Vehicle 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!
