Vehicle Description
This 2005 Jaguar XJ8 L offers the best of everything. It has smooth
V8 power, aristocratic long wheel base, exceptional modern luxury
(especially for the rear seat,) and it's all wrapped in a sleek
European style. And while this offers you an executive-level
experience, you can get it today for a mail room kind of price.
A Jaguar is timeless luxury, and this is the ideal generation to
own. They would change the shape dramatically in a few years, so
this sedan is that perfect intersection where the iconic XJ lines
meets the latest technology. While that point is highlighted
particularly in the interior (more on that in a moment,) it also is
part of the exterior, too. The iconic low-slung swoopy lines of
this sedan were switched to lightweight aluminum for better
performance. And they were precision crafted for the ultimate in
detail. That's why the crease that appears around the headlight has
an almost unbroken line until it fades back into the panel by the
taillight - a true class act! It all still looks great today
because this modern classic has been treated with care. Even the
paint retains a dignified look with its correct glossy shade of
timeless Quartz metallic gray. So the price seems like a pittance
to obtain the flagship of an upper-class European brand.
Inside is a great mix of old world luxury and modern technology.
The Dove Gray leather interior is a craftsman's piece, and you can
tell by how nice the upholstery remains today. The steering wheel
leather does show some signs of use, but it also has Jaguar's
glossy wood to make sure it continues to look and feel up to
Jaguar's standards. The walnut wood here has a matching pattern
with the doors, dash, and center console to really warm up the
atmosphere. This is the long wheelbase "L" model, and so there is
even more room for rear seat occupants to stretch out. The luxury
continues with a long list of desirable features such as dual zone
automatic climate control, power windows, power locks, keyless
entry/alarm, cruise control, power seats, heated seats, a premium
AM/FM/CD stereo, power tilt/telescopic steering column, and a power
sunroof. Modern features not only mean superior luxury, but also
the modern safety of dual front airbags, side airbags, and
anti-lock brakes.
The 8 in XJ8 means you're in the generation of proper V8 power. The
engine bay shows off a very tidy and correct numbers-matching
4.2-liter fuel-injected unit. This motor is 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 six-speed automatic transmission (utilizing the
iconic J-gate shifter.) The European engineered fully independent
suspension, power steering, limited slip rear end, and four-wheel
disc brakes means this executive sedan begs for the back roads.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a great luxury icon that is
more affordable than you ever thought before. Call now!
