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 design chief Ian Callum rules out station wagons

Wed, Apr 20 2016

If you liked the idea of a Jaguar wagon and were secretly hoping that the British automaker might bring one over, we have some unfortunate news for you. Not only will the company not bring any wagons to the North American market, but according to design chief Ian Callum, it won't be making any at all. "The [wagon] market is massively shrinking. I'm very sad about it but it's a very difficult market to justify," Callum told Automotive News Europe. German automakers Audi, BMW, and Mercedes can make wagons work because their home market is the largest for wagons in the world and any wagons they sell elsewhere are just chocolate icing on the Black Forest cake. For its part, Jaguar has produced two wagon models in the X-Type and the previous XF Sportbrake. That's a shame in Jaguar's case, because the XFR-S Sportbrake was a heck of a ride that left us wondering why anyone would want something taller. Those of like mind, we suppose, will just have to content themselves instead with German wagons like the Audi A6 Allroad, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes E-Class, and Volkswagen Golf SportWagen – and hope that Volvo doesn't get squeezed out of the wagon market as well.

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced

Wed, Jul 6 2016

Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.

Jaguar spotted testing hardcore F-Type SVR

Tue, Jul 7 2015

Jaguar keeps churning out more and more potent versions of the F-Type. And if these latest spy shots are anything to go by, it's got an even more powerful version in the works. Spotted undergoing testing near the Nurburgring is what appears to be a more hardcore variant of Coventry's shapely sports car. Beneath the usual swirly camouflage we can make out a reshaped front end with a deeper splitter and bigger air vents, along with a giant rear wing affixed to the tail atop an enlarged diffuser and quad exhaust tips. The wheels look like they're mounted to a lowered suspension and pack bigger carbon-ceramic brakes as well. Following the Range Rover Sport SVR, Jaguar is likely to label the new F-Type performance flagship as an SVR as well. Jaguar spokesman Richard Agnew confirmed to Autoblog that the R-S badge that previously adorned the most potent Jags is being phased out. That leaves the SVR badge as the most likely to appear on the back of this beast once it reaches production, although that much has yet to be confirmed: "As we stated when Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations was formed," says Agnew, "it is our intention to create a high-performance Jaguar SVR and we are currently evaluating what product to launch first." Nameplates aside, we're more interested in what this amped-up F-Type is packing underneath. We'll likely be looking at an even further enhanced version of the company's signature 5.0-liter supercharged V8 pumping out a good 600 horsepower, which would eclipse both the 550 hp in the F-Type R and the 575 in the Project 7 speedster – potentially driving all four wheels. We'll just have to sit tight to find out, but in the meantime you can scope out the spy shots in the gallery above for a closer look at what Jaguar's Special Vehicle Operations division has got in the cooker.
