Hey there, i'm a Dutch guy looking to buy a 1999 jaguar s type. I'm currently talking to a dealer that is selling one with an automatic gearbox for really cheap. After i've been on the test drive the only thing that felt a bit off was that the transmission sometimes felt as if it was slipping, is that a huge red flag or is it wise to continue the buying process?

Thanks in advance,

Jim

HI

1999 cars have a ford gearbox and are pretty reliable, might just want a atf gearbox Oil change

also check the rear subframe and sills the are known to rot, sills are hidden with a plastic cover

cheers
