I recently picked up a 1990 XJR for 1000$. It has 195k miles on the engine and so far runs great. I was really surprised. It actually seems like a pretty nice car. I have not driven it very much and don't plan to. I drove it about 50 miles and no issues. I am going to have it looked over by a mechanic and wondering if the problems are not too bad if its worth putting any money into the upholstery and body/engine for resale? I know the electrical needs to be fixed on a lot of the interior but I knew this buying the car. I also understand the problems could be anything really. The body is in pretty good shape and only has one minor dent on it. The paint could be redone. And I know paint and interior can cost a lot next to engine work. I don't mind putting love into this car if it has the potential to give back. I am in the states on the west coast. I don't plan to do much of the work myself and I know that's another big factor in costs. Any profit even 50$ over what I invest into it would be fine. Just wondering if this car is worth fixing up or should I just sell it as is? I do like the car. Hoping to mabey trade up or should II just sell it as is and try and get more than 1k back?

 

I ment XJ6

 

You appear new, so welcome.

The 1990 XJ6 is know in Jaguar talk as an XJ40.

Much more modern than the Series cars in this section.

I suggest a repost in the XJ40 section, where you will get answers specific to that car.
