Common questions

How much does a Jaguar XJS cost?

A 1975 Jaguar XJS cost $15,500 new. Over the past 12 months, 34 have sold publicly at a median of $9,900. The Shifty Estimate for a well-kept example is $15,100. Across the sales we have on file, prices ran from $1,950 to $207,200, depending on mileage, color, and history.

What is a 1975 Jaguar XJS worth today?

The Shifty Estimate is $15,100, down 12.7% over the past 12 months. That sits above the $9,900 median of actual sales because the median counts every car that sold, including high-mileage examples, while the estimate describes a clean, low-mileage one bought today. We rate confidence medium: 34 public sales in a year is a thin market, and the spread between them is wide.

Is a Jaguar XJS a good investment?

It has depreciated 3% against its $15,500 list price. Values are down 12.7% over the past 12 months. The caution is spread, not direction: across the sales we have on file, prices ran from $1,950 to $207,200, and mileage explains most of that.

About the 1975 Jaguar XJS

The XJS emerged from Jaguar's darkest hour as an unlikely survivor that would outlast nearly every contemporary. Malcolm Sayer's final design replaced the beloved E-Type in 1975, trading pure sports car DNA for grand touring sophistication. That controversial choice proved prescient, the XJS became Jaguar's longest-running model at 21 years. Early cars suffered from Lucas electrical gremlins and Leyland build quality, but the bones were brilliant: a 5.3-liter V12 wrapped in timeless pillarless coupe bodywork. The 1981 HE (High Efficiency) update improved reliability and economy, while convertible and 6-cylinder variants broadened appeal. Today's collectors prize well-maintained V12 examples, particularly pre-facelift cars with their purer lines. Values remain accessible compared to E-Types, making the XJS a compelling entry into V12 Jaguar ownership, assuming you've budgeted for proper maintenance of that glorious but thirsty twelve-cylinder heart.
