1997 Jaguar XJ6 4.0 litre from North America
Summary:
Very classy, two-ton vehicle
Faults:
Automatic ZF transmission failed at just 81k miles. $3,200 cost to rebuild.
Also, the engine runs in open loop only, so pollution sensors do not work and the car fails inspection.
General Comments:
High quality build. Reliable in-line 6 cyl engine. Very good quality parts (except for transmission). Old school technology, but has OBD II diagnostics. Most parts easily gotten on eBay.com. Safety in a crash. Some dealers no longer have mechanics who are familiar with the workings of this car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Love these cars. One of Jaguar's best :)
You'll have to find an independent specialist to look after it though - as you said dealers might not be much help with this car.
