Red face Dealer is not willing to sell the car as it has too many mechanical issues!

I paid for it yesterday and today they called me up saying the car has too many problems and they cannot put their name on it. Very honest! im surprised! They cashed my cheque and i will get the money back in a couple of days.

Bright side - Close brush with a money pit.

Not so bright side - Have to start looking for a car again lol

Im still happy as im financially secure.

I hope i will own a Jag one day! Until then have fun and enjoy your Jags (All you Jag lovers).

I have to accept that its the strangest 24hrs within the last 6 months!

Ricky..try www.cars.com for used S-Types and go out to 'all miles'. Plat around, I just saw 20+ 2006 and up 4.2 and R's and some are even in your price bracket.
We also have a menber..George Androlakis (sp) who could be of great help, he's a dealer and an upstanding one.

Glad they didn't try to push it onto you... Be glad a potential money pit was avoided!

Good luck on your search! If you are dead-set on an S-type, expand your search. Use autotrader or cars.com or even eBay. Try and find an 05 or newer...

If you want to play it safe, you need to consider something Honda, Toyota, etc... Are you willing to drive stick shift? 10 year old used cars with automatics can be dicey...
