Hello All- Just saw this listing on Craigslist. Looks like it might be a good donor car for anyone around NE.

2000 Jaguar XK8 Convertable

 

So whats wrong with it?

 

DITTO. Motor is prob busted tho they say NEWER. Its NEW on everything else. Bet motor is messed up.

 

Wish I was closer, I'd sure have a look.

Has the trouble lights all lit up like a christmas tree, including the CEL, so something is definitely not good.

To low on price to be trouble-free and the ad does imply it could be a parts car.

 

throw him 1500 and bring it home to prep it for a LSx transplant.

 

Water anyone? I emailed him to why low price for all the new stuff it had, this is what I got back.....


Well its because it has a rebuilt title from Florida and the top does not work. It's rebuilt because it was driven through some deep water on the street and the motor sacked it up and hydro locked bending the rods and also fried trans. These both have been replaced. Has new hydraulic pump and still will not go down. I believe it's going to be the control module that is bad. And the interior is not perfect. I am asking so little because of title and the top not working. Other than that totally runs awesome and no warning light on.

 

That air box is high, seems to me it took some hard water for a long time to get in and roast it.
