Morgantown, PA
Description:
2000 Jaguar XJ8 Sedan From the 2000 Jaguar dealer brochure: "After decades of racing andrallying victories, a new era in Jaguar's history has begun. Jaguarchose the all-aluminum "V" design for the latest generation ofproduction engines because it combines rigidity with lightweight.Everything you want from a high performance saloon, and more.Extraordinary refinement and ride comfort. Technology in harmonywith the wood and leather. Beautiful, in every sense." For consignment, the embodiment of those lofty words. A fairly rarelong wheelbase 2000 XJ8-L that's been well maintained and has beenthe recipient of some recent maintenance items and a full detailand displaying 75,237 title verified actual miles. Jaguar'snotorious focus on luxury and offering of a broad array of standardfeatures, make this car a standout among thousands of others on theroad. ExteriorOur car is bathed in Sapphire Metallic, a two-stage paint and giventhe rarity of the "L" model and this uncommon color, there arelikely very few in this spec in the United States. The wonderfulbody colored fascia and bumper are enhanced by the upper chrometrim on the bumper. The oval marker lights differentiate the carfrom previous generations and integrated fog lights are standard.It almost wouldn't be a Jaguar without the leaper hood ornament andthe signature grille. The exterior condition belies the 75,237miles this car has traveled thus far, but does show just a handfulof scuffs and scratches on the front. The windows are all framedwith substantial chrome pieces and the B-pillar is part of thatreflective design detail. The wrap-around tail lights introduced in1997 continue here and the rear bumper gets the same chrome trimand body coloring treatment of the front. We note a few scratcheson the rear bumper paint as well. The factory 16-inch wheels are invery good condition and carry 225/60/15's on all corners. InteriorJaguar does interiors right and that is immediately evident fromthe door cards which are honestly some of the most attractive doorpanels we've seen. Warm tones of Oatmeal leather mix with a mochabrown plastic and burl applique in a sweeping, organic design thatis sculpted to perfection. The Oatmeal leather continues to thebucket seats where inserts are stitched in symmetrical rowssurrounded by padded bolsters. We note wear on the driver's seat,but no tears. The pattern continues to the back seats which havebucket style design for two and room in the middle for a thirdpassenger. Before we leave the backseat, we must note that this iswhere the extra five inches of stretch is felt most. It is saidthat adults can cross their legs in the back with the added room.Even with the front seats back, it is indeed comfortable in therear seats. The steering wheel is modern, which means nothingspecial when you compare it to vintage Jaguars, but air bags takeup the middle. A simple, functional dash with burl surroundfeatures three gauges flanked by multiple buttons cut in the shapeof a circle. The center stack houses vents sculpted over a buttonheavy control center that operates the climate control,AM/FM/Cassette radio, seat heaters, traction control and others.The consignor notes that four new speakers have been installed. TheJ shaped automatic shift gate is unique and attractive in itsleather coated base. The mocha carpet is plush, and the headlinersurrounds a sunroof controlled by switches on an overhead consolewhere you'll also find map lights and memory/garage buttons. Thetrunk is lined with gray flannel panels and houses a CD changer,all very tidy! DrivetrainUnder the hood is the venerable 4.0 liter V8 of this period withdouble overhead cams and rated at 290 horsepower, drawing itsatomized energy from electronic fuel injection. The ZF transmissionis a 5-speed automatic that sends power to the rear wheels and 3.06gears. Naturally, the car is equipped with power disc brakes. Inthe engine bay, the V8 is a good looking piece of machinery withblack plastic covers and multi tunneled intake that looks like aline of dancing snakes. Maintenance points such as the dipstick andfiller caps are clearly marked. UndercarriageSome surface rust is seen sporadically, reserved for the untreatedsteel components and much of the exhaust system, but otherwise wesee solid structural underpinnings and clean floor pans.Independent coil spring suspension on all four corners is noted. Wenoted new rear Bilstein shocks, new front brakes, rotors andcalipers, lines and right front upper ball joint while the car wasup on the lift. Three mufflers and two resonators assure a quietride and are likely bolstered by other sound deadening measures. Aquiet car is a nice place to be. Drive-AbilityAnd quiet it is. The leather clad interior is like a cocoon onceyou shut the door and the engine is barely audible. Down the J-gatewe go into drive and direct this lofty ride out of the stable.There's something unique about the low roofline, long hood andrefined interior that makes for a very pleasant ride. The carshifts so smoothly it's almost indetectable, but the power is quitenoticeable. Everything functions as intended including the newbrakes which we utilized after pulling the cat back into thegarage. With service records back to this car's 14,000 mile mark, you'llhave the confidence of a well-documented and well maintained luxurycar in a unique color and rare platform. These are refined andsophisticated cars that also have a loyal fan base and network ofowners who communicate through clubs, forums, and Facebookgroups.
