hmm

I've heard bad stuf about all the cars up until about 91...not bad engine wise, but other stuff like electricals. The Jaguar twin cam inline six is one of my favorite engines, and it's quite powerful at 245HP. Unlike with Benz, try to get the years right before they switched to the XJ8..I believe 96 or so. As a rule of thumb on the XJ's, I've heard anything from 91 on is pretty decent. Transmission is also I think a Ford/Borg Warner product, so fairly reliable. Good luck!
