2011 Jaguar XK Coupe

The seller is offering a 2011 Jaguar XK Coupe that he has been enjoying for the past 15 months but says he does not drive it enough to justify keeping it.  Jaguar's XK grand tourer entered near-exotic territory with its aluminum structure and body when introduced in 2007. The 5.0-liter DOHC V8 that arrived for 2011 was the icing on the proverbial cake, delivering on the promise of the grace and pace made by the body's design. Mechanically and dynamically, the newly fortified XK was a highly compelling challenger to the Mercedes SL and even Aston Martins. Sophisticated front and rear double-wishbone suspension had help from electronically controlled adaptive-damping shocks, which Jaguar cleverly called Computer Active Technology Suspension (CATS), though it was not really active suspension. Touring luxury was grand, with 16-way power seats with heating and cooling, a heated steering wheel, and a 525-watt Bowers & Wilkins stereo with an in-dash six-disc CD changer all standard for the $83,000 base price ($23,000 less than a Mercedes SL550.) As a bonus, the XK coupe's body hid a hatchback surprise that added versatility for traveling. The 5.0-liter DOHC V8 was rated at 385 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 380 lb-ft of peak torque at 3,500 rpm by the manufacturer when new. The 2011 XK coupe could do 0-60 mph in 5 seconds, according to contemporary road tests.- that the Jag's engine is original, and not rebuilt, and that the car starts immediately and reliably, with no smoke. There are no leaks or weeps, and the six-speed automatic transmission shifts properly through all gears. A new battery was installed and the oil and filter were changed at 50,000 miles. The Jag's Stratus Grey paint presents very well in the provided photos, and the seller affirms there are no swirl marks. The Carfax report indicates minor damage to the rear in 2014 and again in 2015. - a minor scratch on the front bumper, another near the rear license plate, and one on the lower passenger's side. The glass and windows have no cracks or scratches, and there are no issues with the seals or leaks. There is no rust, and photos show a clean underside with minimal surface oxidation in a few spots. All lights are affirmed to work - According to the owner, the car's carpet is in good condition, and the polished wood interior trim is intact. The Ivory leather front seats show just light wear commensurate with the car's age and miles. The door panels show almost no wear.- all power seat adjustments work, as do the seat heating and cooling functions. - that the headliner had been replaced before he bought the car, and that it is the correct color but not the original suede material. The automatic climate control system (heat and A/C), power windows, locks, and mirrors are all affirmed to work, as is the original factory stereo with navigation and Bluetooth. -- that the Jaguar's suspension has no needs, and that the CATS system is working as designed. The 275/35R19 Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 tires show 2020 DOT manufacturing date codes, and the seller believes they have under 3,000 miles. The original 19 x 8.5-inch factory chromed alloy wheels have minor curb rash, but no vibrations at highway speeds, the seller states. - that the car's power steering has no leaks, and says the car tracks straight with no play or vagueness. The antilock four-wheel disc brakes function as designed. This car is equipped with electronic traction and stability control. One of the most capable and luxurious European grand tourers on the market when new, this 2011 Jaguar XK Coupe presents as a nicely maintained example, with no reported needs, ready for its next owner.
