2004 Jaguar Vanden Plas (VDP) XJ8 with 83K miles, 2 owner car with Xenon’s and Navigation. Maintained by Aston Martin, Rolls-Bentley and Jaguar shop with up-to-date servicing. Excellent condition and the most sought-after colour combination. Factory lamb’s wool floor mats, power rear sunshade, auto one touch windows throughout. Heated seats front & back along with heated steering wheel. Engine is a 4.2 V8 that runs silky smooth with excellent highway gas mileage (27 mpg). Has factory navigation via a digital screen that also controls heat, telephone and radio. Climate control is quiet and AC is outstanding. Everything works like a new car. Thanks to Ford, all the quirkiness is gone and all electronics are solid like a new Lincoln!
The 2004 Jaguar XJ8 is a revolutionary car in that is made out aluminum (doesn’t rust), rivet bonded & glued together like an airplane. This technique makes for the safest luxury sedan on the road that does not squeak or rattle. It has a 6 speed automatic ZF transmission that shared with BMW’s 7 series & Audi’s A8. The torque convertor has been replaced with a new OEM unit along with the transmission pan and fluid. This is preventative maintenance to assure years of trouble free driving. This Jaguar has double wishbone suspension front and rear like a Ferrari along with ride leveling air springs. Compared to a Mercedes, this car is nimble, light on its feet and more elegant driving.
Whilst having the most state of the art construction along with old world details like inlays, burled wood and piped Connolly leather; everything on the car works flawlessly and is reliable as any car in its class. This Vanden Plas has four new Pirelli P Zero Nero all season Z rated tires and also includes 4 Dunlop M3 Z rated snow tires. Has full size spare along with a very generous trunk. No leaks, no stories; just ready to be driven and enjoyed. You’d be hard pressed to find a more head turning reliable car that is a joy to drive at any speed like a VDP.
I am a private party and not interested in trading it in, nor can I help you with financing. Please PM me if would like to proceed.

XJ8 has a six speed trans? Really?
As much as I love the Jag, it's too big for me and I really want a manual trans. This was the ad I want to use on CL. Would put all this into a forum ad as everyone knows this already. Going to put on my friend's car lot. He target consumer is in this price range and hopefully will sell quick.

Looks like I may have a local buyer. Actually, it's a friend's father. My friend was interested in it until his dad saw it and they both want it...
Been considering replacing the VDP with '07 XKR Coupe if I can get by my need for a manual...
