1996 Jaguar Xj6 Base Sedan 4-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Wilmington, Delaware, United States
|
Hey folks, I am selling my 1996 XJ6. It is British Racing Green with Coffee interior. I bought it from the original owner and it has 45,xxx miles on it. I worked out some bugs and did maintenance. Inside The interior is nearly perfect except for the headliner. The heated seats work, even the clock works properly. The center vent louvers are misaligned. The rest of the interior looks very good! The leather is in great condition all around. The dash is perfect. The wood is in very good condition, save for some nicks on the drivers wood from something hitting it frequently. The console wood is perfect. The sunroof works. A/C is cold and heat seems to work fine. It even has rear heated seats, a 96 only option with the cold weather package. There are no lights on the dash while driving. The powered seats work. All windows work. The headliner is coming down above the rear seats and above the sunvisors. Exterior Keep in mind, this car was originally bought by an older gentleman. It does have some body work done and some dings. I have a clean carfax report. All in all, there is great paint on this 90% of this car. I have polished and shined it best I can. The problem areas are, the right front fender has a $50 bondo and spray can repair, the front and rear bumpers are chipped, and the passenger front door has a slight dent on below the horizontal molding. The left side of the car has newer paint in spots. I noticed in the sun the drivers door is a shade different from the fender and LR door/quarter. Hardly noticeable but it's there. Various scratches around the body. The car shines up well as you can see in the pictures. The chrome is great. I always say the chrome on these cars is always very robust. The mirrors work properly. All the lights and lenses are there and working properly. Even the third brake light is still in place! All the glass is crack free. The front windshield does have the normal streaks from the wiper. Engine bay The engine runs perfectly. I just replaced the spark plugs and the cam cover gaskets. Changed the oil and filter using a genuine Jaguar oil filter and Castrol Edge 5W-30 oil. A new air filter was installed. I replaced the thermostat and gasket along with the temp sensors on the t/stat housing. Changed the coolant to Dex-cool. I also replaced the upper rad hose. There is a slight leak from the power steering lines. Everything else seems tip-top. Underneath Under the car is very good. The differential pinion seal has a slight weep as well as the side seals. I've seen these go along time without a problem. The transmission is nice and dry. The engine had a leak from the cam cover gasket, which I replaced. Also, the aforementioned power steering leak. The suspension is still tight, wheel bearings feel just right at all four corner. I replaced the front upper shock bushings with genuine jaguar units that are foam. The foam does tend to break down over time but the aftermarket rubber ones are way too stiff. Control arm bushings and ball joints are still tight. The car feels good going down the road. The tires are 6-8 years old with 6-8 32nds tread all around. They are Pirelli P4000e (two) and Pirelli P4000 Super Touring (two). If I were to keep this car, I would replaced them simply due to age. There is no body damage underneath. Driving I use this car daily and would drive it anywhere. I enjoy driving these cars. I can say without a doubt that this car is ready to go anywhere. It drives effortlessly and provides the feedback you are looking for. There are some tire vibrations that smooth out with driving. The rest of the car is smooth as can be. The trans shifts perfectly and sport mode enhances the experience. The engine does not miss a beat. There are no abnormal noises or sounds. I hope someone can appreciate this car as much as I do. Sure, it has some cosmetics to take care of, but it is a solid car that is ready for a new owner to appreciate. I encourage you to ask questions. I believe in this car and if it weren't for my VDP already taking up my garage, I'd really consider keeping it. Any bidder with 0-5 feedback must email me or your bid will be rejected. There are too many scams in the world and ain't nobody got time for that. Sold As-is, Where-is, no warranty is expressed or implied. This is an 18 year old car and is in good shape but do not confuse it for a new car. Please contact me to come by and take a test drive. Thanks for looking |

Entry-level Jaguar X-Type successor due in 2015, crossover a year later
Mon, 26 Nov 2012Jaguar's future product plans keep on slipping, slipping, slipping onto the internet, and the latest on it's entry-level luxury challenger is a 2015 due date. According to Automobile magazine, "most significant game-changer from Coventry" will be arriving on the same PLA platform that supports the Jaguar XJ and 2013 Range Rover. Kacher says the small sedan has already got the green light as codename X760, and will bow first as a four-door sedan, then as a crossover a year later.
This puts a date to a recent Autocar report that a small sedan and crossover were in the works. We've been getting reports of and concepts for a successor to the X-Type ever since Tata bought Jaguar - like the Bertone B99 concept last year, and this enthusiast concept more recently - since everyone knows it's what has to happen for "a new Jaguar" to succeed. We're looking forward to seeing what the English maker comes up with; if it remains true to form, it could be one of the few luxury competitors whose distinct model each look, well, truly distinct.
This classic Jaguar XJ has a 720-hp ungentlemanly secret
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Forget Tawny Kitaen. If you want to make a Jaguar XJ rock, just do what this guy did: stuff a heavily modified and turbocharged General Motors V8 under the hood, and take it to the track.
The video calls this Series 1 XJ a sleeper, but with its open exhaust and obvious turbo whistle, the once-gentlemanly sedan is anything but. The owner says that the engine is GM LQ9 V8 that has been stroked to 402 cubic inches putting out around 720 horsepower with 12 pounds of boost (in standard form, this 6.0-liter V8 was used in the second-gen Cadillac Escalade). Check out the video below to see what that kind of power does for this classic Jaguar in the eighth-mile.
Top Gear caught filming Best of British near Buckingham Palace
Mon, 24 Jun 2013YouTuber and car-fan extraordinaire Shmee probably had very little trouble tracking down the Top Gear film crew recently, as the group was putting together an episode that could accurately be described as "excessive." With its flag-waving (literally) Best of British theme, the TG guys gathered a jaw-dropping array of British cars, and parked them all right in front of Buckingham Palace to make extra sure that the point was driven home.
Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were outfitted with a trio of Jaguar F-Types festooned with gigantic Union Jacks, with which to survey the landscape of British motoring glory. In the video below, you'll see that this includes any number of Mini, Aston Martin, Lotus, McLaren, Land Rover, Bentley and Rolls-Royce models (just to name a few), as well as a healthy dose of weird stuff that most people would never guess at being built in the UK. The lawnmowers and military vehicles are especially cool.
