  • Built in Britain killed in America

  • The faggot that masterminded that plan should be killed drinking this crap they put in the engines

  • I'd like to say that it was Obama who signed the bill...3 years into his presidency and people are still blaming Bush? Laaaammmmee!!! *btw I'm am not a dubya supporter either* The worst part is whoecer did this probably got a kia or some piece of crap

  • I think the real idiot is the former owner who knew perfectly what was going to happen to this fine car for which he or she received a supposed discount of 4500 USD, proving to be quite retarded when it comes to business, all those people accepting this nonsense regulation in such passive way are the dangerous ones, they have no perpective and swallow whatever bullshit they are told, good luck America!

  • Godamn it, these are soooo nice to drive and have tons of power

  • From, a consumer standpoint, it seemed like such a great deal. Seeing this big cat get mercilessly put down like this though...it just breaks my heart. I can't imagine that this was the kind of car they were expecting people to trade in under the "Clunkers" program. What a terrible waste.

  • Hey MORONS- wake up & smell the coffee: this was a DUBYA program, so don't blame President Obama for something that was already set up when he took office. (President Obama LIKES decent cars: his ride before being elected was a C300.)

  • @MrNorthernRed Bush was a piece of shit but don't be distorting history here... 0bama was president, and 0bama gleefully promoted the Socialist C4C program. If in fact this program were set up under the Bush administration 0bama could have stopped the program, but he didn't. 0bama is the green president- not Dubya... Stupid Libs...Can't even pin the tail on the real donkey!

  • Fucking wow, Get a good look kids, this is where the country is headed, same place as these cars, in the trash.

  • Absolutely one of the most stupid things I've seen. A perfectly good engine ruined. This car could have been sold and used by someone.... many folks out there who need a decent vehicle. Probably got better gas mileage than what it was traded in for! Especially a "high end" vehicle such as was in this video. Not a solution to the economy nor energy use...we need CHANGE, but not this! Sick & disgusting.

  • I have one just like this, same color interior and exterior. They are beautiful works of art that are surprisingly very efficient. I get 22 or so mpg in mine. This one got the boot just because it was a V8 and stereotyped by tree huggers. What a terrible waste... The car is worth at least 6k in good shape. Idk, looked like it was in good shape to me. The previous owner should be shot.

    Probably replaced with a super classy Toyota Pious, I mean Prius...

  • Stop killing the cars, rather kill the drivers

  • with the exception of the driver, thanks for showing some respect for what was a nice car =(

  • When I was a kid I used to play a game called "Super Trunfo" - that's a card game which you have some of the car's specs and you challenge your opponent by saying one of the specific spec. There was a Jaguar XJ8 on it and it was my dream to have one of these. I see this and I have to agree: WHY THE FUCK??? =\

  • eveybody know that americans destroy everything thats why its called the united states of assholes!!!!

  • FUCK YOU OBAMA!!!!!!!!! this is totally UNAMERICAN!!! GO live and preach your communist shit elsewhere, destroying the engines in this manner is fuckin stupid

  • @piranha731 not the governments fault. It's the idiot owners fault

  • So let me get this right, America (being English I'm not about to pretend to know) has a scheme whereby end of life vehicles are destroyed (with proof) to pave the way for an exorbitant amount of energy and resources to be used to make a heap of 90% "recycled" hybrid plastic shitboxes to stimulate engineering and therefore the economy? Ok so I'll go make a battery powered road legal go cart, and in it's honour, I'll torch a Camaro......

  • "So generic idiot, what did you get for trading in your XJ8?" "Oh, i got a Hyundai Accident 3-door." He could have sold it himself and gotten more than $4.5k for it.

  • Another stupid crime of OBAMA

  • love these cars fucking idiots

  • Was there anything wrong with it??? I know Jags are very expensive to repair, and are prone to electrical problems.

  • OH GOD I AM SICK

  • I'm not wasted my time as i show this video. Good Job!

  • Old classic cars is my life, and after seeing this makes me really sad.

  • omg i would not i wold refuse

  • Fuel economy? Western world makes me sick. I love seeing people in Asia or Africa drive their old mercedes or toyora for like a million kilometers, cause they are way more efficient in using their vehicle, and if there's a problem, mostly everybody can fix it for cheap. In the west we live in disposal society, cars we see as " scrap ready " still drive for years in poorer countrues.

  • This makes me sick- wait til healthcare...

  • I hate this, there destroying a $60,000 cars like this one.

  • They could have given that car to someone that needs it.

