Hey guys, I am new here, and I have a question. I found a 1986 Jaguar XJ Series XJ 12 for sale, only 7K! mint body, safe/E-tested, 133,000 km, beautiful! I dont know much about Jags, save for the fact that they are beautiful cars! Is this a good buy? Are there anything wrong with this model that I should know? Why is it selling for such a low price?
Thanxxx in advance guy,

If it's not rusty and runs good, it sounds like a decent price. But....a 24 year old V12 Jag is not the kind of car you buy on a whim.
I suggest reading the buyer's guide at the top of this section and post back with more questions

If yours is a USA Ser III 6 cylinder XJ6/VDP in fair condition it won't be worth as much as a Canadian Ser III V12 VDP in fair condition. The latter is much harder to find. Jaguar only built a few hundred a year.
Neither are worth much at all if they are rusty.

The V12 on the Series 3 certainly shouldn't be a deterant.... There are alot of US guys that would give their left (X) for that!
Of course it depends on the condition, but certianly worth a look....
The XJ12 is considered by alot of Jaguar enthusists to be the benchmark of the Series 3...
Have a look and report back!
