I love my 2002 S type. I bought it almost 4 years ago and now it has 103,000 miles. Previously I drove 4X4 SUVs so I drive my Jag hard. I had owned Jags in the early 90's and they were horrible. Ford did a nice job and the best deal is that most of the parts are Ford parts and cheaper to buy. I've had a few minor problems like a couple cracked vaccum lines (easy fix). I needed my first tune up at 100,000 (normal) and replaced 1 bad coil pack. Make sure a Jag mechanic performs the tune-up. It's pricey, about $1100.
By mistake my mechanic did the tune up and reversed the vaccum and air lines and blew a rod in the block. I bought a used Le Sabre block for $400 and swapped the heads. All the engine blocks are Ford, but the head are Jaguar. A complete "Jaguar" engine would have been over $3000.
The S type body style is a classic. I still get so many compliments what a beautiful car my S Type is after being on the road for 5 years.

Thanks for your honest comments..I'm looking and still can't see the difference of a regular SType vs the SType R...I'm looking for low mileage and can't believe your first tuneup was at 100,000....how's the AC working for you? What year would you get (used) if you decided to move up from the 2003??? Thanks for any imput...

#11 of 68 Where do you find color name on the vehicle? by hygar

Just bought a 2006 S type. It is black, but I don't know if it is ebony or midnight. The dealer said to look under the hood and it would say, but I can't find anything there. I need the name for the correct touch up pen from Jaguar. Had it 2 months and love the car in every way! Fell in love with the classic style in the 60's and the current s type form 2000 on. It will be a permanent member of our family. Thank you if anyone knows where I can find the color name. Just not sure if it is ebony or midnight.

Any Jaguar dealership can look up the color in the warranty database based on the last 6 digits of your vin.

What is the residual% and money factor on the 4.2 L S-Type 2005 for a 24 month lease and 36months

Here is the information that you are looking for supertle. According to the latest information that I have seen, if you were to lease a 2005 Jaguar S-Type 4.2L through Jaguar Credit right now for 24 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00023 and 42%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 24 month lease should be .00015 and 52%. When negotiating your lease on this car, make sure to keep in mind that Jaguar is providing $3,500 dealer cash on it. This cash is compatible with Jaguar Credit's special lease program and will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost.

I'd be happy to give you an update, guitars1. If you were to lease a 2005 Jaguar S-Type 4.2L through Jaguar Credit's new fourth quarter lease program for 24 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00001 and 52%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease should be .00013 and 41%. When negotiating your lease on this car, make sure to keep in mind that Jaguar is providing $3,500 dealer cash on it. This cash is compatible with Jaguar Credit's special lease program and will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost.
