They have a completely different and updated Jaguar-designed and built engine coupled with a ZF German built automatic transmission and new suspension system and brakes. Electical problems are rare and easily repaired. Even in an XJ-40, look for one that is clean, rust-free, and current in its repairs and maintenance, or great expense will ensue. I sold my last one, an XJ-40 Vanden Plas, in very good condition, for $3,000 cash in 2010. New in 1992, it sold for nearly $60k.

I also disrecommend, with great prejudice, the early 2000's Jag X-type, aka, baby Jag. The darn engine was shoehorned in so tightly under the hood that what should have been minor repairs required the engine and trans to be removed, from under the car, as an assembly. Add to that the fact that they came from the factory with a leaking oil pan gasket that was not under warrantee and, yep, the engine had to come out and be separated from the tranny to fix it. It was based on a German Ford car and came with numerous in-built problems one would expect from a Taurus.
