“That’s the best Jag, probably, ever made” – Jeremy Clarkson on the X308 XJ. He was talking about the XJR there, but it’s a sentiment that can be applied to the entire X308 lineup. The Vanden Plas was the top-of-the-range model sold in the US (equivalent to the Daimler that was made for other markets). They came with softer suspension, all the luxury features and options, and Vanden Plas trim and badging. The X308 often tends to get confused with the X300, which is quite understandable. The visual differences are minimal, with the major changes being the new dashboard, bumpers, and engine options.
White on tan is a classic color combination for a vehicle of this category. Being a Vanden Plas, it comes with more chrome than the lower spec XJ8s (including chrome door mirrors and body side moldings), and this one even has polished chrome wheels. All this chrome works well with the white exterior to achieve the old-school limo appearance. The tan leather interior and generous use of wood trim also contribute to this. Even the steering wheel is made of wood and leather, with the roaring Jaguar embossed in the center. There’s no question of unnecessarily large touchscreens on this car; every function has a tactile button. Some of the significant changes in the new dashboard include the new gauge cluster and the addition of a glovebox (which was not seen in XJs since the XJ40 got airbags). As a Vanden Plas, it also has wooden picnic tables for the rear passengers, and front passenger seat controls for the rear. This car is also equipped with a sunroof, heated mirrors, cruise control, keyless door locks, and a 9-speaker sound system. The owner also states that a backup beep sensor has been installed.
A big part of a Jag is the power unit under the hood. The inline-six and V12 were discontinued with the X300, and the X308 was Jaguar’s first V8-only model. It came with a choice of 3.2L, 4.0L NA, and 4.0SC engines (only the 4.0 options were available in the US market). This car has the naturally aspirated 4.0 with a 5-speed automatic. The seller reports that servicing is up to date and that this car has only 64,571 miles on it. It also comes with two keys.

Arguably Jaguar’s most prolific model, the XJ full-size luxury sedan was made between 1968 and 2019. It’s known as the last model to be personally designed under Sir William Lyons, the founder of Jaguar Cars, and for much of its existence, the XJ stayed true to its core design language. All this changed in 2010, when the X351 generation came to be. Out went the admittedly dated design language and old-school driving dynamics in favor of a total rehash. The looks were sharp and fresh, the driving experience was top-notch and the car’s luxury features took several leaps too. Today, we have one of those fine machines, a 2015 Jaguar XJ Portfolio from Hagerstown, Maryland. With its supercharged V6, Meridian sound system and attractive aftermarket wheels, this 105,974-mile Jaaaag is ideal for you to adopt as your new daily driver.
British luxury automaker Jaguar’s top-tier offering in the sedan space was their iconic XJ model. Made from 1968 to 2019, the XJ maintained a rather similar design ethos for much of its life. This meant that even models from the Nineties, although thoroughly modernized, didn’t look too far removed from their forefathers. All this changed in 2010, with the X351 generation. This era saw everything about the XJ given a full rebirth, from the styling to the mechanicals and everything else too. Suddenly, the XJ had shed its “old person” looks and started attracting new demographics as well. So, if you’re shopping for a pre-owned luxury car, this 2012 Jaguar XJ from Texas is a great choice. With its sumptuous interior, snarling V8 and just under 14,000 miles done, it’s a veritable bargain. The current owner says that the owner’s manual and two keys are included with the sale.
For those seeking a European luxury car, the default options from Mercedes-Benz and BMW spring to mind. Audi and Volvo are there too. But what if you want something British? Well, that’s where the Jaguar XJ comes into the fray. The XJ model came about in 1968, and was the last Jag to have been designed by the company’s founder, Sir William Lyons. For decades, the XJ was known to retain old-school charm and styling cues, until a totally new design debuted in 2010. Called the X351 generation, this was a remarkable departure from the template and really raised eyebrows. Soon enough, people realized that the X351 was a fine car that totally improved in nearly every way over its predecessor, and really took the luxury car fight to the Germans. Today, we’ve got a 2017 Jaguar XJR for sale from Cincinnati, Ohio, with a scant 13,689 miles to its name. Oh, and supercharged machine has recently received a service.
