'95 XJ12 or '96 XJ12?
Hello
found two XJ12
1995 with 51k miles but immaculate engine and tranny well maintained but need 1 k of body work( damaged fender) 6k
OR
1996
80 K mile immaculate engine and tranny well-maintained 4K
Which one would you go for?
Same color
Thanks
I like the 96 but it has 80K versus the 95 51k
Thanks
Terry

The 96 has a new tranny new alternator new steering rack
but ABS light comes up
and the p.s is leaking
white with perfect interior
Not sure is the 95 is a short or long wheelbase but its looks like a long one
new aluminum radiator new tires new hoses and coolant new steering rack
the quarter panel needs to be fixed most likely can be pulled, and repainted
front and rear bumper have few scratches and need to be repainted
the leather is off white in really good condition though a bit dry so will need to be treated

You can see the extra length in the rear doors....but you might need both cars side by side to notice the extra 3-4". Or browse some pics on the internet. Once you've seen it, though, you'll recognize it in an instant. I like the slightly shorter look...but the extra length is nice for rear seat passengers.
I'm pretty sure all of the '95 USA-market cars were SWB and most of the '96 were LWB
The gold trim is a dealer add-on

Joe, this XJ12 section has a topic all about belts on the second page here. Take a look and then you won't be totally lost.
That alternator belt is sneaky, lurking completely out of sight from the top of the engine. My guess is that Joe's belts (in particular the alternator belt) may be screeching and we know what that means!

We are talking to ourselves. Back on topic...
I see most 96s have the bench seat in back, with the 95s having whats more like bucket seats with center cubby box. Why? Same with the Vanden Plas. Were rear bucket seats a factory option for the 96? I prefer the rear bucket seats but you can't find many of them with the 96 LWB. Mr. 1of19, would you happen to have one of those? Value added perhaps.

The design of the rear seats changed for MY97. Oddly when they say MY97 it can refer to a lot of cars made in 96, need to check the VIN numbers to be sure.
