Vehicle Detail
For sale is a 1995 Jaguar XJ6. The car has been reliable in the five-plus years I've owned it and was used as a daily driver until January 2014 when the starter expired. Purchased at approximately 65,000 miles. Always started up and got me where I needed to go. However, little things started failing that I decided not to repair. Thus, car is being offered as a “mechanic special” or as a parts source with a low reserve. The car has been sitting for approximately four months and is being sold “as is where is” since I was able to purchase another XJ6 at a reasonable price. Odometer stopped working at 115,714. Figure there is around 120,000 on the car. Herein, will disclose everything I know to enlighten potential buyer. The new owner will need to have some things fixed to return the car to use as a daily driver. Advise doing the following things initially. Replace shocks, battery and starter. Second, repair trunk, which had been jammed shut as a result of a rear-end collision several years back. Another car skidded on wet pavement going down a hill with the XJ6 at bottom waiting at a red light. A hit-and-run. Initially, trunk continued to work, but eventually could no longer open. After the accident, I didn't see noticeable damage other than paint. I drove the car fine afterward and continued to do so. Do not know if the impact caused any damage to frame. Engine and transmission strong. Tires are about a year old. Some tread remains. The car does not have a spare. Will provide a wheel on which spare can be put. AM/FM radio works fine. Six-disc CD player in trunk. Was able to drive car at highway speeds and for long distance without issue. Car DOES NOT have air conditioning. Heater and defroster, front and rear, work fine. Here are other repairs that can be performed. While trunk if being repaired, give car a new paint job and repair small dent on top of left rear fender that is about the size of a baseball. Not sure how that occurred. Brakes OK. But the anti-light brake light on dashboard is on. Need to have anti-lock brake system checked. It could be that the accumulator vessel needs to be replaced. Cost of that part is $100 to $200 depending on source. Other things that don't work that could be related to fuses – power seats, power mirror on driver side odometer and speedometer as well as light behind it. (Tachometer, battery gauge, oil gauge, fuel gauge and engine temperature gauge work.) The passenger side power mirror is broken, result of another hit-and-run incident. Fan shroud in engine compartment is loose but does not rattle while car is being driven. And car does not overheat. (I will include a replacement fan shroud with the car.) Power sunroof did not work when I purchase the car. Planned to repair but did not do so. But the opening is essentially secure. A little water leaks through infrequently. Digital clock that is near the radio is not working. Power window on driver door does not open or close. Think it is a motor issue. Lock cylinder on driver door has fallen into door. Mechanism inside door that controls lock button on passenger front door needs repair. Rear passenger door on driver side needs repair. Seems the cable that connects to the handle is broken. Driver seat has a small tear in the leather on horizontal area – in front in between driver's legs. Leather on all other seats good. Lastly, key is stuck in ignition. Have only one key for the car. Have clear title for the car, which is located in Trenton, NJ. Car will need to be towed. Asking for deposit of $250.00 by PayPal within three days of completion of auction. Asking for rest by PayPal prior to picking up car or back check for balance upon picking up car. Glad to answer any questions you may have.
