hi, i live in canada, and i am about to buy my first jag.

jaguar s type 2000 3.0 with about 85thousand KM on it (52thousand Miles for us people)

i had it inspected by a mechanic who said it has an oil leak, and it will need a new timing belt at 100k
the oil leak i beilve will cost about 500-600$

the final price i negotiated was $7,500 CAD ($6,800 USD) - will not go lower at all.

do you think i should buy it or not? thanks.

i have also read almost everywhere in reviews that jaguar s type 2000 are EXTREMELY unreliable, and because you can only get the parts from a jaguar dealer, the cost is at about 400% mark up
advice? tips? what should i do?

 

CSM, only being a member to the forums for about 9 monthes. I have read many posts about the year vehicle you are interested in. I personally would not do it. But you will have better luck to your answers in the S Type area.

 

CSM --+1 on that.
As k the quesation in the S type section where it will be viewed primarily by S type owners who can better answer your question.

Good luck
