I made a double take on the title of this thread and rolled laughin when I realized what it was. haha love the spirit of you guys, another reason i love my XJ- knowing other people love it as much as I do(and more i'm sure) and are there to help the rest of us out too.
'86 with just under 250k, takes a beating and keeps on rolling. I had little mechanical experience before owning this and its been a great project to learn on as i go. couldn't ask for anything better and wouldn't change my $800(before upgrades) decision for anything.

Just got my '96, 160k. Needs some fluid changes, shocks, some suspension bits, windshield. I think it's a keeper, though, so I'm not going to shy away from dumping a little money into it to extend the life.

I took a 96 Sport that had been sitting for over a year with a bad brake line. replaced the brake line and the front pads and rotors, charged the battery over night and did a oil change. then my girlfriend drove from central ct to central fla 0 issues. I'm impressed.
