Hello All,

I always wanted to own a Jaguar! I have owned Jeep Cherokee, Wrangler, Toyota Corolla. I am planning to buy an used Jaguar S-type car. After using it for 3 to 4 years, will either continue with the same Jaguar or go for another Jaguar model.

To begin with, I don't want to invest a lot and also don't want to go beyond 10 years old car. I am not aware of the repair costs and maintenance expense.

Currently I am looking at a 2006 Jaguar S-type 3.0 L V6, which has 86,000 miles andis available with a private seller. He might quote a price and of course we will negotiate.

Kindly let me know:

1. What should be the average price of a 2006 Jaguar S-type 3.0 L that is in good condition with 86,000 miles?
2. In my town/city I live in, we don't have a Jaguar Dealer/Service center. Will regular garages and mechanic shops do oil changes and repair work? Ford has owned Jaguar for a while, will their Service centers repair them?
3. Generally there is a myth about imported cars like Jaguar and German made cars that they are VERY expensive to maintain and repair. Doing some research online....it looks like, the Maintenance and/or repair costs will be approximately 50% more than regular vehicles made by Jeep, Honda, Toyota etc.
4. Pros and Cons
5. Any additional information / suggestions?

Thanks in Advance!

 

Welcome.

I am biased, and DOWN here, so i have NO input to suit your market.

I have always found my Jags reliable, cheap to keep, ONCE SORTED from the previous owner/slack maintainer/whatever, and that is where the $$ go.

My advice to anyone about any car:

That person is selling it for a reason, and the truth behind that is often clouded. You want a car (his maybe), and he wants your many, end of story.

The members in your market will slide through soon and offer their opinions.

Welcome to the forum Cherokee,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

There's nothing difficult about maintaining a Jaguar - it's repairs that can get expensive if you need to rely on professional help. A comprehensive service history detailing scheduled servicing and repairs with no unexplained gaps is critical when assessing any potential purchase.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s-type-s-type-r-supercharged-v8-x200-15/ to the S-Type forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

X-Type is a nice little luxury Jag. I had my third X-Type(all used), the reason Jag. Don't sale a lots of X-Type other than it got low rate by the media is: Jag. Only have the dealers in the big cities, lots of people want to buy an X-Type don't know where 's the dealers, and some were intimidate to walk in a new Jag. Dealer. Now, I have some advices if you want to buy a Jag. I see you look for a used X-Type, obviously you don't have much money like me, to own a Eurpean car repair and manternant are expensive, so you should be prepare to do the work yourself, buy a lowest mileage you can find and latest model year you can afford and take the best care you can do, invest in some set of tools, a good floor jack, a pair of ramps and a pair of jack stand, an OBD code reader.

 

 

Where did you dig this up?

The OP, Cherokee posted the question on October 18th 2015 and only visited the forum once again the following day.
