#11 of 15 S-Type & S-Type-R by n92cp May 29, 2009 (1:08 pm)
I have a 2002 S-Type 3.0 with over 100,000 miles and have had absolutely no trouble with it and love it. I recentl;y purchased a 2007 S-Type-R and like it even more. I would highly recommend either one.   Harold

Replying to: roy20 (Feb 27, 2007 2:26 pm) Not sure about '02's - I recently got an '05 S Type and I love it! 3.0 V-6 and irregardless of what car critics may say, the 3.0L V-6 has more than enough power. In "sport" mode (mine has the 6 speed automatic with Jaguar J-gate), this "cat will run".   I rented an '05 V-8 S type (back in '05 - yeah!) and that car's engine will knock you back in your seat, but the tank drained dry after about 180-190 miles (ouch)!   I'm averaging 22-23 mpg in town/highway driving with the V-6   The Jaguar Select 100K powertrain warranty transfered over to me (2nd owner) as did the basic 4 yr/50K warranty (mine has 32K). I did buy an extra extended bumper to bumper warrantly for another 4 years/36K. So far, so good. Mine is Seafrost Metallic.   Good luck on your S-type search. They're out there for affordable prices. Look for a good lease return! Replies to this message: oldcem (Aug 19, 2009 8:57 pm)

Replying to: billyrockfish (Aug 11, 2009 9:12 am) Billy:   The first of the year I picked up an 06 S Type VDP with the V8. My wife and I took a 1600 mile vacation trip in it last week. With the trunk loaded, and, the A/C working hard (It was in the 90's all week), the car averaged 28.4 MPG for the entire trip.   Regards: OldCEM

I am looking at a 2003 jaguar with 120,000 miles on it. I am wondering what basic repairs would cost such as a fuel pump or new brakes. Replies to this message: oldcem (Aug 23, 2009 7:18 pm)

Replying to: linz1956 (Aug 23, 2009 4:34 pm) If you took it to a Jag dealer for these repairs, I expect you'd pay $1K + for either of these. If you can find a competent independent garage that can handle it, you should be able to get them done substantially cheaper ( I'd guess about 30% less) . I do all my own maintenance and minor repairs to my Jag, and, avoid the dealer except for warranty work. For example, I changed the rear brake pads on my previous Jag (an X-Type ) myself - cost me $50.   Regards: OldCEM
