1993 Jaguar XJ6 4.0 six cylinder from North America
Summary:
Great car, buy used, great deal
Faults:
Replaced front brakes, pads and shocks, fuel fail/23 light came on, went off. Head light comes loose over rough bumps, just push it back, lock on one rear door sticks a bit, just needs to be lubed I'm sure.
General Comments:
Car really has been very good to me, great balance, people love it.
Pretty good in snow, no real issues at all, has enough ground clearance to get me through mud season.
I have a local guy that loves Jags and works on them for a reasonable rate. Stunningly beautiful car, just handsome as all hell. Sits in a corner very nicely.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

This man obviously bought a cheap Jaguar not that appeared to be in good running order. If you don't have the money to take care of a jag don't whine about service costs. I had an 88' XJ6 and it cost me $6000 a year. Also driving a vehicle over 100MPH isn't a great way to keep it in shape. Everyone knows that Jags aren't more expensive to buy, but to maintain, also the 88'-94' XJ6 was built on the now infamous XJ40 frame is notorious for having problems especially in the electrical and computer systems. Also, Jaguars that are properly maintained are quite fast and nimble for their size. my 88' took 7.1 seconds to get to 60MPH which is actually faster then the manufacturer's listed time of 7.4. In conclusion, this is a classic case of somebody buying something and not truly knowing what they were getting themselves into.
