2005 Jaguar S-type Base Sedan 4-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Charleston, South Carolina, United States
|
For sale is my 2005 Jaguar S-Type with 155,000 miles. It was purchased from the Jaguar dealership at 38,000 miles.
Exterior - Noticeable scratches and an area by the fuel door where the paint has come off completely. It has an invisible bra on the front and all 4 factory rims. Pictures show car with 20" chrome rims. Interior - Kept clean aside from the interior roof. On several occasions, I left the sunroof raised which caused damaged to the lining; therefore I took it off completely. I spoke with a guy that stated he could repair for $400 but after the compressor went out again, my desire to move forward with this was non-existent. Mechanical - No air but heat works. I live in SC which is very humid so during the summer, my ac is normally operating at full capacity. The compressor first went out in July 2012 so I had the local Jaguar dealership install a new one with a price tag of $1800. The very next summer (2013), the compressor went out again which I thought was strange so I believe the dealership either 1) didn't install it properly or 2) installed a used/refurbished compressor. I called them immediately and they stated the warranty was only for a year and I was outside the warranty by a month. I refused to install another compressor and parked. The Restricted Performance" light is also laminated when you first start driving the car. After a few minutes, it goes off. Since I question the credibility of the local jaguar dealership, I took it to Firestone to run a diagnostic check. Based on the code revealed, I let them fix it; however, t the light is still laminated and I haven't taken it back. This light is associated with the check engine light. And lastly since the car has been parked, it sputters when it is first started. My brother suggests spark plugs but I'm not sure. I do know that this wasn't an issue before I parked it. Collisions - None but I was involved in an incident. There had been an accident and we were traveling by going less than 30 mph. The car behind me tapped me in the back. The only damage was all the paint was gone on my bumper. There was no dents or dings but I filed a report to ensure my car would be painted promptly. For me, this has been a good car but definitely getting older. I commuted to work an hour each way for 5 years and this car never put me down. Partly because I never abused it and always took caring for it seriously. And don't let the name fool you. This car is not expensive to maintain. For example, the compressor I replaced was a Ford product and the wiper blades motor I replaced also fit a Lincoln. I have revealed everything I've experienced with this car which is reflected in the price. Any questions, please ask. |

Jaguar F-Type Coupe patent images exposed, 4-cyl coming?
Fri, 03 May 2013Last year, Jaguar told us that "if you get a convertible right, it's easy to do a coupe" in reference to a coupe version of the Jaguar F-Type, and now we might be seeing our first unofficial look at a hardtop version of the convertible. The German publication Auto Motor und Sport has dug up what it is reporting to be patent images filed by Jaguar showing the lines of the new coupe.
If these are actually patent drawings, they have definitely been enhanced with color and shadowing compared to what we usually see from OEM patent filings. We wouldn't be surprised if they are just altered images of Jaguar's C-X16 Concept, but either way, it's going to be a sharp car. On top of the new coupe, the article also says that the F-Type could be getting the same 240-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine that is currently used in the Jaguar XF, as well as the Land Rover LR2 and Range Rover Evoque.
2016 Jaguar F-Type debuts available manual transmission, AWD
Wed, 19 Nov 2014If you're like us, you fell in the deepest, darkest sort of love with Jaguar's F-Type the moment its voluptuous form first surfaced. The car's full-bodied engine specs only furthered our ardor, and the droptop Jag sealed the deal before we even turned a wheel - all it took was hearing its engine bark to life.
And yet, even after driving the original convertible and the subsequent coupe, we've never quite shaken the notion that Jaguar erred a bit too heavily on the Grand Touring side of the equation for a proper sports car. That's partially because even the base model comes with a boatload of weight-adding luxury features. But perhaps more importantly, it's because the F-Type has only been available with an automatic transmission. Admittedly, the gearbox in question is a damned good paddle-shifted eight-speed ZF unit, but it's always chafed a bit that Jaguar wasn't committed to offering purists a manual - even if such a model would never be a high-volume proposition.
Apparently we weren't the only ones bothered by three-pedal omission. According to Russ Varney, F-Type Vehicle Program Director,
2013 Jaguar XF 2.0T
Fri, 10 May 2013Jaguar is moving to modernize its XF engine lineup - once the exclusive territory of V8 mills - with a range including a turbo four, a supercharged six and supercharged V8s of various potencies. Personally, I'll miss the combination of this smooth looking and driving XF sedan, and the lazy power of the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter engine, even if the super six has earned some praise in other applications.
The truth is that the four, six, eight lineup for the XF makes a lot of sense, and this 2.0T version of the sedan is far better than I expected it to be. In fact, there's a legitimate argument to be made for it as the XF that works the best for the largest group of customers. Here's why:
