Jaguar’s flagship saloon
Sleek and powerful with classic British flair, the XJ luxury saloon has been Jaguar’s flagship model since 1970. Massive investment from Ford in the mid 1990s led to higher levels of quality, reliability and performance rivaling the most luxurious German and Japanese competition.
Beautiful and highly competitive
Ford-induced improvements first became apparent in 1997 with Jaguar’s introduction of the XJ series known as the X308 (1997-2003). Not only did this series match or surpass the competition in terms of power, ride quality, handling and luxury, but it received the prestigious L’Automobile piu Bella del Mondo (Most Beautiful Car in The World) award in Milan.
Choose the XJR for high performance
The standout model in the series is the high-performance XJR with supercharged 4.0-liter V8 engine (AJ-V8) that hits 60 mph (97 km/h) from a standstill in 5 seconds flat! Amazingly quick for a large luxury vehicle, it was one of the fastest cars of any genre in its day. 370 bhp (276 kW; 375 PS) of horsepower and 387 lb⋅ft (525 N⋅m) of torque supply intoxicating power that presses you against the seat. Yet, legendary Jaguar engine refinement keeps the engine running smoothly and quietly at all speeds.
The engine is mated with a Mercedes-Benz 5G-Tronic five-speed automatic transmission that’s more heavy duty than the transmissions on other XJ models, none of which offer manual transmissions. Handling is solid and ride quality is good, thanks to a sports-tuned suspension with independent rear setup and disc brakes.
Imported from Japan
This gorgeous silver 2001 XJR with rounded four-headlamp hood and cast alloy wheels was obtained by Japan Car Direct in Japan, exported to Poland and presented as a gift to the purchaser’s father on Christmas day! You can tell it’s an XJR by the black window trim, wider wheels and tires, more refined radiator grille, rear XJR badge — and of course a supercharged 4.0-liter V8 under the hood. There are 110,080 kilometers on the odometer, but this vehicle was well cared for and XJRs tend to last and last, so the father in Poland should enjoy many years of long, luxurious trips.
The gray all-leather interior is roomy, elegant and superbly crafted with luxurious chrome and walnut touches as expected from a British luxury car. Its ample features include comfortable front seats bolstered on the sides for solid support, automatic climate control, a central entertainment system, and automatic headlight levelling and illumination. Plenty of space is available for groceries and luggage both here and in the cavernous trunk, which provides a high opening lid for easy access.
Outstanding value
Used Jaguar XJ and XJR models from the X308 series are currently available at excellent prices that make them considerably less expensive than Maserati Quattroportes in similar condition, and a better deal than many used BMW 7-series, Mercedes S-class and Audi A8 models from the same era. Jaguars also offer more luxurious trim.

JCD was able to accommodate my unique needs, everything from short turn around inspections, expert opinions on bidding, arranging quick turn shipping, and handling of docs. I have no reservations sending more tens of thousands of dollars for future imports. At the end of the day, they really wanted to make me a happy customer. read less

Mike Nguyen was super patient with me and my indecisiveness. He was very quick to respond, and very informative on all my questions. He helped my sort through options until landing a 1kz-te Land Cruiser Prado. It ended up being in better condition than I was anticipating, and was able to drive it 5 hours home from port without a single issue. Cannot recommend Japan Car Direct enough! read less

The detailed videos where Mike would translate and explain the Japanese auction sheets and inspections provided great clarification so I knew exactly what I was getting with my car. I have to also commend Mike's swiftness when it came to replying to emails and phone calls, he would always reply near on instantly and even outside of normal business hours just to ensure I was never left in the dark through the bidding and shipping preparation processes.
I could not recommend JCD enough for any potential self importers! read less

For me the back-and-forth communication was the reason why I decided to go with japancardirect. Being able to see the auction trucks that are coming out and getting a detailed translation of the auction sheet is awesome. At first, I was a little hesitant sending money for a car overseas that I haven't actually seen in person, but Mathew stayed with me even at times when I was less patient. Thanks for all the help you and your team provide. read less

Seeing the local retail prices gave me sticker shock, so I immediately thought there has to be a better way. Sure enough, that way is Japan Car Direct. Yoshi and team are knowledgeable, professional and responsive. They do what they say they are going to do before, during and after the transaction, they are in it for the long haul. The result of reviewing the auction listings and acquiring/importing yourself (with help from JCD) is substantial savings and the satisfaction of paying a fair price. It's also fun if you enjoy searching for and identifying great automotive values. Would not hesitate to recommend their services to others and I will be back for more vehicles in the near future. read less

They were super helpful with my first time importing a vehicle to the US and were quick to answer all of the first-time questions I had about the process. The vehicle I got was exactly as I expected based on the pre-bidding inspection that they organized and I am beyond thrilled with my new (to me) little van. I'll definitely be working with them again for the next vehicle I look to import read less
