1997 Jaguar XK8

Description

Time to get your hands on a future classic for less than the price of even a used economy hatchback. This 1997 Jaguar XK8 has all the modern power and amenities you want, and best of all, it has been maintained so that this drop top is ready to start appreciating.

It's hard not to fall in love with a Jag that sparkles in its original Carnival Red Mica. After all, red is the best color for a convertible, and this one has a deeper tone that conveys the sophistication that comes from owning a fine British sports car. And if you must drive in bad weather, the tan power folding top and tinted windows give it distinction, too. This car has been babied all its life, and so the panels and their shine look straight from the Coventry, England factory. Jaguars have that timeless appearance of a sleek sports car with luxurious touches, and so it's hard to tell this convertible's age because it fits so well into the company's linage. But at nearly 20 years old, you'll be eligible for classic car insurance in no time!

The cream leather seats are pure Jaguar elegance that's delivered in a level of excellence that only the British seem to have mastered. They're all-day comfortable yet supportive enough for spirited driving, and thanks to quality materials, they look as fresh as the exterior. Because this is a modern classic, you can expect plenty of modern luxury, too. This includes automatic climate control, power tilt steering wheel, power steering, power windows, power locks, cruise control, power seats, keyless entry, and a an aftermarket AM/FM/CD stereo that has the power to be heard with the top down. But beyond comfort, a modern car also means a much safer ride with features such as dual airbags and anti-lock brakes.

Under the bonnet (hood) is a very tidy and original 4.0-liter fuel-injected V8. This motor is famous for combining the engineering talents of Ford with Jaguar's flair for driving passion. It purrs with buttery smoothness but can growl with the biggest cats when you plant your right foot. This convertible was built to be your ultimate grand touring getaway car, and so the motor is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission (utilizing the iconic J-gate shifter.) The European engineered fully independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and the 17-inch Jaguar alloy wheels with low-profile sports tires means this Jag begs for the backroads.

Complete with owner's manual, you probably never thought that you could get such a nice, original, and fully functional Jaguar convertible for this kind of money. But no matter if you're looking for the best deal in a convertible, or looking for an ultra-cool spare vehicle, this one fits so perfectly into everyone's plans and budget. And since there's only one available, you might want to hurry and grab this deal. Call today!!!
