Hi I'm new and this will be my first Jaguar purchase -1995 xj 12-I've road tested the car runs drives strong cold a/c very good condition I was actually looking for an XJS when I xame across this car 101,000 miles fours new tires front wheel bearings and brakes not perfect but very presentable and I'm picky I'm actually astonished that the book values are so low for all the motorcar this is so, I ask am I missing something for $5,000 and classic insurance it seems like a real bargain if just for the experience -so I ask is how many xj 12 we're brought into us in 1995 ? original MSRP? I looked around on ebay and craigs list very few available at any time and I figure how can I lose and the kids will the mahogony picnic tables 
If you'de be so kind to entertain me when drivers door is locked with key the pass front door lock actuator does not work so it pops the other locks back open also did these cars come with remote door openers Thank You!

That's the beauty of used Jags--lots of car for little koney :-)

I'll try to find more accurate figures....they're out there, maybe even posted on this forum...but I wanna say only a few hundred. I think the original MSRP was about $70- $75k

Not sure what to make of your lock problem but, yes, they came with remote locks.
Congratulations on your Jag. You've got your hands on one of the most desirable models.
Cheers

Sounds like a honey...
lock problem - go visit the S-type section and search it for "lock" or "Door lock" or similar. I recall one over there within the last week where the computer is looking for all doors to report "locked" and if one fails to report, it unlocks them all. Wouldn't be surprised at all if the same logic or similar is not integrated into our older X300's. So you may have a partially failed actuator but it mayn't necessarily be the pax-side. All of that is foggy, but that's the gist of one cause of what you are describing...not really sure if it applies to these, though.