  • This was most uneconomic and unecologic move ever, destroying perfectly good cars (especially state of art like this one) and shipping crap from Asia…

  • Thanks for posting these. Im going to purpously drive my clunker 10MPG 1980 bonneville with 220,000 miles and leaks oil.

  • Yes, but the Amercans didn't limit the origin of the car, did they? The Japanese did, They didn't give allowance on American cars, but the Americans allowed Japanese cars into the programme, and I seem to remember that more than 50% of the new cars sold was manufactured outside the U.S., or at least foreign brands produced in the U.S. The Americans should save themselves and bring as much cash into U.S. econ. as possible and let this programme stimulate buying American cars with lower emmision.

  • Hang on. Its not the governments fault this car was scrapped. It was the person who traded it in! I guess that as with UK scrappage the majority of cars traded in under cash for clunkers will have been fit for scrap. In the UK scrappage got our factories back to full production at a time when the market was tanking.

  • R,I,P ,

  • I really don't get it. You seize the engine in all these cars, to prevent a similar sceme as in Germany, where 75k cars were exported to Africa & E-Europe were VIN-no's are of little importance. But at least it gave fresh cash into german economy, and that was what it was all about. If the Gvm just would let things go as they often do, they would have had a huge PROFIT on this programme, not a 2000$ LOSS on every car..it's like seeing new houses being torn in the US instead of dropping prices.

  • WTF?? This is insane!! Handbuilt artwork on four wheels from Coventry, and you DESTROY it?? U Americans along with the fundamentalistic religious people are the reason this world is fucked up. U get what, 5k $ for trading in a car like that in the name of better MPG? An XJ8 doesn't consume more than the new cars in this programme 13-14 litres/ 100km average. Recycling is the solution, not sabotage & destroying perfectly good material like this. I would have had that car shipped to Norway for 5K$

  • OBAMA NEEDS TO GET THE HELL OUT OF THIS WHOLE COUNTRY AND ALOT OF THINGS WOULD BE BETTER WITHOUT HIM.

  • NOOOOOOOOO<:-_ ((((((((((((((((((((

  • :-(((((((((((((

  • @manbimmer553 ya,its awful and cruelity act destroying jaguars

  • Killing motors this way and why. They're polluting too much and then they got to be destroyed with that way, well that's not polluting. Total ass, maybe should get public transportation to better or so, not killing rare cars etc.

  • aaaaaaahhh nooooo poor jaguar<:-_(

  • What kind of idiot would do this to a Jag? Send it off to be killed for a measly $4500? It was probably worth more than that. And they probably replaced it with a Toyota.

  • This made me cry

  • @afghanmanyeah Agreed, a program of destruction to encourage people to spend more money and prop up a system that requires spending money. It doesn't save the envioment to waste the resources we currently have, its about as sensible as emptying your swimming pool into the drain to save water.

    :(

  • this pisses me off so much, probably cost 60000 pounds over here new, built just down the road from me too. How "green" is it to build a car out of raw materials, ship it across the atlantic, only to destroy it when its got another 10 or 20 years left in it so some idiot can trade it in for a fucking kia or some shit. Can't stand this wastefulness, whoever came up with this programme and whoever traded in this jag can get fucked.

  • @afghanmanyeah I had two of these X300s and they were ALOT more reliable than both my 2001 728i and my 1994 525i were..... Jags are nicer looking too!!!

  • I took one of these on trade at my dealership (I'm a salesman) and we ended up selling it for 12 grand. Trade in value was up there. This seems stupid.

  • That car cost $60,000 back in 98, why would they destroy that car?

  • Is this an Al Qaeda recruitment video?

  • i think americans are animals...

  • Thats fucked up

  • Fucking cock tobbling muther raping bitch.

  • That is just sad.

  • There is no point. These idiot owners were to lazy to sell it used, and they murdered a motoring icon. That car does 155 mph, and won the Top Gear motoring survey. And it's a beautiful blue. And how is putting $4500 towards a new Honda good for the US economy? It isn't. This was a pointless plan, and we couldn't afford a useless project like this. Thanks for destroying an irreplaceable car, Mr Orack Baramba.

  • i voed for Mc Cain not the dumb monkey thats in office

  • WTF UP HERE RAPING CARS

  • americani siete solo degli ignoranti !!! vi meritate di andare in falliento totale

  • ignoranti bastardi , americani di merda .....la dimostrazione di che ignoranti siete

  • @owbeyonn I borrowed a Daimler version of this car from a friend for the weekend. I tell you if we had the money to spare, and he was to sell the car, we would have brought it. A beautiful, well built car. I want one, I want one now. You're right, how can you do this to a Jaguar. They show no respect. At least there is another Kia Tosspot/Hyundai Fuchwit on the road instead!

