THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION AND THIS ITEM WILL SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER REGARDLESS OF PRICE SO DO NOT BID IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BUY!!! The mileage of the car is as stated 18,500 Miles. If you ask me if it's the original mileage you will not get a response. This car is original in every respect and has never been repainted or damaged in any way. The top is a dark NAVY BLUE. It's been garage kept since new and has spent all of it's time in Florida until last summer when we brought it to Cape Cod where it's been garaged and driven very little as well. We're the second owners and we purchased the car from a very close family friend who had passed away several years ago, but we never drive it and now need the space in the garage more than we need an extra car. The car is pristine in all respects and the winning bidder will not be disappointed. Considering the cars age and low mileage, This is as nice a car as you could ever hope to buy without purchasing a brand new one for $100,000. The only difference between this car and a NEW one is about $70,000. Don't sit on the fence and ponder this one. It's outstanding. Please see the window sticker for details about the car's options. BIDDINGPlease do not bid if you don't want to own this car. Buyer pays actual shipping costs and insurance if requested. Seller reserves the right to void sale in the event of any retracted bidding, unorthodox bidding practices or slow payment. THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION AND THIS CAR WILL SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER REGARDLESS OF PRICE SO DO NOT BID IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BUY!!! Q: Hello, I was looking at the photo's and noticed that there is a yellowish line on the left side of the center benzel(just left of the monitor that states Jaguar) is this a photo defect or is it a defect on the wooden benzel? Thankyou A: Not sure what you are really referring to but there are no scratches or defects and you must be seeing a photo reflection or something. is this line horizontal or vertical? Feel fee to contact me to discuss via phone or I will supply another photo if I have one. Please read other Q&A's . IN GENERAL, WHEN SELLING ON EBAY I WOULD DISCLOSE ANY DEFECTS IF I THOUGH THEY ME BE OF ANY INTEREST OR CONCERN. I'M NOT LOOKING FOR ANY POST SALE ISSUES WHATSOEVER. When I sell a car on EBay I take good pictures and disclose any issue and sell NO RESERVE and start at a ONE DOLLAR. I never want anyone to bid if they're not comfortable bidding. Having said that, I'm also not interested in selling a used car to someone that compares it to a new one on a showroom floor. I just like to be brutally honest and not encourage bids from people not comfortable with the process. I hope you understand.Q: 2 questions 1. any dings, dents, imperfections? back bumber in pics looks like it does have some scrapes, etc. 2. is paypal a must? would fed ex dep and pick up with cash but not using paypal. no sweat if you are adamant. let me know tx A: I dated a woman who could find fault in an uncirculated coin and since I don't know you or your real expectations when you ask if there are any imperfections, I hesitate to say anything is void of imperfections. What I will say is that the car is exactly what one would HOPE to get if they were buying a garage kept eight year old car with 18,000+ miles on it. If it had a dent anywhere I would be less than honest to not disclose it. Beyond that payment can always be worked out one way or another. I'm flexible about most everything. Remember nowhere does it say this is a NEW car but it is in spectacular condition. I just don't want to have a problem if you were to be the winning bidder and expected to be picking up a new car. Any imperfections on this car would have to be so insignificant and could not be photographed or seen in any photograph. Please understand I am only trying to be brutally honest to avoid any issues that might arise.Q: DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW OF A RELIABLE AUTO SHIPPING COMPANY I COULD USE IF I BUY THIS BEAUTIFUL JAG --- I LIVE IN NORTHWEST INDIANA -- THANKS, GEORGE -- A: Yes. There are many of good ones.Q: Is the top blue or black A: BLUEQ: Is there financing available on this car I am buying one for my wife as a surprise for 50th b-day A: Contact your bank. I'm sure they'll loan you the money if your credit is good.Q: The description suggests that this is an XKR '100', but I cannot find it on other documentation that your provide. Is this indeed a '100'? Thanks! A: I don't even know what a 100 is. Please tell me how I suggested that it was? Please read the review below. This will tell you more that I ever wanted to know about the car. By Jim FlammangCars.comMarch 27, 2002 A limited-edition “100” version of the sleek, rear-wheel-drive XK coupe and convertible is new for 2002 and commemorates the 1902 birth of the late William Lyons, founder of Jaguar. Succeeding last year’s Silverstone models, the limited-edition XKR 100 coupe and convertible feature 20-inch BBS modular wheels, Brembo