Hi All , from Bicester

HI ALL :) 

 

 

Not currently a Jaguar owner, but I am looking at purchasing a Jaguar S type. 

I think the S Type is a lot of car for its money and i recon i can get one and make it look rather nice.

 

All I need now from you the Experts :)   is some advice on what is the best model to go for and main common faults to look out for when buying one. 

 

I am 25 years of age 

and I currently hold 5 years no claims bonus. So any realistic engine size for my preference ideally lol.

 

Hope everyone is cool and hope to see you at a meeting some time soon.

 

Thanks All

Welcome to the club Sam

 

S-type is a nice car, are you looking for petrol or diesel?

[Jagwanabee]

Probably diesel

I only have £3000 to spend though

There are plenty around, but with big mileages.  I got an s type in June with 48k on the clock but it cost £9.500.  But the diesel is very quiet and with great acceleration, and the mpg is brilliant. If you keep the revs under 2000 you should get over 45mpg on a long run.
