For 2001, I would consider the Jaguar XJR the top sedan made in the world. You can argue the BMW and Mercedes V12 of 2001, but neither were as capable car as the XJR. For 01 Mercedes used a smaller and 2 cam V12 compared the their much better 48V 400HP previous and the later twin turbo of today. The 750IL had pretty much ran its course and had no where the power the XJR did. Yes this was the top sedan for 2001.
With the 4 Liter Supercharged V8, the sleek XJR Has 370HP and 390Ft Lbs of torque, making the car quite capable. The body style is arguable the best sedan body Jaguar has ever produced, much more than the bloated late models that are getting "rave" reviews in the negative manner.
The XJR is a pretty low production car to begin with. To make that even more rare, Jaguar offered the rare and desired R1 option for a mere $5700.00 on top of the 70k+ base price. The R1 had the BBS 18" wheels and the large Brembo brakes with Cross drilled Rotors. The suspension was also tuned different than the base. Being that it was $5700.00 makes it very hard to find and often misunderstood as aftermarket. It is not that at all. Personally it makes the car in every manner. I would not consider an XJR unless it was an R1 optioned car.
Other things the XJR comprised of was the 9 speaker Alpine Stereo System with Factory Alpine Subwoofer and optional Navigation. This car has the $1700 Navigation option too making it an "every box" checked car. This car also has a 5th BBS R1 wheel with it. The owner insisted on a full size spare as these cars had a cheap one. This is a $1K wheel with a $400 tire that has never touched the ground.
This particular example has 44K miles and is a one owner Texas car. It was sold and serviced by Momentum in Houston. It is 100% no excuse, no repaint and always garaged. All the "I's" are dotted and the "T's" are crossed on this one. It is a turn key car, as close to buying brand new as it gets. It is for the most discriminating buyer that wants the best of the best in this body style. The Tires are all new for you and 1600.00 Michelin Pilots. All service is done and documented. To really put it over the edge, the car also has an extended warranty good until 2009 or 93,000 miles. This is as good as the factory new warranty and was a very expensive investment by the original owner and is 100% transferable. Essentially it is as good as buying an 06 Jaguar with factory Warranty.
The car needs nothing, and will make the best of the best used car purchases. Have no fear in buying this car site unseen. What you see in the photos looks as good, if not better in person. If you are in Dallas, please feel free to come and drive it. Its quite impressive.
