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 |

2013 Jaguar XFR-S
Mon, 12 Aug 2013Why Ask Questions When You Already Know The Answer?
"Is it fast?"
We get that question a lot. Several times a month, in fact, and it comes from every corner of our lives - friends, family, complete strangers and even colleagues from time to time. And it's an understandable query. After all, speed, either in a straight line or around a twisty bit of tarmac, is a universally accepted line of demarcation between the typical family sedan and something much more fun and therefore desirable.
40th Jaguar E-Type ever made sells at auction for lb88k
Wed, 30 Oct 2013The 40th Jaguar E-Type ever built, a right-hand-drive 1961 model, hit the auction block and was bought by an anonymous British buyer for 88,000 pounds ($141,310), ITV reports. The Jaguar had been stored at the previous owner's estate, in dry storage, at a derelict farm in Le Mans, France since July 1974.
E-Type chassis No. 860040 was bought by the previous owner in 1969 and was originally gray. But it was driven home to France and painted it in its current aubergine in 1974, before it was put into storage. During that time it was considered missing by experts, but there it sat under a dust sheet car cover for most of its life, so the body is in good condition. The family mechanic said that the car was last started about five years ago, and the engine recently was turned over. Coys auction house describes the original interior, which is also preserved well, as a "time warp."
Chris Routledge of Coys before the auction said, "They're sort of a mythical beast for enthusiast, at the time they were all handmade on special order, so Jaguar collectors look at the first 100 cars in a different way," BBC News reports. He added, "We estimate it to be worth between 20,000 and 40,000 pounds (about $32,100 to $64,200) but our feedback from collectors and interest worldwide suggests it could sell for between 80,000 and 100,000 pounds (about $128,500 to $160,600)." Of course, his revised estimate was right on target.
Jaguar's XFR-S Sportbrake looks to be one hot kinschlepper
Tue, 23 Jul 2013This is the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake, which is too cool for North American sale (the Sportbrake, not the XFR-S sedan, which we're getting soon). Like the XFR-S four-door, it has a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 pumping out around 550 horsepower.
Our spy photographer's x-ray vision is saying that a ZF eight-speed automatic will be the gearbox of choice for the XFR-S wagon, which fits with the sedan, as well. The Sportbrake also has the usual high-performance touches, with huge air intakes in the front fascia, big wheels wrapped in low-profile tires, a dropped suspension and a rear end that's wearing a diffuser and a pair of meaty, quad exhausts. We're happy to see that the XFR-S Sedan's rear spoiler - or some iteration thereof - isn't here to mangle the Sportbrake's beautiful shape.
Where the this super-fast hauler will debut remains a question. There's virtually zero chance of it arriving at an American auto show (although we do endorse that, and any other decision that brings this wagon to our shores), which likely means it'll be in Europe. The Frankfurt Motor Show and Geneva Motor Show seem like the leading contenders, but we'll just have to wait and see.
