Up for grabs is my beloved 2000 Jaguar Vanden Plas. I'm only the second owner of the car and I’ve owned the car since 2008 when it had about 82,000 miles on it and now the car has just over 123,000 miles. Its Platinum Silver with Charcoal Connolly leather hides with light grey piping. The car was built with every option available except for GPS and on-board cell phone. I has a 6-disc changer, 4 heated seats, burled walnut with boxwood inlays, folding rear tables, sheepskin floor mats, automatic headlights, rain sensing wipers, and all the other lovely Jag goodies. The car has been a great drive for the past few years and continues to be a wonderful machine. Its just too big to keep around as a 3rd car and I’m running out of space with two other cars, a motorcycle, and a boat project.

Vital Stats:
Engine V8, 4.0 Liter
Horsepower 290 @ 6100 RPM
Torque 290 @ 4250 RPM

I typically get around 20-23 MPG depending on how much highway driving I’ve done and how much AC I’ve used.

This is a long-wheelbase car and it has folding walnut pick-nick tables in the back seats. The wood is in really great shape in this car with a single small scratch in the clear coat on the dashboard and a few cracks in the clear on the tables. But not even enough to really make a fuss over. At least I don't.

Options
Folding Rear Tables
Sheepskin Floor Mats
Wood Steering Wheel
Wood Shifter Knob
Heated Front and Rear Seats
3 Setting Memory Seat
6-Disk CD Changer

Very well maintained, Mobil 1 Synthetic since I’ve owned it, full maintenance history including synthetic transmission fluid service, synthetic rear end service, new Cooper CS4 tires, sway bar links, two coil packs, a battery, and more.

The sticker from new was $67,000 and I’m selling the car at a $60,000 discount from new for the sum of $7,000. The book on it is around $7,500 so I will consider reasonable offers, but the car really is stunning and I've seen a lot of Jags around, and this one is the nicest I've seen.

Thanks for looking! The car is in Tiverton, Rhode Island but its only an hour from Boston, 30 minutes from Cape Cod and I'm pretty flexible.

Doug,

The transmission was replaced around 80,000, just before I bought the car. I can't tell you whether or not the tensioners have been replaced, but I can tell you I haven't replaced them. I haven't had any problems with the car to speak of. Regular replacements like brakes and the like.
