I'm seriously considering a 95 XJS V12 6.0L - allways loved them allways wanted one - this one has 60k on the clock and is being sold as is with no warranty - the selling dealer also has no service history on the car as it was an auction purchase - so I'd be buying an unknown -

Cosmetically it is imaculate - starts immediately , idles smoothly, and drives beautifully -

I need some sound advice as to what specifically to look for 'possible problem' wise.......
Or should I just pay my local Jag mechanic / or Jag dealer to give it a detailed 'once over' prior to purchase -

should I also pay for a compression test just to be sure ?

Dealer is asking $18k for the car and I'm hoping to get it for arround $16,500.00 - if all goes well.

Any words of wisdom and things to look out for would be much appreciated.

Sincerely

James Brinkley.
