Vehicle Description
Time to get your hands on a bold and fast premium droptop for less than the price of even a used economy hatchback. This 2002 Jaguar XKR has all the modern power and amenities you want, and best of all, there's a supercharged V8 under the hood that's just begging for some fun.
You can instantly tell from the moment you lay eyes on this convertible that it is the bold side of premium. The original Phoenix red paint sparkles in the sunlight, and when you have factory paint that looks this fantastic, you know it's a garage-kept treasure. But more than just the paintwork, you can tell this car has been babied all its life because the panels look as straight as the day they were hung at the Coventry, England factory. While the louvers in the hood hint at this car's performance nature, the chrome door handles, tan power folding top, and intricate 18-inch alloy wheels all remind you that this is true British sophistication. Jaguars have that timeless appearance of a sleek sports car with luxurious touches, and so it's hard to tell this convertible is nearly 15-years old because it fits so well into the company's linage.
The cashmere light tan leather seats are pure Jaguar elegance that's delivered in a level of excellence that only the British seem to have mastered. They're all-day comfortable yet supportive enough for spirited driving, and thanks to quality materials, they look as fresh as the exterior. Because this is a modern classic, you can expect plenty of modern luxury, including automatic climate control, power tilt steering wheel, power steering, power windows, power locks, cruise control, power seats, and a great-sounding AM/FM/cassette stereo with CD changer. There's even a DVD-based navigation system. But beyond comfort, a modern car also means a much safer ride with features such as dual airbags and anti-lock brakes.
Under that louvered bonnet (hood) is an engine bay packed with power. Thanks to the "R" in the Jag's name, this stately English gentleman knows how to throw a punch. The 4.0-liter fuel-injected V8 has been supercharged to give it 370 horsepower and a 0 to 60 mph time in five seconds. This speedy cat even retains it's the original powerplant, so it has true collectability that goes with its power. Being a true luxury car, it will stay nice and quiet during regular driving, but plant your right foot, and this big cat loves to growl. This same sport/luxury dual personality can be found in features like the five-speed automatic transmission (utilizing the iconic J-gate shifter), power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes. The XKR also received an upgrade to its fully independent suspension so it handles like a true European thoroughbred.
When a premium performance convertible is so well presented, there's no question of its desirability. But when this future classic is also priced like an economy car, we know it will leave our dealership quickly. Call today!!!
