1990 Jaguar XJ6

Description

The quintessential Jaguar sedan, priced like a used Hyundai, how can you go wrong? Fortunately, this 1990 Jaguar XJ6 is beautifully maintained, shows just 19,055 original miles, and has all of the luxury and performance for which Jaguar is rightfully famous. Don't worry, we won't tell your friends and family how insanely affordable this car really is.

Jaguar's reputation for smoothness, performance, and old-world luxury is earned honestly and this handsome sedan shows all of those virtues rather well. It's been properly maintained throughout its life, a fact demonstrated by the beautiful gloss black paint, which is factory original and shines with the glow that only time and a lot of polishing can offer. For a car that's more than 25 years old, the finish is extremely nice and definitely shows you that you got superior quality for your money when you bought a top-of-the-line luxury car. The long, low Jaguar profile should be instantly familiar, a look that was only recently replaced, so you aren't really in any danger of looking dated in this car because it never went out of style. Both chrome bumpers are in exceptional condition, the big chrome grille shines up well, and details like the shiny metal surrounds around the windows and the twin tailpipes out back are undeniable Jaguar trademarks that are pure English luxury.

The tan leather interior is where this Jag really shines. Natural materials abound: leather, wool, wood, all of which were finished to standards that only the craftsmen in Crewe, England seem to have mastered. It's beautifully preserved and the simple stitching and elegant patterns make it look extremely upscale. Yes, the wood used inside Jaguars is real, not some simulated plastic, and the plush carpets feel impossibly luxurious under your feet. This Jag is thoroughly modern, too, with a full set of big, analog gauges, a trip computer, power everything, an effective climate control system, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo head unit that sounds even better in the silence of the Jaguar's interior. There's virtually zero wear on the seating surfaces and the wood on the center console and throughout the car is beautifully preserved. The XJS was built on a shorter wheelbase than the Vanden Plas, so it has sporting dimensions and a graceful look that the longer cars can't quite match. And the trunk is just as well finished and includes a spare tire with its own upholstered cover.

The 4.0 liter inline-six is a worthy descendant of a long line of fantastic sporting sixes and it pulls the XK6 around with aplomb. It's very well maintained and extremely clean under the hood with plenty of originality and spotless presentation. By 1990, Jaguar's reputation had been repaired and the cars were as reliable as any other major luxury brand and with so few miles, this car is rock solid under the hood. It's backed by a smooth-shifting automatic transmission that works particularly well in manual mode, offering quick reflexes befitting the big cat. Underneath it shows off its low mileage claims with an extremely clean chassis, no rust, and more signs of careful maintenance over the years. Heck, it's still using the original exhaust system! The supple yet capable suspension is a joy and the brakes are powerful, giving this big sedan the moves of a much smaller car. And those handsome alloy wheels look expensive and are wrapped in 215/70/15 Pirelli radials.

With just one owner, this is unquestionably the nicest XJ6 we've ever featured. Treat yourself to some A-list luxury at a very attractive price. Call now!
