Well as you can tell I am new to this forum and even newer to Jaguars. I have always been a fan of Jags but have never really looked into purchasing one until I found my next potential purchase. I found a black on black 2000 S-Type it is automatic, 4.0L 8 Cyl., alloy wheels, CD player, heated seat-driver,heated seat-passenger,leather interior, and sunroof. The only drawback is it has 130,842 miles. The price is $5975, but should be able to get them to drop the price to $5,500 or $5,000.I really haveno idea of what to expect andknow nothingabout Jags, soI guess whatI am asking is what canI expect from this car and what shouldI know aboutthem?

Thanks,

Thanks for the welcome racerx82, but i was wondering about the problems others have had (valve cover, gaskets, timing chain tensioner, ignition coils, coolant tank, thermostat, and transmission). I can not inspect the car until I go topurchase it since the car is located in Minnesota and I live in New York, so i just want to know what to inspect when i go to look at the car.

Thanks,

Why would you travel that distance to purchase a car with that many
miles? If it was a Mercedes or BMW I would say fine, they have
proven motors. Inspect it firstor walk away

 

Well from the looks of it I wont be getting the car as itwas sold
