So spoke to a Jaguar Main Dealer today about a 2005 STR I was thinking about buying, this is there thoughts about the 2005 (I don,t agree with this opinion I may add) they said run away leave it alone 2005 not a good year. So why would they have this opinion.
This does not put me off purchasing as most Jag service engineers do not and will not own a Jaguar anyway!

Actually in 2005 Jaguar was 3rd from the top in quality, behind Porsche and Cadillac. By that time they had plenty of practice building the S-type. That was one factor why I wanted a 2005 or newer version.
When the XF came out they dropped significantly as most companies do when a new model is introduced.

Pros - It's quality stainless steel weave very similar to the stock grill, which means it doesn't rust and has a factory appearance.
Cons - It's just a piece of stainless mesh and zip ties. Not quite what some expect, at least at the price of $175.
With that said, I'll sell mine for $60 if anyone is interested.

The 2009 JD Powers "Most Dependable" catagory had Jaguar and Buick tied for 1st for most reliable. The study was on three year old vehicles which would make them all 2006 models. It was the first time Lexus got booted from the #1 spot. When I was researching my '06 STR I ran across this article J.D. Power and Associates .
