Most popular Jaguar XJS for sale

I wrote two complaints about this transaction, provided photos and responses from the seller to E-Bay support showing clearly that the seller lied 1) about the mileage of the car and 2) about the interior condition of the car. The seller clearly took advantage of the E-Bay forum, knowing that the potential buyer pool may very well be out of the area to review prior to the purchase, and dishonestly represented the vehicle to promote a sale and a better selling price for that sale. My complaints resulted in nothing and I am dismayed that inspite of providing proof of my claims, the seller is still able to utilize E-Bay. I did go through square trade...what a joke. All that did was cost me another $100.00 and made the seller feel more empowered that they did not have to workanything out...In less than 48 hours, the Square Trade "mediator" threw in the towel. My main issue with this transaction was that the seller listed the mileage of the vehicle to be over 29,000 miles less than it actually is. I am preparing to write to a couple of government agencies that look into internet fraud and since E-Bay has taken no action against this seller I can only assume this is OK with you...I am surprised. Perhaps some good will come out of all of this that may protect future buyers. I have purchased 6 vehicles on E-Bay prior to this one and only had a problem with one, to which the seller worked things out with me. I think this shows that I am was looking for something for nothing from this seller...the interior of the car was also much, much worse than described or pictured. Also, my feedback is perfect...I have not had a problem such as this before. Now you send me a questionaire about this transaction, after the complaint letters Wrote? Whats up with that? I would have expected some sort of response directed at my complaint, not asking me what I thought of a transaction that I have strongly raised issues with in several letters to your support department. I had thought of just never using E-Bay again, but then I figured the seller wins again an my transactions are between the the other parties and myself...I will not buy another car on here again though. This will not affect you in the least, i realize that. But again, perhaps my complaints to some outside agencies may bring about change, if not from my individual letter then perhaps from a multitude of other complaints as well. I am thinking perhaps E-Bay has gotten too big to be able to hold its sellers accountable and perhaps too big to care. Anyway, I have wriiten to you enough on this transaction already, so I will just end by stating again that I am dissapointed by this transaction and very surprised by E-Bay's apparent approval of the sellers tactics.

Sincerely dissapointed,

I own a 1995 Jaguar XJS Convertible (Black). To me, there is nothing classier than this car in black with a black top...although, the 2 tones are nice, they don't compare to the classic black on black roadsters. I bought mine for $15,000 last year and I couldn't believe that I could afford such an awesome car for so little. Why would anyone go out and buy a new one for $80,000 - $100,000 when you can own a 1995 or 1996 model, which I still believe is the most beautiful model Jaguar has ever designed, for under $15,000. The 95' and 96' models have the "cat's eye" lense head lights as opposed to the previous models that had the 4 circular lamps...once again, the 95' and 96' models are much classier than the previous year models for this reason alone. Also, I believe that 95' was the first year after Ford had completely renovated the production line at Jaguar and made countless improvements. One more thing, my Jag has the 4.0 liter 6 cylinder motor...this thing has some get up when it's needed, but still manages to get between 20-24 mpg (high octane only)...the only problem that I've heard of with this motor was the catalitic converters were recalled by the factory because they were causing the exhaust manifolds to crack. Mine was recalled and fixed before I bought it and I haven't had any problems since then. If you do buy one of these Jaguar XJS Convertibles, you'll be glad you did! I get compliments on mine every day I drive it!!!

This is not a typical 1990 Jag XJS. The car, 19 years old, had only 9,500 verified miles on it since new. It is in flawless show condition without a mar, scratch or dent. (It is a good idea to have such a purchase get an independent inspection, which I did.) Since it was the original rubber, I had all five tires replaced with factory equipment, Pirelli P600s. I can't say enough about the dealer, Andy Charless. He was honest, responsive and attentive to detail. I highly recommend him.
