Explore the 1998 Jaguar XJR

Without a doubt, the best car I’ve ever owned.

I bought my 98’ XJR in Feb. 2018. The previous owner, owns a Jaguar repair shop and he kept it in excellent condition. This car runs and looks new inside and out. It just turned 164k on the odometer. I also am asked about this car and receive several compliments a week on it. Classic style and performance makes this the best car I’ve ever owned. So much fun to drive. I would take a lot for me to part with it.

Best Car I've Ever Owned

This is the best car I have ever owned, any year at any price. I purchased my XJR 4 months ago and quickly realized this was a special car. It will blow the doors off my Porsche. I was sad to discover that former owners had not kept the car up cosmetically, so I spent the 7K to put her back into excellent condition. I get asked about this car several times a week. Random people ask me if I would consider selling it and the answer is, no. I have a feeling the value of this car will go up exponentially, especially the earlier ones like my '98. Now is the time to buy why they are still somewhat affordable.

Best around

If ever there was a car that made all the right noises, conveyed class in just the right measure and performed like Arnold Schwarzenegger on steroids, it's the tasty supercharged V8 XJR.

Fastest car around

A missle torpedo, that seems as if it was sport tuned in germany, pull out on a strait away and mesh the pedal into the carpet and wait for the wonderful synphony of mecanical noises the V8 SUPERCHARGED engine produces, and all i can say is you and the hood ornament will be hanging on for dear life as the car pulls forward with enough force to rip the fat z rated pirelli tires right off the car. impress the muscle car enthusiast with this one thats for sure
