Hello Everyone, I hope you don't mind me joining early, I do not actually have a Jaguar yet but I am in need of some advice before I purchase one. I have found a T-Reg Jaguar 1999 S Type 3 Litre V6 Auto for sale and it sounds a little too good to be true so I would like some advice on whether I would be making a good decision or more a decision that would leave me out of pocket and soured by the experience. I have found this Jaguar for sale from a local repair & MOT garage near where i work (which we get all our company vehicles repaired at & my boss's Porsche). The S Type has not been moved or driven for about a year, overall there is no rust on the car, some minor scratches, a little bumper discolouration otherwise in pretty good condition for a '99 car. It will need at least one new tyre. The leather interior is used but not excessively, once given a clean and some treatment will look very good. I do not currently know the mileage but he has said it isn't more than 130,000 miles. This car had belonged to his sister & I have seen the V5 document to prove this. Now basically as this has sat there for a year this guy wants shot of the car and is only asking £300 for it, because he knows me through work etc. and being as he is a mechanic in an independent garage that is also MOT certified he can do the ongoing repair work and get it roadworthy etc (with a deal being made for parts to make it road worthy) . Also I trust this guys honesty as I have dealt with him over the last couple of years. I know its not been on the road for a while and this is all subject to him getting it up and road worthy to pass an MOT. I have always loved Jaguars and would dearly love to own one and this seems a perfect oppertunity. So basically, I would like to know if there is any real reason I shouldn't go for this car? Apologies for the length of the email. Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions offered. Pete
