Vehicle Detail
This auction is for a used 1995 Jaguar XJS Convertible in green color and black top convertible. The car is located in Calexico, CA (122 miles East of San Diego). This car was my wife’s car, she did something inexplicable and unbelievable to me because she preferred a 2009 Toyota Sienna over this beautiful and classy Jaguar XJS convertible???? ( so go figure). William Lyons defined the Jaguar brand with three simple words - space, pace and grace. The Jaguar XJS has all three in spades. The XJS has matured to become an elegant and graceful grand tourer. This car is a lovely place to watch the road unwind from. These are unique automobiles and are some of the most comfortable, enjoyable cars to take a road trip in that you can imagine. They are capable of chewing up enormous distances in a day, can cruise at speeds that many cars would struggle to reach, and do so in a grand manner. I bought the car with a salvage title due to a light rear collision; however, the car was repaired two years ago by a professional body shop. The car has 96,000 highway miles and is in good mechanical and electrical condition for its age. The convertible top needs to be replaced due to age (it shows some tears). This XJS is a perfect blend of heritage and technology. A straight six that hauls like a V-8. The 4-liter, 245-horsepower, 24-valve, in-line, 6-cylinder engine is rather energetic considering the weight (4,100 pounds) it has to pull. Of course, those that flex muscle need nourishment, and the Jaguar XJS is no exception with its 17 m.p.g. city/23 m.p.g. highway mileage rating. You'll be the envy of all others when you pull up to the pump, but be prepared to be envied often. And they are rare. It has been years since I have passed by one on the highway. You just don't see one everyday... In fact, you don't see them hardly at all. If you want a car that speaks to individuality, it would be difficult to do better at 10 times the money. These are lovely cars. The interior of the later cars is like nothing else on the planet. Old world charm and comfort abound, but in an intimate space, where you are surrounded by soft skins, thick carpeting, and beautiful wood-grains. In the end though, I think that what makes these cars so desirable is the strong character. This results from a combination of heritage, styling, engineering, scarcity, and raw mystique. No other cars at affordable prices generate the same passion in me as the XJS does and few PRACTICAL cars top it at ANY price. Finally, as I stated before, the car has a salvage title so please look at the pictures and ask me any questions before you bid. The car is offer as is, where is and there is absolutely no warranties of any kind so please bid accordingly.
