Hello ladies and gents. Disregard the older "Feeler" post for my 1996 XJR from a month or more ago. She's officially for sale and it's easier to start a fresh new post with updated info!



Posting from my iPhone. Here is link to old post that has all the pictures! www.jaguarforums.com/forum/private-sale-trade-buy-classifieds-9/feeler-1996-xjr6-70k-miles-absolute-must-see-130887/

Jaguar enthusiasts know exactly what they have found in this listing. For sale is a rare example of an original, Supercharged STRAIGHT-SIX 1996 XJR with only 70,000 miles. The car is nearly perfect inside & out, ready to be driven by the next owner today.

My XJR is currently garaged located in beautiful Scottsdale, AZ where its been since I moved in 2010. However, my seasonal business back in Buffalo, NY has kept me here the majority of the year for two seasons and unfortunately the Jag sees very little use when I'm in AZ for only a few short months.

That being said I am the THIRD OWNER and have had this beautiful XJR since I purchased in April 2009. It has NEVER seen snow or rain in my ownership.

When purchased from second owner out of Missouri the car had 58,000 miles and currently has 70,000. Clean Carfax included. It was in Buffalo one year strictly as a summer vehicle, then driven cross country to Scottsdale, AZ in October 2010. Not one hiccup during the 3-day trip.

This vehicle has a list of preventative maintenance and service done to it during my ownership, along with a professional full detail every 3 months, which is what I do for a living.

I truly don't want or NEED to sell this XJR. They're very difficult to even find, let alone in this condition. I'll be hard pressed to think you'll find another example like mine. Its been in the hands of a Jaguar enthusiast for 5 years.

Listed below are years of preventative maintenance and upgrades (newest to oldest):

- April 2014 @ 70,464 miles: A/C recharged, New Front Shock Bushings, New ABS ground strap: $569.84 (British Auto Repair - Scottsdale, AZ)

- March 2013 @ apx 67,000 miles: New Bosch Battery: $119.12

- January 2012 @ apx 65,000 miles: Belts replaced (Supercharger, Alternator, A/C): $62.81 (personally installed)

- May 2011 @ 66,174 miles: EGR System recall - replace PROMS & Throttle Spring (Jaguar North Scottsdale)

- April 2011 @ 66,000 miles: Transmission Drain & Refill w/filter: $35.84 (personally done)

- January 2011 @ 65,300 miles: Tune-Up (New Spark Plugs & Valve Cover Gasket): $86.78 (personally installed)

- July 2009: New Pirelli Zero tires & OEM 18" Penta XJR wheels (off the 98/99 XJR model years): $2,400.00

- August 2009: New Subwoofer Speaker for rear deck Harmon Kardon system: $164.76 (only available through Jaguar dealership - West Herr Jaguar)

- August 2009 @ 59,600 miles: New rear tranny mount/seat spring - preventative maintenance only: $47.70

- April 2009 @ 58,xxx miles: New high quality 20% window tint film: $162.04 (Eclipse Glass Tinting)

- Misc... K&N Air Filter, Tires rotated @ 64,500 & 67,700 miles.

This particular XJR is loaded with every option that I know to have been available for the year:

- Dual Power Seats/Windows/Locks/Mirrors/Steering Wheel, Driver Memory Seat, Front AND Rear Heated Seats, Sunroof, 6-Disc CD Changer/Cassette, Harmon Kardon Sound System, Keyless Entry (2 OEM fobs & Valet Key), Cruise Control, Trip Computer, ABS, Power Steering, A/C & Heat, Front & Rear Fog Lamps, Dual Exhaust, and 18" XJR Wheels.

Everything works exactly as it should. Harmon Kardon stereo system sounds excellent with no blown speakers.

Interior is in pristine condition, no fading or cracking leather, trim, etc anywhere. Every 3 months when I did a full detail, leather was reconditioned to prevent from dry cracking in the Phoenix summers. One item to note is the ONLY thing I never addressed was the sagging headliner only in the rear seating area. Never bothered me because with the sunroof it never effected the front area.