brakes, Connolly Autolux Recaro seats and Anthracite paint. Only 300 models will be offered in the United States, and only 30 of those will be coupes. Jaguar last redesigned its XK coupe and convertible for the 1997 model year and dubbed them XK8 to denote the V-8 engine that replaced the former six-cylinder. A supercharged XKR version arrived in 2000. The XK8 uses a 4.0-liter V-8 power plant that develops 290 horsepower. The supercharger boosts the ante to 370 hp in the XKR. The legendary British Jaguar organization is now part of Ford’s Premier Automotive Group, which also includes Aston Martin, Land Rover and Volvo. The styling, platforms and engines are designed and manufactured strictly by Jaguar, which is headquartered in Coventry, England. A considerable amount of handcrafting still goes into their assembly, and Jaguars compete against such costly European marques as BMW and Mercedes-Benz. In recent years, the Ford connection has had a positive impact on construction details, which dramatically reduced the quality problems that plagued Jaguars of the more distant past. But sales have dropped sharply. During 2001, Jaguar sold 5,137 XK8/XKR models in the United States, down from 6,729 units tallied in 2000, according to Automotive News. Exterior Sensual and alluring in any form, the projectile-shaped XK body is comparatively tame in the XK8 trim, though its basic appearance harks back to the stylish Jaguar XK-E sports cars of the 1960s. The XKR adds a functional louvered hood, rear spoiler, and 18-inch wheels and tires, instead of the usual 17-inchers. It is also equipped with Jaguar’s Computer Active Technology Suspension, which features computer-controlled shock absorbers that adjust ride firmness according to changes in the vehicle’s speed and road conditions. The XKR sports a wire mesh grille instead of the usual bar design. The convertible has a power soft-top and a glass rear window with a defogger, and all models have headlight washers. Interior These Jaguar models are theoretically capable of holding four occupants; inreality, however, they’re 2+2 models and suitable for only two passengers. Backseat riders would have to be the size of a child or have legs no bigger than twigs in order to fit comfortably. Even the fortunate pair up front can expect to employ a certain level of dexterity when climbing in and out of the low-slung XK8/XKR, and space is at a premium once they’re seated. Once inside, passengers can enjoy the lush Connolly leather and abundant wood trim that decorates the Jag’s cockpit. Like their XKR counterparts, XK8 coupes and convertibles have heated front seats and a premium Alpine Audiophile audio system with a six-CD changer. Jaguar’s navigation system is standard in the XKR and optional in the XK8. Under the Hood Jaguar’s 4.0-liter dual-overhead-cam V-8 engine produces 290 hp in the regular XK8 coupe and convertible. Stepping up to the XKR brings a supercharged edition of that engine, which churns out 370 hp. A five-speed-automatic transmission is used on all models, but they’re different units: The XK8 transmission is built by the German firm ZF, and the XKR unit is manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. Safety During the 2001 model year, Jaguar’s Adaptive Restraint Technology System (ARTS) was added to the XK8, which includes head and thorax side-impact airbags mounted in the front-seat backrest cushions. Deployment is based on input from a group of sensors that determine whether occupants are in position and belted. Ultrasonic sensors in the roof pillars and overhead console also provide signals to help gauge the deployment level. Traction control and all-disc antilock brakes are standard. A Reverse Park Control feature emits a warning when you approach an obstacle while backing up. Driving Impressions Heritage counts, especially when it comes to British-built motorcars. Even if performance lags behind some competitive sports cars, driving a Jag ranks as a sensual and memorable experience. Simply knowing that you’re cocooned in such a lusciously shaped vehicle adds to the satisfaction. An appealing assortment of luxuries and conveniences makes up for a few drawbacks — including high sticker prices. The Jaguar’s modern V-8 engine comes in regular or supercharged form. Both deliver a high level of refinement, gentility and impressive acceleration, even if they’re not the fastest cars of their kind. Those who crave a greater degree of raw speed can step up to a supercharged XKR, while fanciers of low-volume models have the commemorative XKR 100 for this season only. Handling has always been a Jaguar strong point, even if it’s still categorized more as a “boulevard” sports car than a racetrack-ready model. On the other hand, if you drive an XK on a track, you’re likely to be impressed with its talents through curves and dips when moving at high speeds. Although the ride can get a bit jittery on rough pavement, the suspension is beautifully absorbent on most highway surfaces. The XK8 convertible looks snug at first glance, but it offers a reasonable amount of room for front-seat occupants. Unfortunately, the rear seat is tiny — even for children.
