1988 Jaguar XJ6 Reviews - Page 3 of 4

RHS front electric window stopped working.

I got this car according to the bloke who sold to me as a bargain; quite frankly he was right.

This model of Jaguar is surely one of the best. It handles like a race car, and I find it easier to park then a 1999 Toyota Camry which I also drive.

It accelerates pretty effectively, and once it's been going for a while, you can really hear it purr. The drive is very even, and the car obeys everything you say.

The cabin, despite looking much bigger from the outside, is very comfortable and stylish, and looks much newer than an 88 car.

The air con has always worked, as have the other features, besides the Right Hand Side front electric window, which simply does not work.

It also loves petrol, getting up to 15 litres per hundred km's sometimes.

To sum up, when I told people I was going to buy a Jaguar, everything people said was negative, but after owning this car you can really appreciate how highly underrated this model and Jaguar really is.

I recommend this car to everyone who wants something a little bit different.

To say at the very least, the 1988 Jaguar XJ6 - 4 door sedan is quite a find. I wanted to replace my other car, a 1989 Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo, in wonderful condition, (124,000 miles on the engine) only because I needed a 4 door sedan instead of a 2 door coupe.

Also, I always wanted a Jaguar, in particular, the 1988 XJ6.

Upon buying the Jaguar XJ6 there were a few things to deal with such as it needed to have a new rack and pinion and also new front gas shocks installed.

The paint is very good with the exception of 5 "silver-dollar rust spots on the body panels due to the fact that the previous owner did not care for the body correctly, most likely during winter months. Which is a little confusing because the paint which is a beautiful glossy "British Racing Green" color looks fantastic otherwise.

I have also spent under $60.00 for new hub caps (the old caps' paint has faded off.

This car is 90% back to it's original condition from when it was new. I bought the car at about 75% original condition. After the body work is completed and the paint up to par, I will be showing it off more.

A very interesting thing is that where we live in Illinois, there have only been two instances in the last two years where I have seen this type of car.

Let me tell you, this Jaguar, even in it's present condition, which is good, is a real head-turner. People definitely look and are curious as to it's nature and what type of vehicle it is. Especially when I turn at a street corner.

The car's door handles are very stiff.

Occasionally a light bulb will burn out and some fuses as well.

The car handles like a race car just out of "Le Mans".

The leather seats are very comfortable, especially the rear seat, its like an Italian leather couch. the cabin is very light and roomy, but there isn't as much rear leg room as you would expect from a car of this size.

The dual zone heater is very nice, everyone can he either be cool or hot.

However, when it is raining the one windshield wiper has a hard time keeping up with the rain/snow.
