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.

After hearing all the stories about Jag reliability, I still couldn't keep myself from buying this beautiful car. It has been a joy to own. Reliable, comfortable, and fast -- and every head turns when I drive by. Nothing wows the crowd like a Jag. Much more satisfying than my Mercedes 300E.

I found my Dream Car!

I bought my one-owner 1997 XJ6L ten years ago with only 29K miles on it. It now has 34K miles. I've had a few problems with dead batteries, because you can't let this car sit in your garage for a long time without running it; accessories drain the battery quickly. So I've put in a few new batteries and changed the oil every year. This year, I replaced the original Pirelli tires and the alternator belt due to age/dry rot. I also had to get the AC recharged with freon. Please bear in mind, this car is now 27 years old! The radio/cassette player stopped working a few years ago and I got salvage unit installed to replace it. The odometer display in the instrument cluster is also showing problems now, so I guess Ill need to get that fixed, too. Otherwise, this car looks and drives like a dream! It's powerful, fast and comfortable! The beautiful leather seats still look and smell new! I can't take this beauty out for a drive without somebody asking me if I want to sell it! Kelley and Edmunds say this car is only worth about $6k, which is totally nuts! This gorgeous car should easily be worth 5 or 10x that. My big problem now is deciding whether to sell it as a collector's car or keep it as my primary drive!
