Seller Description

JaguarXJ8X[hidden information] 4.0 litre V8
Very clean and original presenting example
This a
very clean presenting XJ8 (X308) sedan finished in silver withblackleather
interior with grey piping.
The car was tradedintous and we know little about it however I have
been having a little fun driving her - taking her out into the countryside -
and have covered some 250 miles without any issues and everything appearing to
work as it should.
The car is a 3 owner from new originally from Illinois and has a very high AutoCheck rating of 76 out of a typical range of 40 to 70 for other Jaguars. This is an excellent report and as such the car is subject to AutoCheck's buy-back guarantee.
It is generally very clean with
only minor scale underneath and small body blemishes. Body is straight and
paint presents very clean. The paint finish is shiny and very clean with only minor
blemishes and overall nice. Exterior cosmetics present extremely well indeed.
Glass, chrome, rubber appear all nice.
Interior is in particularly good condition. The leather is soft and supple without any tears,
scratches or fading and no rips or wear-thru normally seenon the driver
seat bolster. The headliner is good with some drooping over the rear passenger
seat which could be supported with a trim affixed to it and without the need to
replace. No cracks in the dash pad and all the factory wood throughout is good
- there is a fracture in the clear on the door wood.
The whole car has not been cleaned nor detailed in any way and is exactly as it
was traded to us. On one hand, I think we could have thoroughly detailed her
before the pix but on the other, its good to see her "as-is".
Engine idles and powers well. No problems starting cold or hot. Transmission
appears smooth and car brakes well. There are no lights or faults on the dash. Driving, she is very smooth and fine over even
rough surfaces. The car has NOT been mechanically inspected at all so we know
nothing more than my driving her - but I can tell you she has been fun! Tyresare
4 year old Yokohamas with plenty of tread and perform well without any
vibration at any speed. Alloy wheels look clean and tidy. The miles
are certainly genuine.
Engine bay presentsvery clean and tidy. We did not clean it at all and
yet looks nice.
The trunk is very original and is also very clean and tidy with all the carpet
fittings in excellent shape. It has the factory spare, jack and tools.
All electrics work well; all 4 windows, seats, sun-roof and mirrors operating
correctly as does the central locking. The heater works well (including seat heaters) and the AC is
blowing ice cold. All the hallmarks of awell maintained car.
This is everything we know about the car so it is being sold strictly on an
"AS-IS" basis with no warranties or guarantees.
The car overall presents aesthetically very well but is not our cup of tea so
being sold as a true NO RESERVE auction, so highest bidder wins. If you wish to
contact us with an offer, we are happy to discuss. The car is advertised
locally so don't wait until auction end to bid as the listing might
getcancelledearly if a decent offer is received.
Plenty of pictures to review below and at the photo link.

**PLEASE read auction terms and conditions below BEFORE bidding.**~~oo00oo~~This Jaguar is NOT part of a private collection and is a vehicle recently taken in on trade. Although licensed and bonded, I am not a main-stream retail car dealer or broker; I am a professional car collector of some 30 years with considerable experience and knowledge of British cars. I have along standing reputation being associated with the Rolls-Royce marque which I take seriously. I take pride in my cars and have fun in collecting and restoring them. However, auctions are not a game so when you place a bid or offer, and you are the winning bidder, please understand you have entered a binding contract. You cannot bid and win the auction and expect not to meet the terms and conditions. Bidding and/or winning does not mean you are expecting me to “hold” the car until you have the opportunity to inspect it. Any inspection contemplated should be undertaken BEFORE you bid or make an offer and I openly welcome any potential buyer to come and personally inspect the car. Once you bid or make an offer, you are doing so to buy WITHOUT conditions. Your bidcan notbe subject to anything. A $2000.00 deposit (non-refundable) is required within 24 hours of the close of the auction and payable by PayPal. The balance of fundsarerequired within 7 days of the close of the auction and must be provided by cashier’s check or bank wire. I cannot accept PayPal for the balance unless you are willing to meet the cost of transfer fees. Full payment must be made (and payments cleared) before the title and/or the vehicle is released. All payments are non-refundable. Payments as described above form an important part of this purchase contract and so, if all the funds are not received as outlined above, I reserve the right to terminate the transaction without notice. If there has been any deposit or other part payments received and I elect to terminate the contract, I reserve the right to keep any such deposits or payments and resell the vehicle to another bidder or interested party or re-list the vehicle at any time. To be clear, if you change your mind for ANY reason and do not complete the transactioninthe time-frame required, you will forfeit your deposit. I am happy to assist with shipping arrangements on a national and worldwide basis but the winning bidder takes full responsibility for pickup and/or shipping and at his cost.
As a collector and experienced restorer of a range of classic cars, I usually make every effort to bring my cars to a high standard. I did not with this Jaguar as it is exactly as traded.

