HELP Purchasing A Jaguar S-Type R I Have Some General Questions ?
Im new to Jaguars and am so enthusiastic about the cars. I never owned a Jag beforebut I found a deal I just cannot pass up on. I found a nice S-Type R with 67K Miles loaded with DVD Navi and has some warranty Select 100K Plan on it for $18,500. Im planning on purchasing an S-Type R Series on Friday. I was reading the specs on this car and Im so amazed. Was thinking about purchasing a 2002 M3 for 22K but I like this Jaguar. I didnt know they had a special R Series line that has cars with 400 Horsepower thats Supercharged. This seems like the best deal I ever heard of.I talked to the owner and I cant wait to pick it up Im so excited.This will be my first fast car. However I had some general questions. How is the reliabilty of the S-Type R ?I never owned a Jag so give me some of your experiences. Also how does Select 100K Warranty Plan works ?
Here is the car Im so excited

Guys calm down. The car is mines Im the owner. To the OP disregard what these people are saying to you on the forum. When you come see my car on Friday, we can take it to a Jaguar dealership to make sure its a Select Edition Warranty car. They can also inspect the car as well. Again the car is in prestine condition and you will love the quickness of the S-Type R.

Just ask him if the self leveling headlights work properly or if they don't will the warranty cover them. I really hate to see someone that could potentially be a happy Jag. owner get ripped off by this guy on their first Jag. and then have bad feelings about the brand!

Well Im purchasing this car. I cannot find another 03 S-Type R around here with warranty plus this car is the cheapest I found period. So this is the best deal plus it has a whole lot of options like dvd navi. Im so excited. Im going to pick up the car tommorow. I talked to the owner and everything works fine. He replaced tires, rotors, brake pads, and headlights as well. He also has all the service records and hasnt had one problem with the car. I will take it by Jaguar so they can inspect it tommorow. Other than I cant wait to drive the R. This will be my first fast car. 400hp Supercharged for $18,500 is an excellent deal

FuturejagstypeR-
The select edition warranty is 100,000 miles or 6 years from delivery, whichever comes first. My select edition warranty expires in November this year. You can give the VIN number to any Jag dealer and they can lookup the exact date that it expires. The warranty does not cover a lot of stuff, but overall I am pretty satisfied with it. Even with the warranty, you probably should have a mechanic check it out before you buy it.
As far as reliability goes, I would say that they are not the most reliable car. A lot depends on the previous owner(s) and part of it depends on the car itself. It seems like someof the Jagsare always having problems.

So he's planning on buying his own car and has been answering his own posts with ANOTHER name? We knew about jagxboy but now futurejag too! I love the fake zip codes (chicago 90210 and NYC 100001). I thought it was a little funny how he was saying what a nice guy he was buying the car from and how honest he is.
