1988 Jaguar XJ6 Reviews - Page 4 of 4

All door handles are stiff, the radio is very poor, albeit original.

Slight inperfections in the coachwork around the bottom of the wings behind the wheels, the wheels are slightly marked.

This car came with full Jag service history, all MOT certificates, all the TAX disc's, all the service bills, other bills for repairs carried out from new, and it still has it's tool kit with everything in it.

Superb...all this for two grand.

She purrs like a big cat should, and the sound of the acceleration is a dream, without a doubt, the best buy ever.

I have a question... In order to avoid a mishap, when should the timing belt be changed.

Well, nothing much really, except for some bulb failures, blown fuses and the brake ball accumulator.

This car is incredible. It handles nimbly and is quick as a Jaguar! It is also very luxurious. The sound system is a blast! I would say "This car is magnificent".

The electronic parts need some help. Such as the antennae.

The most important thing to mention is the engine seized on a long trip from Delaware to W. Virginia, more specifically on the way back. Had to have my husband come out and tow it back home. Has been sitting out front waiting for a rebuild of the engine (bottom end) or another used engine. I was told that this engine is the best, so I will probably see about a rebuild. Beautiful car with great comfort and style.

I still drive my Mercedes (1992 190E) which is a more sound and economical car. When I bought it someone key scratched half of it while I still had a T-Tag on the car. Unreal. That was the most expense for this car. It bothers me about those who have a problem with the American made issue. American made cars do not have a history of lasting up to 300,000 miles. And the only American made right now that I know of is the Mercedes SUV.

Well back to my lovely Jaguar. We had the headliner redone. Paint and bodywork redone at parts cost only. Otherwise, the car has been driven by me only for 3 months. This car was a Christmas present from my husband in 2000! :)

Great sound system.

Great performance.

Beautiful.

Nothing serious has gone wrong with the car thus far. The only problems that I have had are minor body rust, and light bulb failure. Other than that the car is great.

Beautiful car, and I know why Jaguar went back to the 1988 body styling. Very comfortable, and very reliable. It doesn't eat to much gasoline either. Nice and roomy, smooth ride, good soundproofing, decent sound system. One bad thing is that the resale value of the Jaguar cars is extremely low, that's bad for me, but good for those of you who want to buy one. Very good car, go check one out.

- Brake pads 3 times, disks 1 time.

- Light bulbs.

- Light bulb failure warning, rewired to disable.

- Brake pressure sensor switch started to leak (causing brake pressure to drop - good thing it has a switch to tell you).

- Some body rust.

Driven quite hard, quite often. Very nice for long drives.

Have driven it about 225,000 km, engine is like new.

2nd owner, bought it fresh, and like new, for about 20% of new price. Good buy as used vehicle, very reliable, and better on petrol than I expected.
