my ex had a 1995 xj and it would lend credence to Simons comments on the electrical faults. Hers was always showing warning lights and the windows, wipers and many other moving parts worked when they felt like it.

are you just looking for a nice car to use daily or was it that an xj has been on your want list and it would tick two boxes? If its a work horse you're looking for the older mercedes are great cars, the ones made prior to the american ownership.
