I have owned an XJ12 for several years now and am in love with the car, from the external styling (which is magnificent) to the comfortable interior.

XJ6 Is a Superb Automobile

Never in my wildest dreams did I believe I would ever say this Jaguar, bought as my 2nd car, would be perhaps the best car I have ever owned. I have owned MB (500 series), BMW (740iL), and Lexus (400). This Jag has become my favorite of all, hands down. The quality of the car is much better than I ever imagined. The comfort and ride are without peer.

I love my 1996 Jaguar XJ 6 Vanden Plas. Karden Premium sound system - Long wheelbase -118k miles. This car is loaded. New $70 grand ! Sapphire Blue, cream interior. A real head turner. Immaculate condition like new. Garage kept. I drive only in the summer. Irreplaceable ! Service twice a year. a 5 star mechanic - like my Jag. A great Highway Car. Now a collectors car. JR

Lady DOESN'T Sing the Blues

Lady Blue (name of my car) is one heck of a car! I love this girl and she treats me well. She's a smooth ride that loves to show off her sleek design and comfortable ride. Everywhere I go, people stop to look at her and compliment her beautiful and luxurious styling. Other than routine maintenance, my Jaguar hasn't been in the shop for anything since I got her. If you're THINKING about getting one -- do. It will be one of the best decisions you've ever made.

Big Bucks To Maintain This Car

My Mechanic said, "Youve Got A Super Nice Car BUT If You Keep That Car For Any Length Of Time You And I Are Going To Be Best Friends"! Trans has problems electronically shifts hard. Door locks will not lock, Check engine always on from some problem or another. Front breaks lock up defect in design after usage for a while. To many other very expensive problems to list. THINK HARD BEFORE BUYING!!!!!!!
