2001 Jaguar XK in Chicago, Illinois

Vehicle Description

2001 Jaguar XK8 Convertible One-Owner CarFax Silver / Black 126,058 Miles VIN: SAJDA42C21NA13273 Evolve Motors and Chicago Car Club are pleased to present this 2001 Jaguar XK8 Convertible! This car sold new at Orloff Imports in Chicago to a local woman who drove the car daily until she fell into poor health last year. While we typically deal with pre-1990 cars, we've really enjoyed having this car around as an errand-runner. It's comfortable, quick, easy to drive, and sharp-looking. We have given the car a general inspection and changed the oil; as it sits, this car is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner. Exterior: Silver paint has a nice metallic sparkle to it. The car was involved in a minor fender-bender in 2012, as noted on the CarFax, and the front left fender was resprayed following that incident. Damage was repaired and there is no evidence of it remaining. Paint shows very well throughout, with just some minor chipping on the lower front bumper, a couple small, light scratches on the lower driver rear quarter, and a paint flake in the middle of the driver's side rocker. Body is in excellent shape, with no dents or door dings whatsoever. There is a small bubble on the crease below the passenger rear taillight. Black convertible top and boot cover are both in as-new condition. Doors and body panels open and close without a fuss. Wheels are in good shape, with just some minor curb rash on the outer ring. Tires have 80% tread remaining. Interior: Interior is in very nice condition. Driver's seat does show some cracking on the forward outside corner, passenger seat and backseat are mint. Dash shows as-new, with no scratches or damage. Wood paneling looks great. Black carpeting is perfect throughout, with no stains or frayed spots. Black floor mats will come with the car as well. Odometer reads 126,058 and is functional and accurate. All powered systems are functional - convertible top, radio, air conditioning, wipers, lights and signals, seat heaters, and all gauges. Mechanical: This car feels excellent on the road; there are no tendencies or noises of concern. The 4.0L V8 (290hp, 290lb-ft) provides smooth and significant power. Suspension is nice and supple, with no clanking or creaking over bumps. Shifts from the 5spd automatic gearbox are smooth and the brakes do a great job of reeling the car in from speed. The car tracks straight under both acceleration and braking. Underneath the car looks decent; it is structurally sound but there is some surface rust scattered about. Please take a good look through the photos, as the car is documented in detail. Car will be sold with original manual and accompanying booklets.
