My name is Saub, I live in Indiana and just purchased my first Jag XJ6 that I just happen to run across while posting my current car for sale on there. I'm hoping the value of pontiacs solstice's regains some grounds and stops depreciating so quickly. It's a wonderful car, but I just got married about.a month ago and figured it's time to get rid of it, I also don't enjoy every single car driving by looking at me anymore. I took off all the lettering and insignias when I got the solstice so it was fun having the only one in town for at least a year where people would break their necks trying to figure out what in the world it was. I just emailed an exec at GM to get his view on whether the poor current auto market is dragging down my used car value because they are giving such good deals on brand new cars, but we'll see. I'm hoping the limited supply and the fact thar most people have Automatics will make mine regain some of it's value.
I had to get that out, I'll only talk about my Jag for now on in here. How do people post pictures next to their profile name?

 

Hi and welcome to the forum. As a '96 your car is an X300 model so you should post in that forum. It is really a curvy edition of the previous XJ40 model, but the engine was improved. These X300s were the best Jaguars ever for reliability, but of course they are now getting quite old so wear and tear will have taken its toll.

 

Welcome, Saub: and congratulations on the wedding, but more importantly, on the car purchase! Yes, that generation XJ6 is widely respected as one of Jaguar's best. Take care of it, stay on top of the niggles, and the car will most certainly take care of you.

Cheers,
Scott

 

Thank you very much. I'm pretty excited everytime I open up the garage and see it sitting in there. They are beautiful. I appreaciate the info on the car, I came to this forum (never used one before) so I can learn all I can.
