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 |

Jaguar Land Rover says half its models will be hybrids or all-electric by 2020
Tue, Nov 22 2016Neither Jaguar nor Land Rover has ever been mistaken for big-time green-car brands, but their parent company is trying to change that. Jaguar Land Rover looks to have as many as half of its models be of the hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or battery-electric variety by 2020, CEO Ralf Speth said at the Los Angeles Auto Show last week. Speth made the announcement while showing off the I-Pace concept compact crossover. The green-car expansion would mark a natural extension of Jaguar Land Rover's decision last year to double the headcount in its advanced-engineering department. As for the five-seat I-Pace, that model will be Jaguar Land Rover's first production electric vehicle when it starts sales in 2018. The car will have a 90-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack that will deliver a single-charge range of about 220 miles. Boasting more than 400 horsepower, the car will also be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about four seconds. What's also notable is that Jaguar says the model has been designed to be an electric vehicle from the ground up, and hasn't been converted from the platform of an existing model. Of course, Jaguar late last year said it would enter a team in the FIA Formula E electric-vehicle open-wheel racing circuit, so the British badge has made recent noise about upping its green-car quotient. As for the I-Pace, the automaker hasn't revealed pricing on the model, but it's safe to say that it will be quite high. Check out a three-minute video of Speth's presentation here. Related Video:
Jaguar will build 9 XKSS continuation cars at $1.4m each
Wed, Mar 23 2016The Jaguar D-Type was, for its time, a cutting-edge race car. It was also a car that could, theoretically, drive from Jaguar's Browns Lane factory to the race in France and back. This was an era in which top-tier race cars weren't all that different from their road-going counterparts. You couldn't really do the same in an Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro, now could you? The XKSS was a D-Type with the barest nod to road-going conveniences, like proper wind protection. With some unsold D-Type racers cluttering up the shop after three successive Le Mans wins, Jaguar converted 16 into XKSS spec, and had more in the works. It wasn't a comprehensive transformation, really. A windshield and a passenger door were added; a cabin partition and the striking fin behind the driver were removed. Otherwise, it wasn't much different than the all-conquering Le Mans-winners. And then tragedy struck. A fire destroyed nine of the cars, and the company never picked up where it left off after the mess was cleaned up. Hence Jaguar aficionados, and the company itself, keenly felt the absence of the "lost" cars. After the success of the continuation E-Type lightweights built by the Jaguar Classic division of Special Operations, the company will finish the run. Nine cars will be hand-crafted for a select group of customers and collectors, much as the company did for the lightweights. Jaguar expects the cars to fetch more than $1.5 million each. Considering the mystique of these "lost" cars, and the fact that Steve McQueen is heavily associated with the XKSS, they may trade hands for considerably more after the initial owners part with them. Jaguar expects to start delivering the continuation XKSS cars early next year. Related Video: New York Auto Show Jaguar Convertible Performance Classics jaguar special operations jaguar xkss
2014 Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake is one hot hauler
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Oh look, another super-hot wagon that won't be making its way to the US. Awesome.
Actually, in all honesty, it really is awesome. Meet the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake, a red-hot (or blue-hot?) version of the rakish XF wagon that originally bowed at the Geneva Motor Show back in 2012. The formula here is pretty much plug-and-play: take the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 from the XFR-S and shove it in the wagon body, and add all of the necessary visual flair fitting of a properly powerful Jag. The end result is an estate that packs 542 horsepower, 502 pound-feet of torque, and the ability to sprint to 60 miles per hour in a scant 4.6 seconds. Meow.
This Jaguar joins a growing segment of ultra-hot wagons in Europe, rounded out by offerings like the Audi RS6 Avant and the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG longroof - the latter of which you can actually buy in North America. Sounds like the sort of comparison test we'd love to facilitate. Guess we'll have to leave that to our friends at Autocar, though.
