Good morning all. Recently purchased a 2006 S-Type R from a dealer in Tampa, FL called Streetside Classics. They have a huge warehouse filled with American muscle cars + one Jaguar sedan. Found them from a classified ad on E-Bay. I picked up the car in April and drove it home to Virginia without any problems. Later had it looked over by Top Line Jaguar in Springfield, VA and had a laundry list of needed repairs, mostly suspension-related. About $8k later I have a fine daily driver which just added a set of Conti Xtreme Contact tires.
I look forward to learning from the members here. My only gripe is about the atrocious headlights on this car. I cleaned the lenses successfully with headlight lens cleaner from Griot’s Garage (highly recommended). But I have to drive everywhere with the brights on in order to navigate unlit roads. Any upgrade suggestions would be welcomed. 2006 Jag STR on the Shenandoah Parkway last fall.
