Vehicle Description
Sit behind the wheel for one moment, and you'll never believe the
price on this 1998 Jaguar XJ Vanden Plas sedan. After all, it will
feel like there is no way such a well-respected V8 luxury icon with
only 40,659 original miles and a clean Autocheck history can
possibly be this affordable.
Jaguar's reputation for smoothness, performance, and old-world
luxury is earned through a rich history, and this handsome sedan
shows all of those virtues rather well. It's been properly
maintained throughout its life - a fact demonstrated by the
beautiful Anthracite Metallic paint, which is believed to be all
factory original right down to the pinstriping. The black retains
that high gloss finish that demonstrates the superior quality you
got for your money when you bought a top-of-the-line luxury car.
The long, low Jaguar profile is instantly recognizable as the shape
that built this icon. There are hints of chrome on the factory
16-inch crown alloy wheels, dual tailpipes, and iconic leaper hood
ornament that all add a touch of class. And Jag fans know that the
special grille and trunklid brightwork signal this is the
upper-crust Vanden Plas.
The tan leather interior is where this Jag really shines. It's
beautifully preserved on this cherished future classic, and the
dark tan piping on the seats gives it a tailored look. It's
combined with the special Vanden Plas wood to showcase the
craftsmen standards in Coventry. The luxury continues with a long
list of desirable features such as automatic climate control, power
windows, power locks, heated seats, cruise control, power seats,
and AM/FM/cassette stereo with CD changer. Modern features not only
mean superior luxury, but also modern safety. So you get the
convenience of dual airbags and anti-lock brakes. But more than
just driver features, the Vanden Plas is coveted for offering the
long wheelbase XJ. That means limousine-like legroom for the rear
passengers, and even thoughtful details like a fold-sown tray
table.
Under that leaper bonnet (hood) is a very tidy 4.0-liter
fuel-injected V8. This motor is believed to be all original, and
it's famous for combining the engineering talents of Ford with
Jaguar's flair for driving passion. It purrs with buttery
smoothness but can growl with the biggest cats when you plant your
right foot. This luxury sedan was built to make your heart race
like a sports car, and so the motor is mated to a five-speed
automatic transmission (utilizing the iconic J-gate shifter.) The
European engineered full independent suspension, power steering,
and four-wheel disc brakes means this executive sedan begs for the
backroads.
This is the ultimate luxury XJ with a burly V8, low miles, and the
kind careful ownership that you want in cherished luxury sedan.
Even the owner's manual comes with the sale. It's amazing you take
this home for same price that isn't even the down payment for a new
one. This kind of value will not have to stay long at our
dealership. Call today!!!