That said, like most of my cars, by comparison it is superior to others available but they are by no means perfect. You must expect some issues. Unless specifically stated, the car is not of show standard but of nice "driver" condition. Please understand, show cars cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to achieve and sell for prices commensurate, so the sale price of this car reflects its relative condition. You are buying "condition" accordingly. Buyers should not expect to receiveconcoursquality or "perfect" cars at these prices. Please also understand it is not always possible to attend to every item, or perhaps I may have inadvertently overlooked items. Further, and very importantly, these cars are not new. So this means a 20 year oldcar is predominantly comprised of 20 year oldparts. Andoldparts will fail. All buyers must understand and expect that things can or will wear out, break and/or stop functioning without notice. This is even more likely with hand-built English cars of early technology when compared to the typical American car of the same vintage. Suspension and brakes on these cars are complex. We thoroughly check them and replace things that are identified faulty. But please understand,byexample; if we change a brake line because it appears aged or faulty, we do NOT at the same time replace all other hoses because they are of similar age. This is considered "preventative maintenance". We do not do this unless specifically requested and is not included in the purchase price. Feel free to ask for this additional service. Further, a feature or function that is working perfectly one moment, may decide to play-up the next. After all, it is some 20 years old. This is the nature of any used car and especially British cars. For thisreasonit is necessary for the following condition:
The vehicle is being sold "as-is/where-is" with no warranty expressed, written or implied. Any descriptions or representations are made with reasonable judgment and all efforts are made to ensure fair assessment and accuracy but they are for descriptive and identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. The seller shall not be responsible for errors in description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein and makes no warranty in connection therewith. If any aspect of the description contradicts what can be seen in the photos, then the photos shall prevail as the reference point. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, unforeseen imperfection, defect or damage. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have satisfied himself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgment solely. The seller shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects at the buyer’s request prior to the close of the auction. Seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any written or oral statements about the vehicle. Being a classic car in excess of 10 years of age, in mostUSstates, the mileage may be recorded as “exempt”. In this regard the seller makes no warranties as to the accuracy of the mileage indicated or shown. I can hold the vehicle up to 30 days while you arrangeshippingbut you must immediatelyinsureit. I will not bear any responsibility for any additional costs including storage, transportation, or repair after the close of the auction. Whereas I am happy to store the car in excess of 30 days from auction end, a cost of $35 per day shall apply beyond 30 days of auction end. Also, you must remember that this is a 20 year oldvehicle, and while it is up to you, I do not recommend that you just “hop in and drive it across the country” until you have familiarised yourself with the car. At least, I have never done that. I have always professionally transported the cars in enclosed carriers from where I bought themtomy home.PLEASE; IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ABIDE BY THESE TERMS, CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU CONTEMPLATE DOING SO AS, RESPECTFULLY, THERE CAN BE NO EXCEPTIONS.I am sorry if these terms seem harsh but there seem to be some very unrealistic buyers out there - fortunately, onlyfewof these people exist but those that do can make life difficult, so it appears EVERYTHING needs to spelled out. Very simply put, this is an old car being offered for sale. It is not new and is subject to the perils of age. Further, Jaguars are not without nuances, idiosyncrasies and they are renown for a host of design issues which can make them not inexpensive to maintain. So, please respect the terms and conditions when you bid.
