Hi all, my friend is looking into getting a 1987 Jaguar XJ6.

$5995
Only 47k miles
One Owner
Complete Records
Fully Loaded

What I was wondering is if these cars were reliable at all (I'm not big on the history of Jaguars), and whether or not it's a bad car for him to get in terms of something that will last him. He's not a big car buff, and isn't one to do small at home repairs like changing spark plugs, etc.

(this would be an early graduation present from his Grandmother, and he plans on keeping it through college)

Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

 

no.

run like the wind. run away fast.

 

my dad found a 1988 jag and he was excited cuz he wanted me to find another car to drive and i was like heck no...the jag will equal junk. it was in good shape when my neighbor bought the car...oh then he had to dump 4g's into it...lol...a money pit

 

hahah, thanks for the advice. I'll take it

 

theres an 88 sovreign in the paper for 750....


still not worth it........

 

Price of the car $750.
Price of the repairs $3,565
Price of financing the second loan 20% interest


look on the schmucks face that bought the Jag........... well... you know.

 

wow, 47k miles, isn't that some kind of record?

I believe so, i'd have parked it long before then

 

Oh dear GOD no....NNOOOOOOOOOOOO
Run as fast as you can before something catches fire while looking at it.........
My Dad had one back when I was younger, he bought the car new and had it 2 months. Swore he would NEVER BUY ANOTHER BRITISH POS AGAIN!!!!!!! The car actually caught fire after numerous electrical problems.

 

Don't buy it... You will be stuck with repairs and problems...

 

thanks for all the responses everybody, when my friend asked if i found anything out about the car i gave him OLT's response...

he said he had also called the local Jaguar dealer, told them his situation, and he got the same response. Avoid that car.

 

You car make a nice car out of them.........LOOK!!!!!!!!!
