My parents bought this car new from a dealership in Las Vegas in 2004.My dad is 75 years old, he has babied this car since the day they bought it.

If you know anything about Jaguars then you will know that this was the year that Jaguar made all of the changes. Better built, lighter, more reliable.

Edmunds Consumer rating gave this year XJR 5 stars.This is as good as it gets. I have owned the BMW 745 and Mercedes 500, I prefer to drive this car over either one of those.

The only issue that you would ever have with a 2004 XJR would be with the sir ride suspension system.We eliminated that system and installed the upgraded suspension less than two weeks ago.

This upgrade was over $2,000. To purchase and install, it is a must for XJR Owners who want to drive a car that is trouble free.

Road Test

Jaguar's engineers are happy to point out that the seventh-generation XJ-series cars are the first aluminum monocoque structures to be built at Castle Bromwich since the Spitfire fighter aircraft during World War II. It's perhaps no coincidence, then, that these XJ Jaguars are built using aerospace techniques (in this case bonded and riveted sheetmetal with extruded and cast aluminum structural members) instead of around a space-frame concept (like Audi's A8), which was considered unnecessarily complex.

The result is a car some 200 pounds lighter than its predecessor, with an interior nearly 20 percent larger and a structure 60 percent stiffer. Lighter is obviously better; lighter and more rigid are better yet, providing a more stable platform for the suspension and powertrain. And when you have nearly 400 horsepower to harness, as does the supercharged XJR model tested here, a stiff structure is essential.

Although the 2004 XJR wears an all-new aluminum body, the car's powertrain—a force-fed 4.2-liter V-8 and a six-speed automatic transmission—has already been sampled in XKR and S-type R variants, so we suspected it would provide strong and smooth thrust. And it did. The Eaton blower spins five percent faster than in the previous XJR, blowing 13.1 pounds of boost down the engine's 16 eager little inlet throats, helping churn out 399 pound-feet of torque at a relatively low 3500 rpm.

Obviously, the light weight of the car (just 4000 pounds) helps acceleration, but the propulsion provided by nearly 400 pound-feet of torque has to be felt to be appreciated. In the XJR, a dab at the throttle picks up the car and wafts it away from other vehicles on a virtual wave of torque.

The smooth V-8 pedals through a plush six-speed ZF transmission, and careful electronic calibration has the two whirling in well-orchestrated unison. When cruising at normal speeds, the engine responds to a hard jab at the pedal with a brief pause as the autobox digs for an appropriate ratio, then it thrusts the occupants back into their seats with another long surge of acceleration.

But just as with the S-type R we tested in our May 2002 issue, Jaguar's published specs seem to run into literal contradictions. Maximum power is reported to be available at 6100 rpm, yet the tachometer is redlined at 6000, and the automatic transmission shifts at that point. Nonetheless, our car swooped to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds (in its press materials, Jaguar promises a 5.0-second time) and on through the quarter-mile in a respectable 13.9 seconds at 104 mph.

TFor people concerned about the vulnerability of the all-aluminum body, Jaguar's engineers insist that the bake-hardened alloy used on the car's outer skin is more resistant to dings than normal steel panels and that high-ductility alloy provides better protection in collisions. In addition, the XJR features bolt-on front and rear structures for quick and simple replacement of damaged extremities.

Lighter the new car may be; noisier it is not. Quieter camshaft drive chains and tuned induction paths have helped reduce engine noise, and numerous procedures and material applications throughout the car have made the new XJR especially calm inside. Even the Eaton blower's noise is subdued until operating at high speed and full throttle. Like a singer in a chorus awaiting a cue, the blower saves its song for high-performance driving. Then, to confirm the contribution it's making to the car's greatly hastened progress, the whine suddenly rises above the mellow growl of the V-8.

Even wind noise is low in the new XJR, thanks to careful body sculpting and triple door seals. Enthusiasts might consider the new XJs too quiet, but Jaguar devotees will undoubtedly appreciate the levels of refinement.

The XJR's combination of poise and tranquility means that cars ahead are never going fast enough. Just as well, then, that the steering has good on-center feel along with equally good off-center response. There is so little lost motion between the wheel rim and front tires that abrupt inputs produce startlingly digital responses from the car's nose. Learn to finesse the steering in this car—not a difficult task—and you will find a rhythm on a winding stretch of road that engages your attention very agreeably.

After watching Mike Cross, Jaguar's chief engineer for vehicle integrity, perform spectacular high-speed power slides on video, we feel doubly convinced that the DSC isn't there just to compensate for an incomplete chassis-tuning exercise. And after stopping from 70 mph in 164 feet (averaging 1.00 g of deceleration in the process), we know the giant Brembo rotors and their four-piston calipers are well up to the job of stopping this two-ton projectile.

Like many of the cars offered in this price stratum, the XJR has all the bells and whistles. It has elaborate safety systems with automatic deployment of airbags and belt tensioners based on the readings of various sensors. It has a killer Alpine stereo with 12 speakers. It has xenon headlights and LED taillights. It has 16-way power-adjustable front seats. It has leather and wood and good British interior charm.

But most important, it now has room for tall drivers and tall passengers and their luggage. In this league, that might be a lot more important than an aluminum body. But isn't it nice now to have it all?

You will not find a nicer XJR for sale than this one.This is a car that will keep up with the most expensive of luxury performance cars and can be parked next to a Bentley and still look great.

This car will sell to the high bidder regardless if that is $5000 or $25,000

I really hope to get what this car is worth but I will trust the auction to bring whatever the market will pay.Whoever wins this bid will be very happy!Everyone thinks I’m crazy for listing this as a no reserve but I figure it will bring whatever its worth.No games, no gimmicks just be prepared to pay if you win.

I will be happy to help you arrange to get the car to your home as long as it has been paid for before it leaves the driveway.You can fly into Sacramento or Oakland and drive it home, Oakdale is about 90 miles from either airport.

The winning bidder will need to pay a $500 deposit within 24 hours and the balance within 5 days.You can leave the car here as long as you wish once it is paid for.

This is a true NO RESERVE!High Bidder Wins!

(I had to start the auction at $500 so I could ask for a deposit.)
