Dealer Comments

Pristine, like-new 1998 Jaguar XJ8 Vanden Plas. Ultra-rare Amaranth Pearl Paint, Biscuit Connolly leather interior, optional All-Weather Package, Harman/Kardon audio system, 6-disc CD changer and upgraded Bluetooth® telephone connectivity. Heated front / rear seats, power-adjustable front seats w/ 3-position driver memory, burl walnut trim w/ gold accents, contrast seat piping, 4.0L V8, 5-speed automatic transmission. One local owner, records to new. $68,980 MSRP.
One of the most luxurious offerings from Jaguar, the XJ8 Vanden Plas is an extremely well-appointed executive sedan. This example is presented in ultra-rare Amaranth Pearl over Biscuit and it has been owned by the same local owner since being sold new here in the Seattle area for $68,980. The car has been extremely well cared for is incredibly well preserved condition -- much finer that mileage might indicate. It is a fully serviced Vanden Plas, and the chain tensioners have been replaced less than 200 miles ago.
Designed and built for the executive sedan segment, the XJ8 Vanden Plas features a host of high-luxury features. The cabin is dressed in opulent soft-grain Connolly leather throughout with contrast piping, polished wood inlays with gold accents, wood veneer rear picnic trays and power-adjustable front seats with three-position driver memory. This example also features an optional Harman/Kardon audio system, a 6-disc CD changer and the All Weather Package that adds heated front & rear seats and traction control. Additionally, this Vanden Plas has been upgraded with Bluetooth® telephone integration. Further luxury features include the original deep-pile wool floor mats, automatic climate control, Homelink universal garage door opener and rain-sensing wipers.
A powerful 4.0L V8 engine lies under the bonnet, providing power through a silky smooth 5-speed automatic transmission. XJ8 Vanden Plas models are longwheelbase variants of the base XJ8 sedan, providing more cabin space and passenger comfort.
Included with this example are records that date back to new, owner's books, extra keys including a valet key and a CarFax history report.
