Description
Overview:
This 2007 Jaguar XK Convertible is a gorgeous piece with service history and receipts dating back to when the car was first purchased new in 2007. An incredible example of a well-maintained well-documented low mileage vehicle that you just don’t see very often. With one owner who was very meticulous, this car is about as good as it gets. Its sleek black on black colorway was specialty ordered from the factory and definitely still looks the part. The front mounted 4. 2 Liter V8 pushes this 3, 761-pound car to its limits at a whopping 300 horsepower to the wheels. And with it being Rear Wheel Drive you get an additional 310 ft/ lbs of torque. Needless to say, slow is not an option with this car and who would want to. With push to start and a fully adjustable steering wheel this car features everything you could ever need. You won’t have to worry about hitting the curb anymore because featured is a multitude of sensors placed all around the car which indicate how close you are. The fully black interior is complimented perfectly with walnut wood accents on both the dash, center console and the steering wheel. Both front seats are heated and feature seat memory settings for ideal placement. The center console displays climate control options, with fully customizable zones and is fully digital. The back two seats are just as comfortable as the front with 50% less leg room. I would suggest sticking the kiddos in the back because most people would have a rough time squeezing in. Moving to the trunk you find yourself a 12-volt trickle charger which insures long lasting battery life. Our final but probably most important detail is the fully opposable and retractable convertible top. At the push of a button the two rear windows recede, and the top begins to retract. In a matter of seconds, you have gone from daily driver to summer cruiser, and I’ll guarantee you’ll have a huge smile on your face the whole time. All and all this is a phenomenal opportunity for a low mile, one owner gem of a Jaguar that will impress everyone you know.
History:
Like the XJ sedan, the Jaguar XK features all-aluminum construction for its body structure and body panels. In the XK’s case, the main advantages to aluminum construction are weight reduction and body stiffness. The 2007 Jaguar XK is a bit lighter than the previous-generation XK8 and noticeably lighter than its main competitors. Jaguar also claims that the extra body stiffness has improved handling, ride quality and crashworthiness. Bigger brakes and a more sophisticated Computer Active Technology Suspension (CATS) are also part of the upgrade, and a lengthened wheelbase has freed up considerably more room for front occupants. As far as safety goes the Jaguar XK comes with front-seat side airbags (that provide both head and chest protection), whiplash-reducing front seats, a tire-pressure monitoring system, traction control, antilock brakes and stability control. The standard XK's stability control system has two stages, one of which gives the driver more responsibility for the car's handling before the system activates. All XK convertibles have two aluminum hoops that auto-deploy in the case of a rollover accident to better protect occupants. All around the Jaguar is a phenomenally built car which was definitely ahead of its time.
