I am considering buying an S Type SE in the UK. A year 2000 car on an X
plate with 37000 miles on the clock. The Jaguar dealer wants £8995 for it
with a year's warranty. What do you guys think of the price? Also do you
have any recommendations for warranty companies. I heard warrantiesdirect
are good.

Any advice gratefully received.

My wife recently paid £8,150 for a 1999/2000 X-plate S type SE with
70,000 miles and my research showed that wasn't too high a price - it
was in exceptionally good condition for its age/mileage.

So I would say that's a reasonable price, especially with dealers
warranty. You could find cheaper on www.autotrader.co.uk though.

There are plenty cheaper to buy on autotrader, but I suppose the peace of
mind from buying from a Jaguar main dealer is worth the premium.