  • I do not understand ... why people throw away gems like this, to get a new car?! You'll see my dear Americans, the day will come when you cry for the fact that you have destroyed many of these masterpieces - the myths of automotive history. And why? To make space for new "trash" is not built like once the cars were built but with amazing cost cutting, and that will last a little over time.

  • @68yello What you don't realize is that most Americans think the Cash for Clunkers program is bullshit as well. I cringe when I see shit like this happen to nice cars like a respectable jaguar.

  • Send it to south America for free!! i want that car...so i think sometimes, GOD gives bread to who´s don´t have teeth!!

    Fuck idiots over the earth..

  • @Renocuatro I think you like these cars. Good on you!

  • How does someone not get $4500 for this car?

  • One of my favorite cars. . . killed. . . fuck!

  • SAD, Hard to watch...

  • they had to do it by law. we had to do it at our dealership too. it hurts you deep in the chest to do it or watch it.

  • is that Get it on, Bang-a-Gong i hear playing at the end of the clip?

  • esto es un insulto hacia los amantes de los coches y un insulto a la sociedad en general que nos demuestra una vez mas que algunos seres humanos son el colmo del materialismo.bonita forma de machacar 50.000 dolares.

  • if that car isnt american then its a pile of crap.

  • @cody4622 Only the Japanese cars are pieces of crap! European and American cars are beautiful!

  • @cody4622 thats a prestige car.You yanks don`t make cars that good.

  • you can thank the shit democrats and that asshole all you people who voted for obummer for president

  • there is no fucking way i could ever do that to such a pristine ride

  • Worst program EVER!! Fuck OBAMA!!!! You could have "Stimulated" the economy more by reconditioning these vehicles and have them sold! Thus making more money for the "Economy"................This Is Sickening!

  • @SintaxOne Totally Agree With You,Cash For Clunkers Program Can Eat A Dick,Shit Half The Cars There Destroying Are Better Than Mine!!!!

  • @SintaxOne You spoke to soon "cash for appliances" has come and gone and thats why the economy is getting better (sure it is just watch the news) The next one is "cash for brains" just bring your brains to an authorized dealer and they will pour that stuff in your ears and when it's done you will have better brains.. one that does not question the american government.

  • @SintaxOne That's what happens when you get a primate in charge of your country, FUCKING NIGGERS!!

  • what the hell are you doing??? Do you not know there is a market for parts etc, but just to blow up the engine like that is so sad.

  • There is absolutely NO HOPE for this world when we as a society do things like this!!!

    Too stupid for words!!!

    When will society say enough is enough to politicians about programs like this.

  • This is fucking stupid, I live in the UK are you Americans still doing this stupid program? These cars could be used by people who need them.........

  • The resell value on that Jag had to be worth more then the $3500 cash for clunkers price. at least $7000 - $10.000 the was just abusing the program and stupidity at it's finest a moment of silence for the Jag please......!

  • This is such a retard way of disabling (great) cars. Really stupid.

  • @vangestelwijnen he`saying how sad it is,but he`s not.

  • HOW the fuck could the owner have the heart???? I couldn't bring my self to do it if that was my car...so sad....

  • @TheNextIronChef He/ she more than likely did not know what was going to happen to it.

  • probly stolen

  • Who was the moron that turned that in? He must of had his head up his butt when he did.

  • That is a real shame, what a lovely car to have destroyed. If I worked in that garage I would buy it and sell it on. They tried a similar scheme in the UK to help out Vauxhall and Ford because their overpriced new cars didn't sell. It was a total failure in the UK. No requirement to disable the engine.

  • jesteście pojebani. nie chce mi się pisać po angielsku, jeśli komuś z was zechce się dowiedzieć co napisałem to może zmienię zdanie. zacieranie pięknego jaga to czysta profanacja, w dupach wam się przewraca

  • its kbb is only 4,700. depending on options. So really, they didnt get a bad deal on it, BUT still, come on...

  • Fu_k_ng Moronic idiots......

  • Man, that was tough to watch. Hope it was worth the crappy $3500 you got....

