PLEASE READ ENTIRE LISTING! 1989 Jaguar XJS V12 convertible. Champagne with tan leather and brown canvas top. 91000 one owner miles. Clear California title.

Oil change, Transmission filter and fluid change, coolant flush Various other bits. I have detailed receipts. The car misfires badly. I have had it towed to two independent Jaguar shops and each shop gave me a completely different diagnosis. I don't think either one knew what was wrong. The car ran perfectly before I started changing parts. It pulled strongly and burned no oil. My friend purchased the car from the son of the original owner and it had been sitting for a while. I believe mice had made a home under the bonnet. The car does start immediately and runs but has a hard time maintaining a steady idle and will no take throttle. As you can see the owner has spared no expense to this point. He and I are heartbroken the car will not run right and he has reluctantly decided to cut his losses. We both think all the car needs is someone who specializes in V12 Jags. If that someone exists in Vegas, we could not find him. That being said, the car is in fantastic shape. The paint is original and has one dent on the bonnet, driver's side. No door dings. Several small scratches. Driver's seat leather is worn. Top is in outstanding condition. Matching canvas top boot in original bag. Transmission shifts excellent. Alpine CD changer is hooked up to the original Jag deck. AC, heater, wipers, windows, top, lights, etc. all work as they should. Spare tire and wheel, jack kit, first aid kit, manuals and two sets of keys are included. Carpet is original in good condition. All glass is perfect. Wood has some cracking, even the new wheel and ski slope. There is a very small oil leak. Typical Jag. I have tried to describe this beautiful car as best I could. I welcome your questions and I check my e-mail frequently. Please check my feedback. I have been an honest E-Bayer for eleven years now and have bought and sold many cars here. I want the winning bidder to fully understand what they are buying. The car will need assistance being loaded on a transport truck. I have a shipper I have used for years and will be happy to assist with shipping arrangements. All shipping costs are the responsibilty of the winning bidder. Of course, the car is being sold as-is. The car is offered at no reserve. Obviously we will be taking a HUGE loss. Someone who knows these cars better than I is going to get a steal. Good luck! On Oct-12-11 at 14:47:04 PDT, seller added the following information: I spoke to my shipper. They charge an additional $150.00 winch fee to help the car on and off the truck. Not all trucks have winches so shipping is delayed a bit. If you e-mail me your address I will call and get you an estimate. I have a very good relationship with my shipper. I hope this helps. Michael
