I am very happy with our purchase. This car is comfortable, roomy, and extremely attractive. I love to drive it and often take longer routes just to stay inside it for a few minutes longer.

I recently decided to buy my xjl during a routine checkup for my volvo. The car was being checked out and the people could not afford it. The mechanic just happened to be an ex Jag salesman who told me if I did not buy it, he would. Told me the 95 - 97 xj6 was as reliable as the old 240 volvos, and that is saying something. I have never had so many people ask about my car. The paint is perfect after 10 years and the leather is great. Only issues are the cup holders go bad ($167) and my telescope steering needs replacing. Smooth as silk on new Michelins. Buy it.

Time to Trade, But Still Enjoying....

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!

Beautiful flat-6 engine + luxury

Wow, from the amzing performance of the Jaguar historic 250 horsepower flat-6 - which makes the most beautiful engine sound - to the amazing comfort of this luxury car. It all adds up to one of the best Jaguars ever made. Over the corse of 75000 miles I have had to only change one headlight and new brakes. Thats $4500. I purchased this car new for $64,900 back in 1997.

XJ6L Love it...Hate It

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!
