Grade "a" inside and out. Cosmetic impressions first said, this is a 20+ year old car, and one needs to align their expectations as such. However, in that context its cosmetic condition is nothing short of remarkable. The paint is very shiny and clean, with no significant scratches or dings to betray its like new appearance. Even upon close inspection, we doubt there is any aspect of the exterior's finish that a customer might quibble with. Really nice overall. the interior is one of the jaguar's strongest statements. It's said that a car is driven from the inside out--so its interior finish and condition is always paramount. This car does not disappoint. The leather has no rips or tears, and looks/feels fresh reconditioned. The wood trim looks excellent, and the carpets equally so. In fact, the overall impression of the interior is one that appears to be a very well cared for much newer car. no excessive wear on any surface. Non-smoker owned, with no smells or odors. Really clean and pleasant a+. Engine and transmission all seemed to be within spec. No squeaks or rattles. Sporty acceleration with nimble handling for its size. Very comfortable ride over rough surfaces. The jaguar always felt composed and well planted, regardless of the driving conditions. This is a relaxed gentleman's sports car, with a lot of life left to offer. Market report there is a wide range of pricing in the current market for the jaguar xjs. The six cylinder version is the most popular, with far less maintenance and reliability concerns than the v12. Interestingly, the difference is horsepower and performance was very minimal. Current nada classic car values range from $19,500-$26,500 for well maintained versions in average-top condition. This is a strong value for the jaguar fan.