  • I dont understand this? I had a 2003 XJ8 and was getting 24mpg highway and about 20mpg city. This car is not a clunker. Bet that civic behind it only gets 30mpg highway and thats the kind of vehicle this Jag is being traded for. 6mpg more vs a Jaguar.......... NO!!

  • they should call it cash for wankers

  • they need to do this with ALL of these ugly cars jags suck there good for nothing

  • I mean sure obama is black and its a

    Great milestone in american history but only someone who is a true careless jackass would sign on this.

  • that brought a tear to my eye.

  • My God!?

  • What BS.

  • this was extremely painful to watch

  • Free country!!!!!!! People no one forced this idiot to trade it for a shity smaller car

  • @michigo1188 is that what happens?Really though?Well i suppose in Britain they use Jags occaisonally as bangers for racing in but really old ones and even then its a bit of a shame.

  • DAMN!! That's shameful!

  • What a crying shame!

  • Welcome to communism. No more cheap cars.

  • The same FUCKING IDIOTS who thought up this program are going to be in control of your HEALTH CARE! THIS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS OUT OF CONTROL!

  • i'm not a fan of jag,but i'm a petrolhead and that's just HURTS!!!

  • shit i buy it.sell it to me.

  • Comment removed

  • This is what happens when you vote for a socialist clown Barry Soetoro !

  • I believe this isn't all the government's fault. Its fucking greedy ass americans too.

    this program should have been optimized to be true, valid clunkers rather than cars that were purposely destroyed.

  • this is disgusting it really is i watched a video of a 95 trans am go silent in 7 seconds such a huge waste thats gonna bite the government in the ass in years to come

  • omfg, it's a crime.

  • @LT72053 hey obama didint do nothing wong its cash for clunkers not a 98 jag. dont h8 on obama h8 on the nigger that traded that car in obama said clunkers like my old 91 s10 with 230000m on it i got 2000 out of the pos

  • @LT72053 OH MY FUCKING GOD - it's a car dude - get over it.

  • nice shit man it lookd good

  • I think one of the stips to this program should have been the owner having to watch the car be destroyed that would have made things a little different i bet

  • Sounds like a bunch of morons here, do any of you even own a Jag. I have a '98 XJ8 and it is a heap of shit. If it were a '99 or later, maybe you could talk, but the '98 is garbage. I wish I could have gotten the cash for clunkers for it, but it wasn't continually insured for a full year.  The fact that you blame Obama for someone trading a Jag, shows you don't have much sense.

  • Yeah, Owned 6 now in Britain and now have the 2005 XJR and my wifes Xkr, So know a little more than you my old Burger bun.

  • Oh i am sorry we didnt come to ur aid quick enough and thats becuase America wanted to stay neutral in the war just becuase the enlgish got them selfs in another war right after ww1 thats not Americas prob is it...No its not and if it wasnt for America even the mighty red army would of been taken down by Germany and im done talking about stupid shit becuase i respect the Brits the most out of any other people in the world except the Americans but i hate when people talk shit about America

  • shut it you tramp shagger,your brains are fried. Go stack your shelves.

  • What do you mean WE?. YOUR SKINNY RAT ARSE WOULD NEVER BE WITHIN 7000 MILES OF COMBAT YOU JERK. Even the Salvation Army refused you because of your lack of bottle.

  • OI asshole.... Married 2 kids living on my own.... Maybe ur the lil cock who is living with his bitch ass momma living on the dole and spends it all on pot and booze... Fuck off you little prick..... and grow up your making Britain look bad you fucking chav.

  • Living on your own to your right hand and Chav is a word that makes me say you are a poor Brit with no hope.and making out you are a yank.

  • LOL your a fucking idiot... Its a pitty you didnt die in the Falklands Or better yet in Northern Ireland with your big mouth..... Go drive your saxo into a wall you cock. Oh and if you been in the army were was your stupid fucking ass yesterday for the afghan tribute..... You was probably sat at home like a bitch.

  • Food slop slag with no brain

  • I dont need to make the U.K. look bad we have an unelected Scottish Cunt and you Americans that do it nice and put the whole world against us for decades you cock.

  • Still working at Walmart on the dogshit yard cleaning detail?.

    Bet the kids are your best mates whilst you was wanking in the loo.

  • @MrTrouble1K its only a POS because of the nikasil engine liners try and find a 95-97 X300 best year for jaguar

  • Typical American cunts No Class. Thank god for Vietnam and Iraq and Afganistan to kill the slags off.

