Used 1994 Jaguar XJ-Series Sedan Consumer Reviews
UNRELIABLE
I recently purchased the 1994 XJ6 3 months ago and already I have had to spend ever $5,000 to fix mechanical problems. Wood trim is cheap and cracks easily.
Wonderful classic British motoring
I have always owned Jaguars, and my '94 Vanden Plas (FYI, the "s" is silent)has been one of the best. I've been to Coventry (U.K.) a few times, and what's amazing is that no one has any clue how many man hours go into each Jaguar. The leather and woodwork is still prepared by hand (woodwork alone takes 6 weeks to prepare!). The only time I have to bring my car to the dealer, is for oil changes. What's interesting is that there's so much history behind each Jaguar model. (Try looking up Vanden Plas coachbuilders, you'll be impressed). If your looking for a classic British motorcar with a gorgeous interior and impecable ride, buy a Vanden Plas.

money pit
Our 1994 jag was purchased from a dealer with only 34,000 miles. It was still warranted until February 2000. From day 1 we had heating/ac problems and could not get resolved until two replacements of evaporator unit. Rear end was replaced at 43,000. Overall we had $9,500 repair in 21,000 miles. Looks great but performed miserably. Also Jaguar North America really did not care to help on issues. Very disappointed.. we sold for $9,250 and bought a new Avalon with 7 year extended warranty... not going through jaguar nightmare again..
1994 Vanden Plas XJ6
This is my first Jaguar and so far I'm quite impressed. The ride is smooth and the low seating position makes one feel as though one is riding in a sports car. Very fun to drive lots of get up and go. My previous auto was a 300sd so I'm easily impressed. My mercedes mechanic was a little upset when I told him I purchased this car warning me of costs in repairs that would make the angels weep... But my mercedes wasnt exactly cheap so with my extended warranty of 3yrs or 45k I feel it certainly can't be any worse than the 500 bucks a pop to have the mbz serviced. I'll take my chances thank- you very much
Unbelievable XJ6 3.2L Jag
I have had this '94 XJ6 3.2l sedan about 6 years now and still cannot get over how well the car drives, plenty of power and an incredible ride. The ride is unbelievable and you should try to take a ride in one to see for yourself. I have had bugger-all mechanical or electrical issues (other than normal consumables) so can only recommend this series car from my point of view. Reading some of the other reviews you can see the same theme coming through regarding the comfort and driveability of the beast so all I can do here it to agree with those who have the same feeling as I have. All in all, I cannot think of another car with this sort of build and running reviews particularly in regards to the price nowadays so exceptional value for money. Rolf