One of Jaguar Car’s sleekest and most timeless modern models with definite future classic status has got to be the first-generation XK. This grand tourer was made between 1996 and 2006 before the second generation took over. It was intended to replace the long-running XJS, and did so in a pretty comprehensive fashion. Offered in coupe and convertible forms, the XK could be had with six or eight cylinder power. Naturally, the latter is what most people want, and it’s what we have here. Behold, a 2003 Jaguar XK8 Coupe that’s got under 131,000 healthy miles to its name. That is an indicator of two things. One, this is a car that is very nice indeed to drive. Two, it’s built well, and if maintained properly, can easily double that figure in your hands. Your hands? Yes, this charismatic purring cat is up for sale in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The last car to be personally developed by Jaguar Cars founder Sir William Lyons, the XJ first appeared in 1968. Then, it continued with the same basic shape, but received thorough modernization throughout the years. Today, the word most apt for a classic XJ like this 1994 Jaguar XJ6, is timeless. Timeless elegance and class is what you’ll get with this 150,926-mile luxury car from Alburquerque, New Mexico that’s now up for grabs. Don’t worry about the mileage, with the right maintenance, these cars can go on and on…and on. Plus, a car like this is ideal for relaxing, lowering your blood pressure and easing your stress. It’s one of those things that old British luxury cars are great at accomplishing.
Are you yearning for a modern British grand tourer from a renowned automaker with a V8 under the hood? If so, look no further than this X150-series 2014 Jaguar XK from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This car comes with an uber-low mileage of just 7,750 miles on the odometer, and is a one-owner vehicle. The X150 era of the XK was produced between 2006 and 2015, with over 27,000 examples made during that time. Now, these cars are gracefully aging and starting to look even better, especially when you consider today’s cookie-cutter EVs and soulless PHEVs. This car also comes with some nice 20-inch Orona 8-spoke polished wheels and is a drop-top!
The finest luxury car in the world for many, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is right up there. It’s a trend-setter, a conversation starter, and the final automotive frontier for many. Once you’ve got an S-Class in your life, you know that you’ve made it in life. Plus, if you don’t want the latest one that’s decked out with screens to the hilt, there are always Golden Oldies to select. Examples like this 2000 Mercedes-Benz S 430 from the W220 era of 1998 to 2005. This particular example packs a 4.3-liter V8 within its sleek black body, and offers a comfortable, button and knob-heavy interior in beige. With only more than 13,000 miles on the clock, you can buy this Palm Beach-based car right now if you desire. The original owner’s manual plus two keys are included with the sale.
Quick, don your tuxedo and set your GPS to Roswell, where you can pick up this silver 2019 Aston Martin DB9 and make it yours. Even though the DB9 didn’t feature in a Bond film, it’s definitely worthy of being the superspy’s car. With those sleek lines and unmistakable Aston Martin design features, the DB9 was produced between 2004 and 2016. It came with that superb 5.9-liter (incorrectly called a 6.0-liter due to judicious rounding up) V12 under the hood, as well as a finely crafted interior. Our subject car has all those tantalizing features, and a super low 13,172 miles on the clock! Could you get a better deal than this? Likely not.
This 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL 550 Roadster represents the R231 generation of Mercedes-Benz’s iconic luxury grand touring convertible. Showing just 10,088 miles, this example blends advanced engineering with refined styling and impressive performance. The SL-Class has long been known for combining sports car capability with luxury touring comfort, and the R231 generation introduced a lighter aluminum-intensive body structure along with modern technology and driver assistance features. Finished in striking Mars Red, this SL 550 delivers both visual presence and the smooth, powerful driving experience expected from Mercedes-Benz’s flagship roadster.
