| I have 2001 s type and have had atransmission problem which was finally resolved but now I'm having electrical problems and the dealer can't figure out whats wrong. Fuse #21 located under the glove box keeps blowing every 4 days. When it blows the AC, Radio and all the gauges stop working and the lights stay on. They say it can be 1 of 4 modules or a wire. Has anyone had similiar problems? Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in the Orlando area? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. | |

Hello to all...My husband and I met with a salesman yesterday with one of our local Jaguar dealers...He is trying hard to sell us the 07'"demo" with 5,000 miles on it and only discounted the car by $3,000. The warranty, of course, would be deleted by these miles. Since the 08' is the last year of production for this car, I am thinking that it may retain it's value as a "collector's" car in the future...Any thoughts out there on this?!! This dealer has a brand new 08' in the color and options that I want, however, this salesman was a bit of a schmuck....was very confrontational with us...and I know their service dept. from the past and don't care to deal with them in the future...He tried very hard to get us to wait for the new XF model for sale in March 08'. I don't like the looks of this car regardless of all the new techno details. To me, it looks nothing like a traditional Jaguar..and don't quite understand why Jaguar is going this direction. I don't want a Jaguar that has a glowing and pulsating red ignition switch that "comes alive' when I start it...Too much stainless steel look and not much of the tradition that makes a Jaguar what it has been in the past history. I'm sure tecnno automobile enthusiasts will love it and it will be a real thrill on the Autobon... Any intelligent comments will be appreciated..thank you...and Best Regards, Marchgirl |

Value will sink like a rock as soon as you drive off the lot and will stay there until it is rust. I love my 04 S but understand the financial cost of that love. I agree that from what I have seen, I like my old model more. Also NEVER buy the first year of any model. But from their point of view, they must update or die. The demographic mix must get younger to sale the cars. As they say "You can sell a young mans car to an old man but you can't sale an old mans car to a young man." |

| Given the pricing just announced for the XF, who the heck is going to buy a new 2008 S-Type ???? | |

Replying to: marchgirl (Nov 11, 2007 5:54 pm) "Your" dealer is hiding the swampland from you. There is no, repeat, NO legitimacy to this offr. Not only are you being "offered" an absolutely confidence deal on a USED CAR, you are also being gouged in that there is "no waranty". I don't know where you are however, it is easy enough to search for other same/similar type Jags in other areas as you obviously have access to the internet. BTW-That is how I found my almost perfect 1993 XJS convertible. I found it at a legitimate dealer in texas and I am in WI. Tell this con artist that you KNOW what he is attempting to to to your checkbook and will remember it.

Replying to: xjsguy (Nov 16, 2007 8:11 am) Anyway, I'm happy with my 2008, black S-type Jaguar...I've already researched the snow tires for it...although I don't really need to be out in the bad weather anymore.. Best of luck to you! (whomever you are..!) Best Regards, Marchgirl PS. I'm in the beautiful Northeast!

I have a 2002 S-Type 4.0 with 80,000 miles. Recently tuned, but still misfires when under load (acceleration) in Drive. Runs very smooth at cruising speed. All other gears, no problem. Also misfires occasionally when idling. Anyone had a similar problem...with a solution? Thanks.

Any suggestions on where to take it for reliable advice? As for the phone, not crazy about the portable parrot; isn't there a way to plug into existing phone system? Thank you. |
