Didn't see this one coming
What can I say; buy the car on a Monday and have over $3,000 in repairs before the weekend. The bleeding doesn't stop there. Make the monthly payment and triple that for repairs. Has been that way for over a year now. Been paying $9 per lug nut, $1000 for a starter w/o installation, just lose the key, or have the hood ornament taken. The leather fades in color, the sun roof sticks, and the car only starts when it feels like it. Doesn't drive well at all in any amount of snow. It stays at home, it won't move! My dream is my worst nightmare. Anyone can afford to buy a Jag, but not many can afford to keep one. The parts are dealer only, no aftermarket, and are about 400% more. Sad!
Love my Jag!
I bought my 2000 Jag S-Type in 2008 with only 30,000 original miles. It now has 57K but has had some AC/Heater problems fortunately covered by the extended warranty which cost close to 4,300 to repair. The sensor in the gas tank seems to cause the Check Engine light to come on and off when the tank is full or empty. So I live with that knowing that there is a sensitive problem with the CE light and gas tank. The car is a real eye catcher and the ride is so smooth. I love the way the car seems to hug you too. My only concern is that I have left my car and come back and found my windows down and sunroof open. My husband believes me now since it happened to him also. Weird. I still love my Jag!
My Jag
I love this car! One of must beautifull cars in the world!!!
S-type two years later
After comparison shopping (Volvo bi- turbos, BMW 540) bought a demo S-type in August 2000. Two years later I can report that the experience has been perfect - I mean PERFECT! Since delivery NOTHING has gone wrong with this car - not only no big things but not even a loose stitch in the upholstery or a rattle. It's been 100% reliable. I am an aggressive driver and appreciate and use the ABS and traction control features regularly. The engine is silky smooth with an appropriate growl which comes in at about half throttle. The transmission is good - not great. Slowly depressing the throttle gets you accelerated much faster with less fuss.
Looks great; pity about the mechanics
Love the outside, pity about the workmanship. Yes the interior doesn't hold much room, but I didn't buy it for that. Unfortunately just after the warantee finished both front windows fell off their levers costing and arm and a leg to fix. The moulding on the front of the car also came away.
