Description:
Hi everyone, I am hunting bigger game now, and it is with a heavy heart that I must let go of my beautiful big cat! I've priced it lower on the Jaguar Forums here than the other auto groups I'm on because I know you all are family and true enthusiasts - I would love to see it go to a deserving home with one of you.
You all know me: this car has been my baby, my pride and joy since I purchased her a year and a half ago. At just 55,649 miles, this is a low mileage example given its 2008 vintage, and I've enjoyed about 20k of those miles of unwavering, trouble-free service in the past 18 months. Elegant optional packages round out the check boxes on this one and include:
- Adaptive Bi-Xenon headlights
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- $2,500 Wood Luxury Package with
- Softgrain tan leather seats
- Heated front luxury sport bucket seats
- Softgrain leather door trim panels
- Heated leather steering wheel
- Leather gear shift knob
- Automatic power-folding mirrors.
People simply love a Jaguar, and in a regal emerald green color, the sensuous curves and lines just flow like the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, delighting everyone who sees it. This car has opened up so many conversations and doors with enthusiasts, business associates, and colleagues that I'd never have been privy to otherwise. I've spared no expense in maintaining it and updating it, to the tune of a bit over $10,000 in maintenance and appearance upgrades over the past year and a half. Highlights include:
- New air filters, MAF sensors cleaned, and oil changed January 2019 at local European specialists - $480
- Bushings and rotted rubber boots replaced by local European specialists in September 2019 yielding major handling improvements - $2,1000
- Better-than-OEM cryogenically treated rotors and EBC Red Stuff brake pads up front last year - $400+
- EBC Red Stuff rear brake pads on-hand, will provide with sale
- Brand new all-season tires purchased and professionally installed from On-Site Tire December 2018. Very good tread left! - $1,000+
- Professional major service including transmission fluid change and coolant change + fuel rails and airboxes cleaned in May 2018 - $1,400
- OEM-style XKR-S body kit added last year from Jaguar specialists at Mina Gallery
- Refinished the wheels to remove curb rash. Powder coated stunning bronze-gold metallic flake to complement deep emerald green color May 2019 - $450
- Ceramic window tint - driver, passenger, and rear glass May 2019
- Full set of H&R lowering springs included - not installed
- Supercharger oil changed - November 2019
- Replaced the full passenger side adaptive front AFS headlight assembly in January after a fault prevented it from leveling (diagnosed at Stevinson Imports in Denver) - $800+
- Custom power multi-position tinted glass sun-roof - $800-$1,200 option at the dealer.
- Hard-wired Uniden late model extreme long-range radar, laser, and MFRC detector included if I get near my asking price - $300

Those are very nice cars. I actually looked into an F-Type R, I think they're some of the best-looking cars ever made. However, I decided that if I'm spending upwards of $50k I'm going to shoot for one of my childhood dream cars and get a Ferrari.

Interior and engine bay detailed yesterday plus some extra love on the outside! Going into the shop on Friday to resurface and re-wrap the splitter (steep grades on drives here have rubbed the underside).

Awesome car — and killer pics! It's on the front page, so hopefully it helps you with eyeballs. Good luck with the sale.

As for the wheels, they were done by a professional wheel shop in Dallas - ran about $450 for the complete refinishing and powder coating.

It's the XKR-S body kit, so no performance mods. The XKR-S was only available in this style one year before they did the massive face-lift overhaul version of it later. This kit forms the basis of the Speed Pack and Black Pack body kits too, I believe. It's the front splitter, rear aero, and side skirts. Really makes the car look sharper. You could get the mods for a bump to ~510hp with a pulley upgrade, ECU tune and airflow remap, and exhaust. Runs between $2,000-$3,000 total depending on the exhaust option you go with.

Fully extended sun-roof with the screen retracted so you can see the inside :-)
