1996 JAGUAR CONVERTIBLE , I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR $50,000 BRAND NEW IN 1996. IT HAS 98,000 MILES ON IT. ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION HAVE BEEN ROUTINELY MAINTAINED AND OIL CHANGED EVERY 3K MILES. CAR HAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. INTERIOR LEATHER FRONT SEATS ARE VERY WORN, I NEEDED TO USE A SEAT COVER. INSTEAD OF LISTING ALL THE THINGS IT HAS I WILL LIST ALL OF ITS PROBLEMS. THIS LIST IS PROBABLY LONGER THAN WHAT I AM LISTING. THATS DUE TO MY LACK OF KNOWLEDGE IN AUTOMOTIVE MECHANICS. IN THE FOURTEEN YEARS OF DRIVING THE JAG IT HAS BEEN VERY RELIABLE, THEN ONE DAY, IT STALLED OUT ON THE MEADOWBROOK PARKWAY IN NASSAU COUNTY. I DROVE IT OFF THE HIGHWAY TO THE FIRST GAS STATION. IT DIDNT START. I CAME BACK 3 HOURS LATER AND IT STARTED. I DROVE IT 5 MILES HOME IN "LYMP MODE'. I DONT KNOW WHAT "LYMP MODE" IS BUT ITS LIKE A WAY TO MAKE CAR RUN TILL YOU GET HOME WITH CAR . NEXT DAY IT DIDNT START. I HAD IT FLAT BED TOWED TO MY MECHANIC, WHO LOOKED IT OVER AND SAID I NEEDED SOME SORT OF SAFTEY SWITCH AS WELL AS A CABLE AND A CONTROL BOX. HE SAID IT WOULD COST ME $1500 JUST TO START IT. I DECIDED NOT TO DO THE REPAIR ON IT AND JUST USE ONE OF MY KIDS CARS TILL I BUY ANOTHER ONE. OTHER THINGS WRONG WITH CAR. WOOD FINISH IN INTERIOR IS IN POOR CONDITION, PEELING IN MANY SPOTS. THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDS A COVER. THERE IS A SMALL DENT ON DRIVERS DOOR. DRIVERS WINDOW DOES NOT OPERATE. DRIVERS DOOR LOCKS DONT WORK. CONVERTIBLE TOP GOES DOWN FINE BUT HAS TO BE PUSHED BACK A LITTLE BEFORE COMPLETE CYCLE (NEEDS ADJUSTMENT). FLOOR MATS ARE WORN. BATTERY NEEDS BOOST. AIR CONDITIONER DOESNT WORK, MIGHT JUST BE FREON ( ITS A CONVERTIBLE I DIDNT USE THE A/C). PAINT IS WORN BUT THERE IS ABSOLUTLY NO RUST. THIS CAR IS IDEAL FOR SOME ONE WHO LIKES THIS BEAUTIFULL MODEL CLASSIC AND HAS THE TIME AND MONEY TO FIX IT UP. OR USE FOR ENGINE AND TRANSMITION AND OTHER PARTS. THANKS FOR LOOKING. BE WELL AND GOD BLESS.
