JAGUAR XJR 1996
These vehicles are rare, only about 2000 were made in 1996.
This car has been in my family since it was new and has been well maintained and handed down through three generations. It is showing its age, but it still runs great. Super smooth acceleration, excellent air conditioning, wonderful sunroof.
It purrs like a panther.
It is a very sleek, dignified, low-to-the-ground race car masquerading as a stately elegant town car. I am selling it because we are too old to be doing deep knee bends to get into this car.
This has always been a smoke-free automobile.The cd player is mounted in the trunk and holds a 5 stack. The spare tire is full sized. Please see above and photographs for flaws in finish and interior. The dash board is free of cracks, the seats for the most part are in very good condition. Please see photographs.
The flaws:
The hood, roof and trunk have been damaged by a very bad polishing job that removed the clearcoat and some paint. This will require a new paint job. The sides are fine.The interior only needs about $450 worth of repair to fix the headliner, re-set the sunroof panel, and repair the leather drivers-seat back side-panel at an auto upholstery shop. A new steering wheel and center console (for new cup holders), can be purchased on ebay or from elite Jaguar parts (or you could sand it yourself and apply spar varnish).
Yes, this car needs some cosmetic TLC. But the engine is strong and well maintained and the AC works beautifully. So for not very much money, you can have a gorgeous, stately race car.
Buyer can pick up locally or pay for shipping.Local pickup will be on a weekday at my mechanic's location in West Los Angeles

“Paint is damaged from bad polishing job on the hood, roof, and trunk. The sides look good. Finish on wood steering wheel is cracking but the wood is good. Gear shift console trim is loose. Cup holder is damaged. Sun roof works but part of the interior cosmetic slide mechanism is off its rail so it is stuck between the roof liner and the roof. Roof liner sags in the back (Jag sag they call it). Drivers side seat left back panel leather is cracked. Radio is finicky and unreliable. Drivers side door will not stay open, needs hinge stop replaced.” |
