to anyone thinking about buying a jaguar, i would advice you to not buy one. i have only had this car for less than a year and already spent over $2500 getting things fixed here and there, and to top it off my gearbox just broke, and looking online you see a lot of complaints about this and many other things and instead of jaguar to have a recall on this sort of things jaguar would not. Worst car ever made no wonder that indian company bought ''em cause no one else will

I take it you have a 2000 or 2001 S type. Had you been a member prior to buying your Jag instead of coming in and bitching about your poor selection you would have read about those years and been able to make a better decision. So blame yourself not the car. 2003 and newer Jags have very few issues. by the way I have a 2000 S Type.
Oh! Welcome to the forum.

Ditto.
I have a 2000 as well and I haven''t had the tranny problems either.
The shifter......... Yes, but I replaced that myself - simple.
To alleviate the problem of shifting out of park, make sure you apply the emergency brake prior to shifting into park and releasing the brake pedal.
Have a nice day

ditto to that ; I learned before I bought my S-type (thru research) that..
1) You never put your S-type in park until you''ve applied the parking brake first.
2) That you can count on a number of repairs before the "bugs" are worked out. (points, headlights, liner, brakes...)
I''ve hated the repairs, but they weren''t unexpected - but I still love my car, the comments people make about how beautiful it is, the great gas mileage on the 3.0 (21/29) and the smooth ride I get zooming down the Turnpike at 80 mph!
That said, I''m still not sure my next ride will be another Jaguar................

Yup, when everything is working the car is fantastic. I''ve had problems with other cars as well. OK, so maybe the window did not fall into the door and hide but, as they say shit happens. Everycar I have owned I engage emergancy brake than apply the park so wieght of the car is on the brake not tranny.

Dejinero never stated age, miles, condition of his recent purchase. No sympathy for a non CPO Jag or any other pre owned. Buyer beware especially if it was an auction car.
I purchased my 03 S type R from a Jag dealer with a CPO and never had a problem. I have an extended time warranty until 2010 (100K mi)!
As far as the tranny Jag purchases them from ZF a renouned manuf which is the same tranny in the BMWs.
Dejinero got what he paid for- an abused car.
He can also purchase a 3rd party extended warranty if he wants to stop bitching.

No matter what car you are thinking of getting, always do your homework for that specific vehicle before buying. I trip out when people do more research when buying a computer than they would when it comes to a car. The advice he/she should be giving is "Do your homework first!". Guess who loses for not knowing what he/she was getting into.
