motor is much easier on the wallet for everyday fuel mileage costs and you will be thanking me at the pump for sure! So, does this car notice that it no longer has a supercharger? NO IT SURE DOESN'T, for it is as fast as fast can be and hold on to your hats because this one starts off fast and drives like it is gliding on air. If you like to drive every bit as much as I do, don't hesitate to get yourself one of these beauties, but this one happens to be fuel efficient as well!The Amazing Jaguar XJR, 1997 Sedan.VEHICLE CONDITION:THIS CAR IS NEARLY PERFECT CONDITION.

Can't believe it took me this long to buy a Jaguar, I'm never going back to anything else!_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________Well, you've heard it straight from the "horse's mouth" with those reviews and WOW, what a car! Bells and whistles galore! Everything works just exactly as it should too, so be excited, you are getting a great vehicle. Now, as an independent Jaguar XJR owner myself, I am here to tell you that this is by far MY FAVORITE CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. Offered today for sale to the highest bidder in a 7 day auction that ends NEXT SATURDAY, July 19, 2014 at 1pm with ABSOLUTELY NO RESERVE!!!TO THE LUCKY WINNER AND NEXT OWNER OF THIS XJR: "I purchased this car directly from an expert certified Jaguar mechanic who took excellent care of her and replaced the motor with an all OEM new v-6 supercharger as well as all new associated fuel injection system parts for a superior drive PLUS ADDITIONAL GAS MILEAGE PERKS. Mileage on the motor is only 55,000 miles, actual car stated miles on the frame is still at a low 110,552 miles." He said to me when I bought this Jaguar: "Please, TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER! She will be sorely missed!" So, I ask you to do the same and I know you will! On Jul-15-14 at 19:48:27 PDT, seller added the following information: AN IMPORTANT NOTE TO ALL BUYERS: this car had the original motor swapped out for a newer one, with less miles and was also done for maximum fuel efficiency, so the entire air intake system was also matched up to the new straight 6 inline motor (without the supercharger). All Jaguar OEM parts were used. All work was done by a certified Jag mechanic who happened to be the previous owner and I have to say, this car DOESN'T KNOW IT ISN'T A SUPERCHARGER. It rides as fast as you will ever want to comfortable go, and it gets there in a jiffy, without extra fuel consumption or any loss of so called power. Quieter too! I hope that clears it up on the supercharger question.The Amazing Jaguar XJR, 1997 Sedan.VEHICLE CONDITION:THIS CAR IS NEARLY PERFECT CONDITION. The exterior, I have to say, is practically flawless.The paint job is EXCEPTIONALLY MINT. Only the tiniest scuff can be seen on the front bumper, the rest of the finish is superb and practically glows with a fine midnight blue-black shine. I love hand washing it and it has definitely been well taken care of! Pride of ownership throughout. The interior, although it is less than mint condition, it is still totally clean, well taken care of and fully functioning. It has some slight signs of wear on the seats (minimal) and part of the headliner is bowed, but the rest of the interior is still in perfect, nice working condition and it looks absolutely great. Tires have 75% tread still left on them and the rims are in excellent condition. ALL FEATURES FUNCTION WELL, COLD AC, RESPONSIVE NEWER BRAKES, LOUD ALARM SYSTEM, EXCEPTIONAL STEREO, POWER EVERYTHING, IT ALL WORKS AS IT SHOULD AND IS IN GREAT CONDITION.

So, if you are the shy, reserved type this car probably wont do since there is not a day that goes by when I drive this car that people don't stop to comment on how beautiful she is! I've met dozens of new people just by parking at the grocery stores and having folks stop me to comment on this car, saying things like "What a beautiful car!" and " I've got one of these beauties at home myself" and "Wow! Is that a Rolls Royce?!" (lol) and my favorite from a little boy, "I love your car, will you marry me?" It is definitely a social "ice breaker" whether you like that perk or not, : )This car is so much fun to drive too, a real pleasure, smooth, like it is gliding over the pavement, responsive, quick acceleration, really powerful get up and go for sure! You can beat any hot rod out the gate with this performance driven ride! I enjoy my everyday errands ten times more when I get to drive the Jag. SO WHAT DO THE OTHER 1997 JAGUAR XJR DRIVER'S HAVE TO SAY?FOUR INDEPENDENT REVIEWS (FOUND AT: EDMUNDS.COM) FROM THE OWNERS THEMSELVES:#1) KING of the RoadBy Jeff on 02/15/10 03:09 AM (PST) OWNER OF 1997 Jaguar XJR 4dr SedanReview Being in the auto industry for over 25 years I did my research on this purchase, searched for 2 years for this beauty. You cannot find a better combination of style, class and performance out there for the buck. Replaced exhaust system with a stainless steel one i.e. mina, borla. Yoko's are the best tire. Get a radar detector! Favorite FeaturesThe stock HK stereo is out of this world._______________________________________________________________________________#2) Great CarBy EricXJR37 on 12/06/13 05:12 AM (PST) OWNER OF A 1997 Jaguar XJR 4dr SedanReviewIt's a beautiful car no doubt, it drives like a dream, for the 4.0L supercharged motor it's not really hard on gas I'd say I get 25 mpg . It's a real head turner, the 17 inch rims are nice for and stock rim from the dealer, I like the CD changer since it is easy to put 6 of my favorite cd's into the disc changer and listen to a variety of my favorite music all at the touch of a button.Favorite FeaturesPerformance , Luxury comfort, LOOKS are incredible, Supercharged in-line 6 way better on gas than a v12.________________________________________________________________________________ #3) XJR Luxury rocket by klet on Dec 15, 2012 Vehicle: 1997 Jaguar XJRthis car not only turns heads,but leaves the the competition behind. very very very fast!!! i am always with smile on my face when i drive this car, it is the best kept secret around!!! _______________________________________________________________________________#4) How come know one talks by HateGermanBrakes on Sep 16, 2002 Vehicle: 1997 Jaguar XJRIt'a rocket in hiding. If a BMW 540 owner ever had this car, he would be bragging about his V-8. Power is amazing at 322 HP. New Mods (V8's) have higher HP 370 but about the same same torque. Had many other HP luxury cars. This one has power is better than BMW's 540, or Mercedes 430 or Lexus 400 series. Reliability has been better than average for me. Brakes are way better than any any german car.
