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 says F-Type sales off to flying start
Fri, 31 May 2013As we noted in our recent first drive, Jaguar's luscious new F-Type roadster is a bit of a tweener in both size and cost, lining up in between rival Porsche's Boxster and 911. That one-for-two-segment strategy is showing early signs of paying off, with Automotive News reporting that half of the car's 2014 production allotment is already sold. We're not talking huge numbers - sports cars in this segment only "have a global annual volume of about 75,000 units and a market share of 0.1 percent," notes Jaguar brand director Adrian Hallmark. Yet the company figures the F-Type will work out to about 15 to 20 percent of its total volume of around 60,000 units.
From where we sit, this is all very encouraging news, but it's way too early to call the F-Type a smash hit. The sports car segment is known for its fickleness and its front-loaded sales curve, so the real measure of success will be how it fares over the next few years after early adopters get their cars. Jaguar will have to work to keep the F-Type fresh with new variants, and we hear it's prepared to do just that. The British luxury marque hasn't confirmed a hardtop coupe variant yet, but patent images and spy shots suggest one is on the way shortly, and it ought to extend the model's appeal greatly. A four-cylinder option and a manual transmission have also been rumored, and presumably Jaguar will eventually launch higher-performance R and R-S variants as it has done with various model lines, including its other sporty two door, the XK grand tourer.
Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant
Sat, 24 Nov 2012While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.
Jaguar Project 7 Concept
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Jaguar Project 7 Concept debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed just last month. But unlike most concepts, which serve only to collect fingerprints on a stage, the track-ready one-seater spent its days barreling past the hillclimb crowds with Mike Cross, chief engineer of vehicle integrity at Jaguar, beaming behind its right-hand-drive steering wheel. What's more, the powers that be at Jaguar even let yours truly drive the Project 7 during the Concurs d'Elegance festivities at Pebble Beach last week.
Built on an all-aluminum V8 F-Type chassis with modified suspension, the Project 7 (a name acknowledging Jaguar's seven Le Mans wins between 1951-1990) is best thought of as an F-Type masquerading as a D-Type. The two-door is fitted with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 good for 550 horsepower (no pictures as Jaguar wouldn't allow us to open the hood). An eight-speed automatic, with a torque converter, sends the power the rear wheels, allowing the single-seat roadster to crack the 60-mph benchmark in just over four seconds.
Modifications to the bodywork include a new lowered windshield, carbon-fiber aerodynamics and a rear fairing with integrated rollover hoop. The driving position has also been lowered by more than an inch, allowing the sole occupant to not only escape the airflow, but take advantage of a lower center of gravity.
