This is the seventh Jaguar XJ8 offered in the two years I’ve been blogging on CarMax unicorns – a 2009 XJ8 L with only 46,000 miles – all in New Mexico. You either like these old school Jaguars and they make you nostalgic, or you think they’re dated and deserved to be extinct. I happen to like them as an almost retro, comfortable highway cruiser, albeit with only 300 hp from the 4.2 liter V-8, and few modern features. It’s the British Mercury Grand Marquis, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
This one is a bit high priced at $20,998 (cheapest was this 2007 at $14,998) and yet if you like it, and even better, if you like getting a five year 100,000 mile MaxCare warranty on a 10 year old extinct luxury car, perhaps it’s for you. We’ll see how long this one is on the market. It opened at $19,998 and was bumped up $1,000 the next day. On the other hand, the last one I tracked here spent more than a year on CarMax lots from Florida to California (never dropping in price from $18,998!) and only vanished last week.
Find this three owner 2009 Jaguar XJ8 L here in Albuquerque, NM. CarMax only sells European cars not more than 10 years old, and this X350 model only ran through 2009, so this is the final year to find these with the MaxCare warranty!
