Bought the car new in 1997 with the planned to trade it in 3 years, but newer models were essentially the same. No problems beyond normal maintenance. Extremely pleased with overall fit and finish and reliability. Smooth riding with good performance. Want to buy the new '04, but can't find a good reason to spend the money!
Buy one now if you can

I have been lucky enough to find a '97 XJ6 with 91K miles. The car is magical and I wonder how i drove anything else. The Previous owner was a southern church lady so she was well taken care of and not roughed up. After a clay scrub, wax, leather job, oil change, air filer change and wheel alignment, she looks marvelous and I feel like a baron. The engine is immaculate and performs like the Jaguar she is: POWER. Found a key fob on amazon and all I need are some sweet VDP mats to finish her off.

To began this, I was 17 when my dad gave me his jag in favor for his s500 mercedes. A jag wasnt cool in school so i wanted something different. Nonetheless, a elegant, smooth, and deceptively fast car. I can still hear the deep roar from the engine. Seats had good support, carpet very soft, and the back seat very spacious. Good steering feel and surpisingly not to bad on gas and I always drove in sport mode.

I've owned the car for 2 yrs. For the majority of the time I've thoroughly enjoyed driving this car. Unfortunately, when something stops working (and things inevitably will) it is rarely less than $500 to repair and usually closer to $1000. I understand that all vehicles will have some problems. But not all the time! I love driving it, I hate owning it!

This car turns heads! Deep black and looks absolutely perfect after waxing and polishing. The 246 horse power six cylinder pushes this car down the road with authority. Fun to drive. Not intended for the large or tall person for the driver. Back seat in the this "long version" is huge. Trunk is small.
