Mechanic Special: Return To Daily Driver on 2040-cars
Year:1995
Mileage:120000
Location:
Trenton, New Jersey, United States
|
For sale is a 1995 Jaguar XJ6. The car has been reliable in
the five-plus years I've owned it and was used as a daily driver until January
2014 when the starter expired. Purchased at approximately 65,000 miles. Always
started up and got me where I needed to go.
However, little things started failing that I decided not to
repair. Thus, car is being offered as a “mechanic special” or as a parts source
with a low reserve. The car has been sitting for approximately four months and
is being sold “as is where is” since I was able to purchase another XJ6 at a
reasonable price.
Odometer stopped working at 115,714. Figure there is around
120,000 on the car.
Herein, will disclose everything I know to enlighten
potential buyer.
The new owner will need to have some things fixed to return
the car to use as a daily driver. Advise doing the following things initially.
Replace shocks, battery and starter. Second, repair trunk,
which had been jammed shut as a result of a rear-end collision several years
back. Another car skidded on wet pavement going down a hill with the XJ6 at
bottom waiting at a red light. A hit-and-run. Initially, trunk continued to
work, but eventually could no longer open.
After the accident, I didn't see noticeable damage other than
paint. I drove the car fine afterward and continued to do so. Do not know if
the impact caused any damage to frame.
Engine and transmission strong.
Tires are about a year old. Some tread remains. The car does
not have a spare. Will provide a wheel on which spare can be put.
AM/FM radio works fine. Six-disc CD player in trunk.
Was able to drive car at highway speeds and for long distance
without issue.
Car DOES NOT have air conditioning. Heater and defroster,
front and rear, work fine.
Here are other repairs that can be performed.
While trunk if being repaired, give car a new paint job and
repair small dent on top of left rear fender that is about the size of a
baseball. Not sure how that occurred.
Brakes OK. But the anti-light brake light on dashboard is on.
Need to have anti-lock brake system checked. It could be that the accumulator
vessel needs to be replaced. Cost of that part is $100 to $200 depending on source.
Other things that don't work that could be related to fuses –
power seats, power mirror on driver side odometer and speedometer as well as
light behind it. (Tachometer, battery gauge, oil gauge, fuel gauge and engine
temperature gauge work.)
The passenger side power mirror is broken, result of another
hit-and-run incident.
Fan shroud in engine compartment is loose but does not rattle
while car is being driven. And car does not overheat. (I will include a
replacement fan shroud with the car.)
Power sunroof did not work when I purchase the car. Planned
to repair but did not do so. But the opening is essentially secure. A little
water leaks through infrequently.
Digital clock that is near the radio is not working.
Power window on driver door does not open or close. Think it
is a motor issue.
Lock cylinder on driver door has fallen into door.
Mechanism inside door that controls lock button on passenger
front door needs repair.
Rear passenger door on driver side needs repair. Seems the
cable that connects to the handle is broken.
Driver seat has a small tear in the leather on horizontal
area – in front in between driver's legs. Leather on all other seats good.
Lastly, key is stuck in ignition. Have only one key for the
car.
Have clear title for the car, which is located in Trenton,
NJ. Car will need to be towed.
Asking for deposit of $250.00 by PayPal within three days of
completion of auction. Asking for rest by PayPal prior to picking up car or
back check for balance upon picking up car.
Glad to answer any questions you may have. |

Jaguar Land Rover parent Tata posts a loss over coronavirus
Tue, Oct 27 2020BENGALURU — India's Tata Motors posted a wider loss for the September quarter on Tuesday as the COVID-19 pandemic sapped demand in several of its key markets. The global health crisis has hammered sales for automakers worldwide and compounded problems for Tata Motors, which was trying to improve Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) sales amid weak demand and uncertainty related to Brexit. Tata Motors reported a consolidated net loss of 3.14 billion rupees ($42.47 million) for the second quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with a loss of 2.17 billion rupees a year earlier. Retail unit sales at luxury car unit JLR, which rakes in most of the company's revenue, was down nearly 12% for the reported quarter. Tata Motors, however, said it expects JLR sales to gradually improve. "Despite concerns around the risk of a second wave of (COVID-19) infections ... we expect a gradual recovery of demand and supply in the coming months," the carmaker said in an exchange filing. Total revenue from operations fell 18.2% to 535.3 billion rupees. Tata Motors said it was committed to achieving near-zero net automotive debt in the coming years. Shares of Tata Motors ended 1.46% higher on Tuesday while the broader Mumbai market settled 1.03% higher.
2014 Jaguar F-Type, Project 7 Concept snarl in Jay Leno's Garage
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Jay Leno gets to drive a lot of nice cars, and the Jaguar F-Type V8 S he pilots in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is no exception. Eric Johnson, vice president of Jaguar Western Region brought the car to Leno's garage, which impresses the comedian with its 5.0-liter V8 that makes 495 horsepower, 460 pound-feet of torque and a muscle car-like roar.
But there's a surprise this episode: Leno secured a drive in the Project 7 Concept at Pebble Beach this year, and the experience was caught on video. Based on the F-Type, the Project 7 is a functional concept car that nods to Jaguar's seven wins at Le Mans and features bespoke styling cues, a special exhaust system and, perhaps most importantly, 50 more horsepower from the supercharged V8.
Watch the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage in the video below. You'll need a little over 23 minutes to see the whole thing.
2014 Jaguar XJL AWD 3.0
Wed, 25 Jun 2014A bit of British nobility floods the senses when piloting the 2014 Jaguar XJ. It's an emotional rush, a perception based on physical surroundings that influence the mind in much the same manner that a stein of pilsner tastes best when consumed in a German beer garden and no sand is softer than that found on a warm Caribbean beach. Jaguar has been assembling cars for nearly 100 years, and few automakers are as equally adept at capturing aristocracy and timelessness within the rich cabins of their luxury offerings.
Jaguar would have no concern if it were the only game in town, but that's far from the truth. The premium full-size luxury segment, which includes vehicles hovering just under or at the six-figure mark, is a contentious grouping that includes the Audi A8, BMW 7 Series, Lexus LS, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Porsche Panamera. Each of those brings its own game to the battle, and none are easy to dismiss.
To better understand the British perspective and evaluate its latest offering on a land without royalty, I recently spent a week with a long-wheelbase, all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ in Southern California.
