Default 1994 xjs

I just purchased a 1994 xjs with 111k for $2600. It has been a daily driver for the past four months. It runs great. I just drove it 60 miles home with no apparent engine or transmission issues.

It needs a top and has some crappy body work on the rear fender that needs to be finished.

There is also an issue with the brakes. They grab really low. Car stops but I need to fix the brakes asap since I live in SF.

One more thing which may be serious is that when the car is cold it blows blue smoke when started. This stops as soon as the car is warmed up. car passed CA smog with this issue.

Overall I am happy with my purchase and think it was a steal. Despite the work it may need.
