I always wanted a Jag but had heard ALL of the horror stories (electrical/cost to fix/etc etc). Read hundreds of reviews about the '05 (a great year for this car), and went looking for an "S Type".
Cars like the S-Type and X-Type, which used Ford platforms, have been able to go over 100,000 miles quite easily and with minimal problems. Even after being bought by Tata Motors, Jaguar’s overall reliability and the average lifespan of its vehicles has closely matched more popular luxury brands like BMW, Mercedes Benz and Audi.
It's easy to get the wrong impression about some cars before you get to know them, as most Aztek owners will try to convince you. Study the vital stats, for example, of this brawny Jag S-type R
The current S-Type is no longer new, but that does not mean that Jaguar has left it untouched. For 2006, the lineup stays the same, with the V6 powered 3.0, V8-powered 4.2 and VDP Edition, and
Jaguar XJ13. The XJ13 – or eXperimental Jaguar 13 – shares nothing in common with the XJ saloon and is arguably the most beautiful race car never to turn a wheel in competition. It looks like a direct descendant of the D-Type, which is no surprise given Malcolm Sayer’s role in its development.
R Sedan 4D. $58,995. $5,370. For reference, the 2005 Jaguar S-Type originally had a starting sticker price of $45,995, with the range-topping S-Type R Sedan 4D starting at $58,995.
