I have to sell my XJR due to a short notice (I found out monday) upcoming PCS move to Texas this August. I bought the car in October from a horse trainer who has a lot of Jaguars. His cars were maintained by a Euro mechanic in Corona who specializes in Jags, Rolls, etc. I hate to see her go and I really love the car. But, I'm only taking two with me.

The Car:

2000 Jaguar XJR (Silver/black)
162k miles
4.0l supercharged v8 (370hp/390ft lbs of torque)
Mercedes 5 speed auto transmission (the same behind the 55 AMG cars; very strong)

The x308 XJR is a somewhat rare and very handsome car and one of the best looking Jaguar sedans in my opinion. Very subtle and gets a lot of compliments from everyone. With that said, this thing is a sleeper! Very fast when you want it to be, yet composed.

The car is mostly stock. I'm actually in the process of upgrading the upper pulley and having the supercharger rebuilt as we speak (Literally just placed the order last week before I knew I was leaving). Should be done in a few weeks. Other than that, the car has an upgraded Bosch 010 intercooler pump to go with the pulley upgrade and custom exhaust (not very loud). The tires are practically new Yokohoma Neova Ado8's which are some of my favorite tires.

I've only had one issue with the car. The coolant hose under the supercharger burst. Caught it in the driveway so it didnt overheat. While in there I did the following things:

-Upgraded to metal timing chain tensioners
-Coolant hoses under the supercharger
-Rebuilt Supercharger and upgraded upper pulley (Done by Powerhouse Automotive in UK)
-Replaced supercharger outlet seal
-Valve cover gaskets
-Intercooler hoses, clamps, etc
-Bosch 010 intercooler pump upgrade (flows better than stock and cheaper too. Can be found on every boosted AMG car)
-Revised intercooler duct seals
-Charge air cooler seals
-Coolant hoses
-Thermostat
-Coolant level sensor
-Part load breather hose
-Throttle body seal
-Throttle body arm to supercharger gasket
-EGR gasket
-Knock sensors
-Windshield wiper
Basically every hose and gasket from the valve covers and up have been replaced. Well over $1,000 in parts.

Once I get the supercharger back from the UK I'll put it all back together and keep driving her until she sells.

I'm not looking to make any money from the car. I expect to lose money with every car I own because I like to do things to them. I chalk it up as paying for the experience. I'll post more/better pics when I get her buttoned up in a few weeks.

Price: $6,000 or best offer.
