The Ford Motor Company bought Jaguar in about 1988 or 1989 and continued to own that company until the big economic collapse of 2008. During the 20 years or so of Ford ownership the quality and reliability of the Jaguar product got better each and every year. A 1991 XJ6 sedan has the potential to be a very good car. While they had more electronic gizmos that can get out of sorts, the AJ6 engine and ZF transmissions made a very strong and reliable drivetrain. Probably the only negative on this car is that the rear brakes were still mounted "inboard" and are much more labor intensive for maintenance and repairs. Somewhere along about 1993 or 94 the rear brakes were moved to the "outboard" position and are much easier to work on. Hope this helps!
