Thinking of purchasing an XJS
#21
great advice, thank you. I let the car go and it's no longer listed on Craigslist. One question, I've opened my mind up to the possibility of owning the V12. They seem to be more plentiful and the prices are the same as the six, but it's a scary proposition. My questions are: Are they really more difficult to maintain? And is the performance boost worth the extra effort?

I also wonder if there was a specific reason why you stopped at this '93?
The reason I ask this is because the other two examples cited to you on this thread are V12 cars, which at this age (25 to 30 years old) can be quite different from the far simpler straight six '93 car in regards to complexity and cost to repair/maintain. It's only fair to give heads up from this forum to a new person that may not be familiar with this side of the XJS brand. Of course, looking at this '93 that you're asking about it appears to be in such a bad a shape that V12 or straight six won't hardly make a difference. Just run from it; not worth it.
Thank you for this information. I think that I'll stay away from the 12 cylinder car.
