Ebay item 4/12/19
www.ebay.com/itm/1994-Jaguar-XJS/273803379688
Opening bid US $11,500, no bids no reserve, 2 days left in auction buy it now price $18,000, 64k miles seller mrmarkup.
Seller's description:
This is just out of the shop, so I'm listing a 3-day auction with everything as is. Here's the story:
Bought this '94 XJS Coupe with 4.0L six-cyl with all factory amenities plus sunroof from restorer who repaired and re-registered it. I put on a set of genuine Jaguar-badged 72-spoke Dayton wire wheels. I've owned it eight years, used it as my daily driver, and for the first five years was the most reliable car I've ever owned and the cheapest to own and operate.
For two of the last three, I've either been overhauling/upgrading or enjoying. For the last year, I've had a gremlin in the electricals. Several months including having two shops officially give up. Brought home last weekend with the idea of replacing a relay & got enough control of transmission electricals to be fully driveable. I haven't bothered with a CarFax - it has 43 items on the report - because I've owned the car for eight years and its history is documented and its condition available for examination.
'94 model, Jaguar XJS Coupe, 2+2, new front leather, new front carpets, new walnut veneer, upgraded Alpine head unit with MP-3 player, power air, seats, cruise and transmission mode controls. Cold air and everything working. Tires have an easy year or more of life available.
Transmission overhauled, motor replaced & overhauled, new radiator, transmission control module, valve body/solenoids, alternator & belts replaced over last two years.
Still to be done: About $500 in small stuff that nobody has done while not fixing the big stuff - mostly new bushings in front end, cleaning/gapping or replacing plugs & plug wires. The "big thing" has been the gremlin in the trans electricals. As of right now, you set the trans to start in second gear until you warm up the tranny. Then stop, set the trans to sport shift, restart and drive. Downshifting will be a little noticeable until you're highway-speed-warm.
The hotter you drive this car, the smoother everything runs. I ran it earlier this week nearly cold at 3000RPM on a humid spring day.
I haven't even washed it before I snapped the one picture I've posted. If you know what a Jaguar is, you know what I'm selling. Opening bid is what I need to clear from it within 2-4 weeks, plus enough to cover eBay/PayPal's fees. The "as-is" auction ends at midnight Sunday. If nobody is ready to buy, I'll keep fixing the "little stuff" and tuning & tweaking the rest. As more things get fixed, the price for the Jag will keep going up. Comparable models in this condition with well under 100K miles are going for $15,000 and up.
The only reason you could ever touch my baby is that she needs to be tinkered with regularly, and I'm 75 miles from anyone not afraid to open the hood. I have to let her go to a good home.

Car returns to ebay 11/28/21
Opening bid US $2,500, no bids 6 days left in auction, seller fairmarke_11, 63k miles, same location.
Seller's description:
If it weren't for a gremlin in the electrical system, this gem would be about 90% done. The good news first: 63K actual miles, new motor and radiator, overhauled transmission, new walnut veneers inside, new front leather and front carpets. Upgraded sound with MP3 player; sunroof, 72-spoke Dayton wire wheels with Jaguar badges, never wrecked, body & paint in good shape. It does have a salvage title - partially flooded in '05 but restored and re-registered fifteen years ago. I've owned it for ten and it's been my beloved daily driver. But - about two years ago the transmission started shifting rough out of first. Gradually it became rougher until the trans would go into "limp home" and lock out first and fourth - until you warmed up the car and restarted. The problem has gradually gotten worse until you generally have a two-speed trans. The problem goes with this model of ZF transmission, but no one can find a specific problem or solution. Either you have to trace and restore the wiring system, or try installing another new motor and trans and hope that improves the connections. I give up. I'm selling her as a project car. Aside from the electricals, she'll need between $500-1000 in tightening up the front end.
