1995 Jaguar XJ12 77,500 miles. Beautiful car, runs and drives, has brand new tires, but needs a little work.

known problems:

-needs power steering pump
-gauges work only sometimes
-headliner falling down
-clunk in front left suspension,
-rust on rear pass fender from bad repair job. other that that the body is clean and rust free.
-a few other minor misc. issues.

All of the problems I have listed are relatively inexpensive fixes for someone willing to put in a little work. Lots of potential here. Asking 2500/obo. The car is located in Minneapolis MN.

 

Nice car for $2,500 -- nice city, too (I used to live there in a past life!)

 

you are absolutely right on both counts!

 

price lowered to $2200

 

Howdy. Realize this is an old thread but I am now the happy owner of the car mentioned above. I acquired it with the same issues it had in 2012 and have the electrics fixed but I am interested in any history you have on the car since the previous owner knew little. And did it have the top engine cover when you sold it?? Was the power steering diagnosed to be a bad hose? It's truly an exceptional car; I am thrilled such a thing is available I'm this price range.

 

Also, the electrical problem was a bad relay for the fuse panel in the trunk. This car has five totally independent fuse panels and probably 200 pounds of copper in it, so I owe everything to the complete wiring diagrams available on the JagRepair and my trusty multi-meter. A failing relay can cause some very funky symptoms-
