I'm looking at a pretty nice low mileage 1991 Sovereign. I'm not very familiar with Jaguars, so was looking for some advice. Is the Sovereign basically a nicer version of an XJ-6?
What should I look for? The car has about 70,000 miles and runs and drives great. It has a slight tick, sounds like an injector or tappet. Everything works.
I've heard lot's of nightmare stories about Jaguars, are they even remotely true? I can fix just about anything on a car, so I'm not worried too much, but it looks like parts can be a bit expensive.
I can pick it up for $800 USD. It needs the following parts: Drivers headlight assembly, grill, drivers taillight assembly, hood. The hood is very fixable, but if I can find a nice one I'd rather just replace it. Somehow it was involved in a 4 car accident but didn't damage anything else.
Thanks
