checked this baby out today and she was very impressive. was my first time driving an s-type and i liked it. its the v6. very lightly used interior with no broken / worn bits. only issue is the famous parking brake fault , accompanied by the constant beeping - which i have read up on in the forum and will be asking the seller to replace the battery first. all in all a nice car , no clunks / shimmies. the rubber on it is shot , sso that led to slight vibrations above 50. all in all im excited. i ddnt know how the view behind the wheel was going to be... thats a major thing for me. i liked that you could see the hood out in front of you with the leaper poking out. here are some pics. we agreed to $8500.

 

Looks great, congrats! But I would get that dealer sticker off the backend ASAP .

Looks like it has been updated by the yellow sticker under the hood.

Remember there are alot of common issues solved in the FAQ thread here under the S Type/ S Type R, many DIYs with pics .

 

thanks rick , i havent picked it up yet.. but yes , he will not be getting free advertising out of me! i have already begun perusing this section of the forums as i am already well versed with the x308 area. i gave a good look under the bonnet and didnt notice any weeps etc etc , car idled very smooth from cold start. i was again very impressed with the whole picture. the only thing is the 16" wheels have to go. i am looking at some 17" coventry's with vogue tires. i wont dare go over 17' here in the nyc area, but it needs something to fill in. i was actually thinking about wire wheels with white walls... circa old school mkII !! but that is a bit $$$$$

 

Looking good, enjoy!
As Rick says all the usual faults are well covered in the S section, if you do find a problem.

 

domer94, she's a beautiful car. May you both have many years of enjoying rides together.

 

Sweet looking car!

 

That one looks just like mine. Good luck with it and congrats!

 

Nice! Love the racing green!

 

Awesome pick up! Very clean and looks beautiful.

Great looking vehicle! Love the taillight bezels, now what about the headlight chrome bezels?
