1990 Jaguar XJ-Series 4 Dr XJ6 Sovereign Sedan
Review
I have always admired these cats on the street and I decided to take the plunge on an older XJ6, 1990. quite frankly I was scared but since then my fears are gone. This is a great car and it rules the highway. One has to remember that the car is after all 15 years old and therefore some things will need taking care of but the engine and major components on this baby are just puuuurrriiing.
Favorite Features
it's a jag! quite fast and awsome handling. good gas considering the engine size. overall a nice car.
Suggested Improvements
radio and sound system are kind of cheap for the car.

Review
ANY MONEY PUT INTO MAINTENANCE IS EASILY OFFSET BY THE LOW PURCHASE PRICE. IMAGINE A TRUE EXOTIC FOR ABOUT 5K...WOW! PARTS ARE READILY AVAILABLE...YOU CAN JUSTIFY ANOTHER 5K IN REPAIRS,IF NECESSARY, AND STILL BE AHEAD OF THE MOB. THE V-12 IS A SCREAMER...PURE JAG AL THE WAY FOR A RIDICULOUS PRICE! GO ONLINE TO "JKAG-LOVERS" AND KIRBY PALM'S ONLINE HOW-TO MANUAL IS A GREAT DIAGNOSTIC GUIDE TO REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE.
Favorite Features
ROAR OF THE V12; PRECISE STEERING; 160 MPH=+ CAPABILITY; RIDES LIKE ON RAILS; AND, LAST BUT NEVER LEAST: LOOKS, LOOKS, LOOKS!! A REAL HEAD TURNER...THERE'S NOTHING LIKE IT ON THE ROADS TODAY...PERIOD! ONE OF A KIND.
Suggested Improvements
IT'S AN ORIGINAL JAGUAR BUILD AND DESIGN: ENOUGH SAID...EXOTICS ARE NOT FOR THE TIMID BUT AMONG THE COURAGEOUS: WOW FACTOR IS A "10".

These cars are a steal at 5 to 6K. You get so much luxury for the price and 1990 and above are trouble free.

Excellent ride and power. Killer interior.

Review
I have had this vehicle for 6 months and it is the best riding car I have owned. I just had it painted and it now looks like a brand new $70,000 Jag. I believe it is the best value/price of any used car. It is a joy to drive and a joy to look at! If you can find one that is well maintined and relible for a decent price 3-6K jump on it!

I have had little or no problems with my Jag. I have put over 35000 miles and only had to replace a starter relay. I just love this car.

Review
This car required three transmissions (albeit covered under warranty)within its intitial 1,600 miles. It seems as though it's had just about every part replaced by 65,000. When it runs, it runs great--but I won't take it anywhere out of town. Thankfully, I've been able to afford a second car throughout twelve years of ownership.
Favorite Features
Appearance and ride (when running).
Suggested Improvements
Everything related to the drive train, electronics and paint integrity.

this car breaks on me all the time. its has costed me a fortune i advise donot buy this car. i strongly suggest mercedes-benz products and lexus. lexus got the highest rating of preowned vehicles by jd power. over all its a bad buy and if you have the money to keep on fixing it then so be it.

Suggested Improvements
leather quality could be better. if you get this car replace its sound system (if it has its original system). ive had two of these my first one a car hit the back of it going about 10 miles an hour and it bent my frame and it was totaled.
Used Jag - bad idea

I let the low price tag fool me. This car cost me a lot of money. It looked and drove like a new car. But after all was said and done, I would have been better off leasing a new one. (not that I could have afforded that either)
Favorite Features
Comfort of front and rear seats
Suggested Improvements
Bigger trunk. Needs better gas mileage especially considering low performance

2nd owner; bought w/60k miles; orig owner had suspension converted; was in immaculate condition! It now has 130k miles but starting to blow oil smoke. Also, I can't seem to keep (1) tires in camber and (2) A/C charged with freon. Have spent about $2k in repair work in last 6 years.

Review
large enough, still quiet and powerfull, reasonable economy BUT needs premium fuel. The steering died and needed BOTH pump and rack, replaced at 120 K miles for about $900 with rebuilt parts. Everything else still works, no other reliability problems. It drives nice and turns heads, elegant car and rarer thna your average neibour's Benz or BMW.
Favorite Features
Leather and wood made to last, AC has humidity control! Great tranny at sport mode, lazy at normal setting.
Suggested Improvements
They were bought by Ford, so many things changed by today. Cars need better shocks and stroger steering systems. And a little better plastics inside. AND external DOORHANDLES-they keep breaking-$180 to replace.
