2002 Jaguar XJ-Series Vanden Plas 4dr Sedan (4.0L 8cyl 5A)

Always loved Jaguar's but never owned one. Being a car lover I found one, a 2003 model with the old classic styling - an X308 with high miles but reasonably well looked after. The vehicle is definitely old school and can manifest some quirky "Jag" symptoms mostly electrical. The AJV8 is a super engine with the exception of earlier models which had timing tensioner issues. Once replaced or fixed however this becomes an excellent power plant built by Jaguar not Ford. This V8 has been used in the Lincoln LS and some other Ford V8 examples. Power is smooth with 290 HP and the German transmission is super smooth if serviced properly. Ride is quiet and balanced and for a heavy car (steel body) it handles remarkably well and goes where it's pointed. The Vanden Plas has huge space in the rear and the fold down wood trays though odd add a touch of elegance & class. The front seating area is rather cramped as is usual with Jaguar's but the complete package of this car makes up for this annoying inconvenience. This is truly old school elegance but delivers effortlessly when you need to move in a graceful way. Wonderful vehicle if you find a well maintained one. Stick to the later model's 2002 - 2003

This is my second Jag and if it is anything like the first I'll be estactic. I had a XJ8 before, now I went for the Vanden Plas...wow, what a difference in ride and confort. The last one was excellent, this one is subperb. It's a darn shame they're going to change the vehicle next year, as this is one classic style vehicle that doesn't get old.

Wife and I found this car in 2006 with only 9600 original miles. I can hardly get her out of it! We have a 2005 Town Car, which rides great, but there is nothing like driving a JAG! What a ride!
