1981 Jaguar Xj6 Base Sedan 4-door 4.2l No Reserve on 2040-cars
Glens Falls, New York, United States
|
For auction is a 1981 Jaguar XJ6. I bought this car about a year ago and have driven it up to a month ago. Car all of a sudden quit. The car had been running very nicely previously. I have tried to figure out the issue with no luck. Have replaced numerous relays and fuel pump. Cleaned grounds, electrical connections to no avail and replaced coil.. Car has fuel and spark. Power to the injectors, but doesn't seem to be activating injectors. Car starts briefly with ether. I am at my wits end with it and have spent enough time and money. Any mechanical suggestions would be welcome. I truly believe it is something relatively simple, but if you're familiar with Jaguars, you know they can be difficult. I am letting it go for a fraction of my investment. My loss is your gain. Car has current NYS inspection sticker. I have a clear title in hand. Car will have to be transported. I believe the car actually has 138k miles but does not show the digit on odometer. The GOOD: As stated the car ran well previously. No smoke or leaks. Transmission and drivetrain worked as they should. Brake are in good operating condition. Tires are matched Michelins with 50-60% tread. Car's interior was redone previously. Upolstery is in very nice condition. Exterior paint has good finish.Accesories all work except stated below. Done recently: New Battery,Spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, fuel and air filters, resonators from the cats back, sway bar link and bushings. I have maintenance folder from previous own, who owned car for years. It's about an inch thick. This guy didn't overlook anything. The NOT SO GOOD: The car does not start as previously stated. Odometer and speedometer are not working. AC and cruise control are inoperable. Paint has several small areas of bubbling. (pics) Passenger side floor pan is rusted through along rocker panel. Undercarriage has surface rust but all functional. Spare tire well solid. This is not a show car by any means, but was an excellent driver with potential to take it further if you chose. If you have questions, ask before you bid. I will not ship outside of US. Buyer is responsible for transport. Car is sold AS-IS DO NOT bid if you have less than 5 feedback record or under 89% positive feedback. I will cancel your bid. DO NOT waste my time. I have tried to be honest in my description. My feedback rating is quite reputable. |

Jaguar releases Desire short film starring F-Type and Damian Lewis
Wed, 24 Apr 2013After stoking the hype with a theatrical-style trailer, Jaguar has finally released the full-length version of its mini-movie, Desire, to help kick off the new 2014 Jaguar F-Type. Starring Homeland actor Damian Lewis across from the lovely Shannyn Sossamon, the film has been turned loose on YouTube after an initial debut at the Sundance London film and music festival.
Shot in Chile's rather breathtaking Atacama Desert, Desire is described by the producers as being "A story of betrayal, retribution, passion and greed." Lewis plays the lead role of Clark, a high-end car delivery guy (great work if you can get it), who runs into an unexpected, sexy mystery when shuttling the lovely F-Type to the middle of nowhere. Who could have guessed?
We won't spoil any of the not-exactly-serious 13-minute plot for you; scroll down below to see for yourself if the theatrical pomp and circumstance is worthy of Jag's newest roadster.
2023 J.D. Power APEAL Study shows new-car customer satisfaction scores slip
Thu, Jul 20 2023J.D. Power survey results have been slightly up but mostly down for automakers this year, literally. In February, the 2023 Vehicle Dependability Study showed an overall decline compared the 2022 a month before the Customer Service Index Study did the same. The trend reversed in June with a better overall score on the 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Consideration Study than in 2022, then declined again the same month on with a lower overall score on the 2023 Initial Quality Study. The declines continue with the 2023 J.D. Power U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, overall satisfaction among the 84,555 respondents down two points overall compared to 2022, to 845 out of 1,000 points. Because last year's score dropped compared to 2021, this year marks the first consecutive decline in the study's 28-year history. The study tries to "[measure] owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement with new vehicle" after 90 days of ownership by asking new owners to rate 37 attributes in 10 areas around the vehicle, such as the feeling they get when they hit the accelerator. Satisfaction with nine of the attributes is down this year versus last, fuel economy the only segment to show better results with 15 points more satisfaction. Styling and infotainment are big drags on satisfaction. Responses to new car exterior looks tallied 888 points, down from 894 last year, the largest drop in this year's study. On the digital side, less than half of those surveyed this year said they prefer using a manufacturer's built-in infotainment. From 70% of respondents in 2020 preferring to use a manufacturer's in-house software to play audio instead of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, that's 56% in 2023. Going all-in on Google appears to have the best effect. J.D. Power said that vehicles with both Google's Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS) and Google Automotive Services (GAS) "score higher in the infotainment category than those with no AAOS whatsoever. AAOS without GAS receives the lowest scores for infotainment of the three categories."Â Frank Hanley, senior director of auto benchmarking at J.D. Power, said, "Despite the technology and design innovations that manufacturers put into new vehicles, owners are lukewarm about them. While innovations like charging pads, vehicle apps and advanced audio features should enhance an owner’s experience, this is not the case when problems are experienced.
GM, Audi, Jaguar halt Russian sales amidst ruble's collapse
Fri, Dec 19 2014The value of Russia's ruble currency has sunk like a stone tossed in the Volga for much of the year, losing over 40 percent of its worth since June. The change is having bizarre effects on the auto industry there and leaving some automakers scrambling to adjust. According to Bloomberg, Russians are buying up luxury goods including automobiles at the moment to have a physical investment in case the ruble sinks further. However, with the money worth so little, the companies aren't making much from these transactions. Things are so dire that several automakers are temporarily ending deliveries until the situation stabilizes. According to Bloomberg, General Motors stopped sales on December 16 with no set date to start again. Audi did the same thing but with the intention to resume once it has adjusted model pricing. Jaguar Land Rover terminated business until December 19 to see how things changed. Toyota is increasing its pricing, as well, but keeping business open at the same time. Some automakers have subtly been reacting to the slumping Russian auto market all year. The moves have included Volkswagen cutting production by 30,000 units from its factory in Kaluga. Ford also got rid of 950 workers from two plants due to low demand. Some analysts have even speculated that the contracting industry and possibility of lower import duties into the country could cause companies to end their manufacturing in Russia completely.
