Explore the 2002 Jaguar Vanden Plas

Driving this car is pure Silk and Bliss

You know what? This car is by far the best car I've ever owned. Sure its a little dated but class does not age. The level of luxury in this car is absolutely stupendous. When you drive this Jaguar, it makes you feel like youre riding the chariot of the gods though the sky. You will not feel a single thing except pure silk and bliss. Pot holes? Cant feel them. Speed bumps? Railroad tracks? Non-existent. Of course, as a flagship luxury sedan, it comes equipped with spaceage technologies trimmed with leather and glossy wood. It is equipped with Heated seats, automatic headlights, dimming rear-view mirror, active suspension, etc. It's even got a "valet mode" because self-parking is for peasants. In case you weren't convinced by these features to drive this car, then there is no problem. You're not MEANT to drive it. This car is designed to be driven by a chauffeur. The Vanden Plas model, which is this model, is 4 inches longer, comes with heated rear seats, an Alpine Stereo System (with subwoofer), and two tables. This car has airline syle, rear tray tables. What more could you possibly need? Then there is the warpdrive of an engine. This XJ8 is equipped with a super quiet Jaguar 4.0L DOHC 290hp V8. Even though classy people with classy cars don't typically like to go fast, but this XJ8 can walk your peasant neighbor's unnecessarily noisy V6 mustang while enjoying crisp AC and classical music. Do you need more?

Dream Jag, but only good for enthusiasts

One of the most classy cars ever built. Drives like a dream. High maintenance especially after 60,000 miles. All parts are available online for very cheap price. It's an amazing car but you need to be on top of its maintenance to prevent from having major breakdown.
