Is the car lien you're showing valid?
You're showing that my car that I'm trying to sell has a lien; however, I have the title. Loan was paid off. I guess the lien you're showing is incorrect?

2008 Jaguar XJ-Series Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
For 2008, this third generation of the Jaguar XJ-series gets a mild reskin but remains mechanically the same, offering two wheelbases and five trim levels. In the front, a new bumper with upper and lower air intake mesh grills, "power vents" behind the front wheels, and new style mirrors that integrate the turn signals. In back, the reskin involves a new bumper, smaller trunk spoiler, and new tips for the tailpipes.
Engine offerings remain either the normally aspirated 4.2-liter V8 spinning out 300 hp or the XJR performance version with a supercharger that puts out 400 hp. Both engines mate to the wonderfully efficient six-speed ZF automatic transmission.
With the 2004 makeover, this latest XJ generation received an all-aluminum body wrapped around a stiff, lightweight aluminum frame. This tight structure forms the foundation for the XJ's competent, nimble handling. With an adaptive air suspension, this makes for a comfortable ride no matter what road conditions confront the driver. In the performance XJR and Super V8 trim lines, the higher horsepower, larger wheels, and more aggressively tuned suspension provide for an exhilarating driving experience.
The 2008 interior offers much more rear-passenger space with ample head and legroom. The front seats are well designed with excellent lower thigh, back, and lumbar support. The cabin features extensive leather, burl wood trim, and chrome. The XJ series offers the largest trunk in the Jaguar line. Some reviewers, however, were not satisfied with the traditional British sense of ergonomics finding some of the instrument layouts "illogical."
The British have stuck to the traditional design of the XJ in spite of the new automotive designs that their Japanese and German competitors are offering. In the view of several reviewers, this bias toward traditional styling while keeping up with technological innovations under the skin, might work against Jaguar sales at a time when it can ill afford such declines.

Sport Luxury at its finest. Compare to M5 and e450 , The Jag wins easily with an interior that coddles you in leather and wood, and 5 inches of extra legroom in back (picnic tables optional) ! Heated and cooled seats, 4 zone AC, DVD players in headrest, the Jag spares no expense. Super garaged 4.2 liter that gets good gas mileage..Mar 09, 2022

An absolutely spectacular driving machine! Beautiful in every way. Perfect handling, FAST and responsive. Very quiet and luxurious. I was lucky to find this perfectly maintained automobile with flawless attention to detail in the maintenance. Literally, the only thing I am doing is changing the tires for road safety.Aug 07, 2020

I bought my 2008 XJ8L with zero miles on it and at 2,500 miles I started having what some web sites refer to as "the lurch". When I come to a rolling stop I feel a thump as the transmission downshifts from 2nd to 1st gear. It's not like the car wont run, but it's so irritating that I no longer enjoy driving the car. It's not what I would call a pleasant experience after just 2,500 miles for a $70K car. The car is now at the dealership for the second time. If they can't fix the problem after this second trip to the dealership I'm going to ask them to buy the car back from me.
I LOVE the look of the car from the outside, and the inside. It's distictive (doesn't look like a jelly bean like so many other cars) and dignified (the dashboard doesn't look like a boom box). But the transmission issue leaves me cold. Jan 29, 2008

What users have asked
Air suspension
My 08 xj8 is sitting very low in the front. I had an air suspension diagnostic done and the mechanic told we hear a air leak hiss coming from front right bag. Question is with bad rear bags would that lay the front down as a safty mechanisms? I am getting air suspension fault and car too low warning lights.

Sometimes car jumps in low gear
When I start driving or slow down and go again it jumps for few meters . could be a shortage in transmission fluid ?
