There's no interlock between the shift and the steering column lock so the broken key isn't the problem. It'll be a problem when you need to steer the car, though
Is the car on a slope so that the weight of the car is being held by the transmission...thus jamming the gearshift in "P"? If so you may have to enlist some help to rock the car while you work the gearshift
Or....
Perhaps the shift cable has seized? In that case you'll have to get under the car to release the cable from the trans and then operate the linkage at the trans with your hand. Be careful !
Others will chime in

Sorry about my lack of a quick response. Thanks for all the info. I would like to expand on this subject. This car has been sitting for awhile, mileage is 140xxx mol, I would like to pick the opinions of the experts on this forum. The deal is this car has been sitting outside for some time, it has someones TWR body kit with front and rear bumper covers, side skirts and the rear spoiler, the body is straight with few dents, the interior looks good, seats, headliner, door panels and such. The bad is when sitting in the drivers seat you can see the ground underneath. What do youall think? Go or no go.
Thanks.
Thanks.

1989 was a plentiful production year for the XJS and good cars are easy to find and cheap (in the US). Don't waste your money on a rusty car. I'm sure a quick scan of your local Craigslist will result in a much better example.
The car you found might make a good parts car. If you need the parts then buy if for a few hundred dollars...no more.
