2007 Jaguar XK-Series XK

2007 Jaguar XK Convertible- Arizona Car- 4.2L V8- Automatic Transmission- Power Convertible Top- Red Metallic Over Tan Interior- 108k MilesThere really is nothing quite like a Jaguar, especially the XK models which were completely redesigned in 2007. Jaguar's ad campaign that year described the XK as Gorgeous. Both the car and the ad campaign were designed to help pump up this British luxury car line, which had already made great strides in improving quality since it was purchased by Ford Motor Co. in 1989 as part of Ford's Premier Automotive Group (PAG). It became evident that Jaguar could still design and manufacture a vehicle that could compete successfully in the top end of the auto business, where style, comfort and performance must be blended perfectly to meet the expectations of customers who are used to having the very best of everything. The XK delivered on the Jaguar vision of beautiful, fast cars. Both the coupes and convertibles signified a slightly new design direction for Jaguar and improved on the cars they replaced by offering more power, a roomier interior, and improved fuel economy. Among those improvements the new XK also dispelled the misconceptions that Jaguar was an older man's car, had issues with poor quality, and was behind in technology. Featured here is a stunning example featuring radiance red exterior with elegant ivory slate interior. This XK features an all-aluminum body, which made this model significantly lighter, helping both performance and increasing fuel economy. This car originated from Arizona and the paint presents with some expected minor blemishes and chips from a 15-year-old car with 107,000 miles on the clock. However, the finish still shines with a rich luster. The power convertible top matches the interior color which contrasts nicely with the red paint. Inside the cabin of this convertible exudes elegance with its burl walnut trim. Sitting in the leather upholstered seats is as comfortable as a living room recliner. The upholstery and carpet show some light wear but is otherwise free of any rips and tears. Standard amenities of this XK convertible are a security system; an Alpine audio system with six-disc, in-dash CD changer; bi-xenon headlights; Bluetooth hands- free telephone system; rain-sensing windshield wipers; reverse parking sensor; a DVD/GPS navigation system with a seven-inch color touch screen; keyless entry and start; automatic climate control; and a universal garage/gate opener. Not to mention air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, locks, and seats. Safety features include driver and passenger seat-mounted side air bags, along with seatbelt pretensioners. The trunk is clean and complete with all the factory safety equipment, and it can easily handle a couple of golf bags or luggage for a weekend trip. Under the bonnet, the engine compartment is clean and features a naturally aspirated Jaguar 4.2-liter V-8 engine. This power plant produces an impressive 300 horsepower and 310 foot-pounds of torque. A six-speed sequential-shift automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted paddles that let the driver shift manually. The transmission additionally features a sport mode for more aggressive automatic shifting. The undercarriage of this Jaguar is clean and presents as never having been driven in inclement weather. This XK comes equipped with power steering, a computerized active suspension electronic stability control, and power assisted antilock brakes. This is really a great driving car, with outstanding performance and handling but still practical for everyday use. This would make a great seasonal driver to enjoy sunny days with top-down driving. Or, this car would make an excellent vessel for weekend trips or day tours of the local countryside with the wind blowing through your hair and all your concerns in the rearview mirror!
