I bought this to replace my 95 XJ6 which I still own for parts. Some minors electrical issues cause a delay in the MD registration process but now that is registered, I am happy. I drove the 95 for years and it is by far the most reliable car I have ever owned. 6 years and only had to replace the water pump one, which I did myself. Bottom line is this, I have now owned 2 of these, they both cost less than 6000$ and they have taken me anywhere I wanted to go on the EAST coast very reliably. AT 145000, I am hoping to keep it for another 10 years at least. The car is heavy as a tank, sturdy as a tank, rather frugal on gas, yet provides the smoothest ride you would find in the category. I have owned Hyundai, Mercedes, Toyotas and VWs, but this is one car done right! Ever indebted to the connoisseur who inducted me into the cult of quality jags.

I've always wanted a Jaguar and now it's mine. You can buy a used car or you can buy something you're proud to drive. I was very concerned about mechanical problems but after 6 months and 5,000 miles, no issues.

Going on 2 years now. This is our 4th Jaguar and by far the very best. The ride is superb, luxurious to the extreme. Virtually no wind noise, or noise of ANY kind for that matter. Reliable? You bet! Our experience has been that it costs no more to repair than most other cars.The engine and trans just don't break. It holds it's value great if bought as a previously owned vehicle. It's a head turner and conversation starter wherever we go in it. I'm presently looking for another low mileage '97 XJ6 for my wife.

This has always been my dream car and I finally found the color, year and engine I wanted XJ6L. After plenty of research I read the 95-97 XJ6 was the more trouble free of all Jags and that's what I hunted for and so far so good.
This is an excellent ride

Well priced luxury vehicle. Acquired used, it is a real bargain buy. And, unlike the 'Jags' of years ago, the modern Jaguar is a highly reliable, high quality vehicle.
