Car Forum / Jaguar Cars / March 2004Thinking about buying a 2003 S-Type
Hello, I was wondering has anyone from this news group purchased a used Jaguar from ths company. www.texascarsdirect.com They have 2003 s-types with low milage. The selling prices are very attractive. Starting at $28k. Any comments?? Thank you all Run from Jags.... > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Thank you all Interesting comment "Run from Jags" I have a Full sized Dodge van with 77,000 miles on it that is a nightmare, A Nissan 300ZX which is a great car --except to work on, A Chrysler Mini-van with a Mitsubishi engine that isn't worth the money for a bullet to put it out of it's misery and 3 Jags. The '88 XJ40 has nearly 200,000 trouble free miles on it except for the ordinary niggles of any car with 200,000 miles and I would drive it coast to coast without a worry. I have two 37 year old Jags one of which is show and the other is a daily driver and has been for 37 years. I can't tell you about a 2003 S-Type, but if it is anything like my 1967 S-Type you should run TO the car -- not away from it!! Go to a couple of Jag website and read what other owners are saying Webserve > Run from Jags.... > > Hello, [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > > > Thank you all interesting comment .... I have had 3 jags, 2 Daimlers and now an XJ Sport. One Daimler I traded at 250,000km never had a thing wrong other than the usual consumables. The current 'sport is 7 years old, has 102,000km on it and is far more reliable than any ford or GM car I have ever had (and I have had plenty of them). The comment "run from jags" may have been worthy in the dark days of Leyland ownership, but not since Ford bought the company and put some much needed capital into it. The comment is a typical one from the uninformed...........

Thats a pretty stupid and unhelpful comment. Of the recent cars I have owned, my '03 S-Type has been the most enjoyable and trouble free. Recent Cars: 1993 Audi S4 - Lemon Law Buyback 1994 Saab Turbo Convertible - No major issues 1995 Saab 900SE V6 - Traded at 30k miles on third engine 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 - One of the worst ever. 4 trannys 1998 VW GTI - No Major Issues 2000 VW New Beetle Turbo - Lots of electrical gremlins 2000 Suzuki GV - Engine melted down at 97k miles AC never worked 2004 Jeep Libery - So far so good 2003 Jaguar S-Type R - Not a single problem. Love it. Any car from any manuafacturer has the potential to suck. If a Jag is what you like, buy it. T >Run from Jags.... >> Hello, [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >> >> Thank you all I bought a 2000 XJ8 from them three years ago. The car was 16 months old and had 16,600 miles and looked brand new. There was still over 2 years left on the factory warantee - didn't need it, nothing ever went wrong. I am very happy with the car and the dealer. I plan on getting another in a couple of years from them. >Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Thank you all We just bought a 03 S-type and LOVE it!!!!! We did a lot of research on these cars and determined that the S-type was the way to go. The only thing to be an issue is the warranty, With ours we ended up with the remainder of the factory warranty and the used car warranty that lasts to 100,000 miles or I think till 2009. Good luck!!! Shamus 03 S-type Make sure you get a good long warranty. You'll need it. I'm on my second Jag and sorry I got into this new disaster. I figured they improved but NO NO NO... > We just bought a 03 S-type and LOVE it!!!!! We did a lot of research on > these cars and determined that the S-type was the way to go.