Exterior of this XJR is in beautiful condition, but please expect normal wear & tear for a vehicle that's pushing 20 years old. Notable flaws are a scuff on front corner of bumper (passenger side) and a dime sized dent (no paint missing) on passenger rear quarter panel, which has been there since I purchased the Jag 5 years ago. Black paint is still in wonderful condition, also receiving a full buff/polish/wax with the finest detail products every 3 months. The exterior is due for a detail right now and will be done before buyer picks up vehicle.

The upgraded 18" OEM XJR wheels off the '98/99 model years make this 1996 XJR6 look 10 years newer. Those wheels and brand new Pirelli Zero tires were purchased in July 2009 for $2,400.00

Wheels are in excellent condition and tires still have a good 50% or more tread left. The OEM XJR wheels that were on the car were sold many years ago. However, the original OEM full size spare is still in the trunk, also in excellent condition. In my opinion, the factory wheels for the 95-97 XJRs killed the whole look of the car.

Mechanically, as you know Jaguar enthusiasts the 1995-1997 X300 Jags were the best ever built. Bullet proof 4.0L straight-six motor will run forever with minimal and less costly maintenance. This Supercharged straight-six might be a night and day difference between modern V8 XJRs but those will never match the reliability of the real straight-six Jaguar engines. This 322 HP motor still does the job quite well when you want this 4,000+ pound sedan to move!

This Jaguar runs very strong, drives smooth as butter, shifts beautifully, and has never had a check engine light on in my 5 years of ownership. There is nothing to hide here. You have a chance to own a rare and original straight-six Supercharged XJR with many preventative maintenance items addressed that are common on the 95-97 Jags.

With that being said I do not necessarily want or NEED to sell this XJR. The chances of me finding another one like this that's been cared for in the same way are slim to none. Not sure what my next Jaguar will be, but I want this 1996 XJR to go to a Jaguar enthusiast like myself.

**I am currently working 7 days a week and have no time for games, BS, or disrespectful offers.

**I won't personally be back in Scottsdale, AZ until mid January (the week following Barrett-Jackson auction). Therefore I'll be coordinating the sale with my brother where the Jaguar is stored at his home in Scottsdale in the event that it should sell prior to me getting out there in January.


**Car will NOT be able to be shown in person locally until I arrive the weekend of Barrett Jackson. So please feel free to ask any other questions or make an offer if you're a serious buyer.

*Clean AZ title.

*Asking $12,500.00 B/O

*Serious inquires call/text Chris: 716.597.7308

 

 

Chris,

I've activated the link in your post #1 to the 'old post'. You have to remove the http// to make links work on the forum.

A thumbnail photo appears in the main Adverts browse automatically if it's in post #1 of a thread. Send me a PM if we want me to add this for you.

The XJR looks superb.

Graham

 

If anyone is in the Phoenix area and interested in setting up a time to see my XJR please PM me or call/text directly for the fastest response.

I won't be visiting my brother in Scottsdale for another couple weeks as it has been pushed back. I can coordinate potential buyers who'd like to see the car locally with him.

Respectful offers are gladly welcome for this excellent XJR6 example.

 

New asking price $11,500.00

You may find another XJR6 for sale with as low (or lower) miles but I can assure you it will not compare to this ones record history, condition, upgrades or 6 years of personal care.

Serious buyers don't hesitate to call/text Chris: 716.597.7308

 

Wish I was in AZ right about now...

 

Where are you located? If you have a strong interest in the Jag there's a couple different options if you're wondering about how you'd get it.

Please PM if you'd like to talk more. Thank you.

 

This rare XJR6 is still looking for a good home.

Willing to assist with delivery if you're an out of state buyer. Wouldn't hesitate to drive this anywhere.

 

New asking price $10,500 Best Respectful Offer.

 

Asking, $9,900.00

Open to respectful offers. Will probably be listing on eBay one final time in the next couple weeks as we get into tax return season.

Would much rather see it go to a fellow Jaguar member and enthusiast!

 

Rare XJR6 still up for grabs!

Relisted tonight on eBay one final time.

Hate to let this one go after many great years, but have decided I'd would like to lean more toward a modern XKR purchase in the next year.
