1987 Jaguar Xj6 - Major Repairs Needed on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
Howdy Internet,
I have a beautiful and completely non drivable Jaguar if you're in the mood.
The standup guy who sold it to me a few weeks ago forgot to share that the car would completely brick...less than 5 miles after I handed him two months salary for the title. Awesome.
Oh, life lessons.
According to the fine folks at Eagle Transmission in Austin say that the entire tranny needs to be replaced. There is also an engine oil leak, a charging problem, the front right tire is many years older than the rest for some reason and I was just informed this morning that the exhaust system is literally being held up by chicken wire. How exciting!
I will happily provide past service records from the future karma victim--erm, I mean the previous owner-- as well as an utterly useless pre-purchase inspection report from Auto PI Inspection Services. It's a copy, though, as I'm holding on to the original to demand a refund. Because, seriously, wtf...
Finally, your purchase includes a comprehensive list of service and repair recommendations from Eagle Transmission (A $4,000 value!)
My used car buyer nightmare from hell loss is your...um, weekend mechanic passion project gain?
All purchase inquiries welcome as I prepare my case for small claims court between bus rides.
It really is quite a pretty car, though.
$2500 obo

Entry-level Jaguar X-Type successor due in 2015, crossover a year later
Mon, 26 Nov 2012Jaguar's future product plans keep on slipping, slipping, slipping onto the internet, and the latest on it's entry-level luxury challenger is a 2015 due date. According to Automobile magazine, "most significant game-changer from Coventry" will be arriving on the same PLA platform that supports the Jaguar XJ and 2013 Range Rover. Kacher says the small sedan has already got the green light as codename X760, and will bow first as a four-door sedan, then as a crossover a year later.
This puts a date to a recent Autocar report that a small sedan and crossover were in the works. We've been getting reports of and concepts for a successor to the X-Type ever since Tata bought Jaguar - like the Bertone B99 concept last year, and this enthusiast concept more recently - since everyone knows it's what has to happen for "a new Jaguar" to succeed. We're looking forward to seeing what the English maker comes up with; if it remains true to form, it could be one of the few luxury competitors whose distinct model each look, well, truly distinct.
Jaguar lets first outsiders drive new F-Type
Mon, 17 Dec 2012What do you do when you're an automaker with an all-new and brand-defining sports car, one of them with a supercharged V8 cranking out 495 horsepower? You let proven race drivers test them out on track and on the road.
And what do you do if you're Jaguar and you're in that situation? Why, naturally, you make a video of it. That's how we get footage of racers Martin Brundle, Justin Bell and Christian Danner being choppered into the UK's Snetterton track to test the V6-equipped Jaguar F-Type S prototype. Then when they're finished with kerb-lined apexes, they take the V8 S prototype out onto the roads to run it through hedge-lined apexes.
According to one of them, "very fast, very nimble, great engine" is what will soon be headed our way. Check it out in the video below.
Jaguar SUV mule doing Ring testing in Evoque clothes
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Jaguar has moved its Range Rover Evoque-bodied tests of the production C-X17 Concept from icy streets to the legendary Nürburgring, as work continues on the brand's first SUV.
Really, there's not a great deal of new stuff here. Based on the number plates, this is a different vehicle from the one we saw back in March, which we originally identified as the upcoming replacement for the Land Rover Freelander/LR2. The details, though, appear largely the same. The biggest distinction we can see between the March tests and this are the US-spec headlights, which add amber reflectors at their sides. Based on these shots, it does seem as if the C-X17 should be a fairly poised road vehicle, as the engineers hustle it around the 'Ring.
Of course, as soon our spies can capture images of a production-bodied C-X17, we'll be sure to pass those on to you. Until then, take a look up top for images of the Range Rover-bodied Jaguar as it tests at Germany's Nürburgring. You can also scroll down for our March images for the C-X17 mules testing on public roads.