  • @k80nya fuck you man we dont hate on your fucking country douchebag. u dont know how hard we fight to defend this country and for you to sit on your ass and type on a computer you must feel so superior. go fight in a war and then come tell me how easy it is. go suck your moms dick you inbred douchebag

  • Man don't worry its just a cock moaning cus its a british car getting ruined and he is from britan.

  • American thicko works minimum wage living with fear and crime.

  • Gamer, Thats all you do whilst your momma pays for your food and cleans up after you and your jobless hangers on who steal the food and drink that your poor momma bought, OHH and I bet you abuse her with your gob.

  • Hey Yankee slag, Served in Northern Ireland whilst you American slags funded the killing of the british civilians and troops, Also served in a place your brain could not know called the Falklands.

    Maybe if the Brits had funded some terror in your muddled up shithole of a nation you might understand a little more sonny.

    The only terror you have had so far is Pearl Harbour and the Twin Towers and you now have the whole world against us.

  • First off yes i am a big Jag person and a American how fucking dare you call America a muddled up shithole of a nation, America could beat the living shit out of England, you would have no fucking chance and we are the only fucking superpower in the world so....ya i think America is no Shithole of a Nation

  • Shut up you idiot and do some research and learn you fucking slumdog burgerpacker, England is the size of New York and still owned your stupid arses for years even though we were 6000 miles away.

    Go to Iraq and join your gung ho troops and get maimed.

  • You never read my message you Plank, Northern Ireland and the Falklands you fucking coward.

  • Ok you Fuck lets think about whats going on about 60 years ago if we didnt save your fucking asses you would be speaking German right now and lets not talk about how you owned the US about 300 fucking years ago. The sun set on England a long fucking time ago, as the old saying goes the sun never sets on England but it did! So next time the UK needs help i really hope the US tells England NO so maybe you might have to fight for your safety like we do.

  • Shut up cunty and go fuck your momma

  • Hey mr slag thicky wank stain, It took you lot 3 years to suss out the game and it was the Japs that had to wake you from your lazy american sleep to get your boots on whilst our Spitfires were keeping us safe, Ohh and by the way Your P51 Mustang had to be powerered by a ROLLS ROYCE MERLIN TO MAKE IT WORK YOU WANKER.

  • there was a 93 f150 at one of the dealerships i live by it had 50000 original miles on it and it took over 20 minutes before it finally quit running

  • did u at least keep the jag that was on the hood???

  • just sad... but the fuel bill for a V8 is out of the reach of those in the price range of this car, so...

  • You Americans have no idea, Fuel in the U.K is now £1.18 per litre and we can still run V8 motors.

  • This car soes not fit the description as a clunker. A 1972 Ford F100 completely rusted to hell, with straight 6 that has a rod knock, is a clunker. People are idiots.

  • i would much rather quit my job then ruin good cars

  • oh my god. your stupid program is just a way of making people ruin their european cars and buy new american ones

  • @jetblasttttttttttttt you meant "buy new chinese ones"

  • @viktorfalco ummm what? i said european. dumbass.

  • @jetblasttttttttttttt jaguars suck anyway. good riddance to a pathetic car...

  • @mattio79 says a yank who cant afford one and buys crappy plastic american cars instead

  • @mattio79

    you can't afford a Jag so go ahead and keep driving your american or jap crap pal~!~!

  • @jetblasttttttttttttt It had nothing to do with country of origin. It was to get all cars getting less than 30 mpg off the road. European merely got caught in the mix and destroyed along with everything else. Thank Obama, he came up with this fiasco.

  • @jetblasttttttttttttt look on any american car, it says "Made In China" LOL

  • That does not fit the description of "clunker"

  • These are the types of americans that are so fucking STUPID If I see the guys, I'm gonna cut their fucking dicks off, rape themn up their asses and clip everysingle one of their teeth and them swallow it then stitch uptheir mouth and slit their throats!

  • These guys aren't to blame, blame Obama for making them do it.

  • Like your style me old mate, Show those thick Yanks what class is.

    Ive even heard that a thick yank bought Tower Bridge as a timeshare and was even promised tea with the Queen for £400.000. Dicks.

  • I would of paid $4K for that car !!! What a waste !!!

  • i wanna buy this car lol

  • apon watching the death of a cadillac, and bmw... and still shocking himself with each video....only one thing to say....

    NOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOO NOT THE JAG! NOOOOOOOO OMG! HAND BUILT! OMFG

    *CRIES*

  • aw im gonna cry and i'm not even a euro fan :(

  • WOW!!!! i cant believe my eyes, such a sweet car gone to waste
