I have been reading your forum for a while. I am trying to help my friend sell her 1987 xis cabriolet thought I might get some good tips on here as how to market it best.

 

Welcome to the forum erickatatum,

Good to have you here with us at Jaguar Forums.

With any Jaguar, one of the most important factors is history. Get as much supporting documentation as possible on the vehicle. Service records, major repairs, previous owners. Be realistic about value. A 26 year old vehicle can be anywhere between a total restoration job and concours.

It sounds like you've already found your way to the tech forum but if not, follow this link XJS - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the XJS forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

You can also visit the US Western Region forum by following this link Western US - AK CA NV OR UT HI WA ID - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums and good luck with the sale.

Thank you so much to everyone who commented on my post. I have become obsessed with learning about this car. It does not really have to much history to research my girlfriend bought it in 1987 with less than 1000 miles on it and now only has 57,700 and she has been the only owner. She has all the service records and dilagently stay up on the service. She said it came from a dealership in Birmingham Alabama that was owned by Bart Starr . I haven't been able to find any documentation of this yet. She purchased it from dealership in Walnut Creek Calif. ( San Fran area ) in 1987.

I will be sure to add car details to my signature . And add some photos too

Thanks Again

 

That's EXACTLY the information needed for compiling the service history.

She has what is essentially a one owner vehicle. With all the bills and receipts arranged in chronological order, this is the background Jaguar buyers are looking for.

I have a maintenance summary sheet with columns for Date, Mileage, Service Schedule and Shop and file all the bills to prove it. Done this for years with every car I've owned. Never fails to impress buyers, makes for an easier sale and usually gets me an advantage on the deal.
