This Jaguar X308 XJ (1998-2003) got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1998 Jaguar XJ8 has been registered in California since new and now has 42k miles. Finished in beige over matching leather upholstery, the car is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a power-operated sunroof, power-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, cruise control, fog lights, and a Pioneer CD stereo. The selling dealer purchased the car in 2019, and the oil was changed in June 2022. This XJ8 is offered at no reserve by the selling dealer with manufacturer’s literature, a spare set of four alloy wheels, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.
