Hey everyone,

I have been fortunate enough to have a grandfather that was generous in taking care of his grandson. He gave me his 1993 XJ6 after my other car was driven to death and I do not want the same to happen to this car, I have way too much respect for it. The condition it was given to me was descent for having spent most of its life in a garage. A few cosmetic problems like leather fading, spot rusted because of some jealous people threw an egg at it. Other problems include air conditioning doesn't work but heat works fine, maybe the compressor needs to be replaced, fuse problems (don't know how to test to find the problem), and the alarm doesn't work. The engine works fine, suspension, shocks, and such need repair (don't know what the real problem is). I was just wondering if someone could help me price how much I would be spending to fix the problems like the fuse issues, suspension and shocks, because I just want to make sure my car runs for at least another 10-15 years if not the duration of my life. I'm a college student on a college student budget, but could find financial help with family. If you had these problems in what order would you fix them and how muchwould a good mechanic charge to fix these problems. I don't want to take my car to the dealer because I can't afford it. Thank you for any help.
