Being British, Jags are actually configured for North America. That said, the same models are available in the US and Canada (Mexico as well). The ultra rare manual trans S was a 6cyl only sport package car (notice the body color bumper trim?) There are more pre 2003 refresh models out there. That makes the one listed here even more rare. Post refresh, the manual was only around for 2003 and 2004. For the 05 re-skin, the manual was dropped from North America due to poor sales.

I have a 2003 3.0 sport with a manual transmission. I believe 2003 was the last year Jaguar offered a manual for the S type and I don't think they ever offered a manual with the V8. I have seen non sport models with a manual. The manual is manufactured by Getrag, and Getrag does not support parts nor does the after market. If you have an internal problem, the fix according to Jaguar is "new transmission". I don't know if the automatics also have a lack of parts support. I have enjoyed the manual and have not had any trouble other than a linkage bushing that was replaced for under $100.

S Type with Manual Transmission's for sale
In doing my research I have found an S-type w/manual tranny in California with only 42k miles for $12900...guy will go down to $12k. It is a bluish/silver and is in mint condition.
There is also a silver S-Type w/manual tranny in Texas with 52k miles for $10900...guy will down to $10500 out the door.
I had a deal on a Black S-Type w/manual tranny in Florida with 42k miles for $10k...he was originally asking $12900.
I am really looking for a black S-Type with manual tranny for $10k or under. I know about everything that is listed the traditional way. If anyone here is thinking of selling or knows someone please contact me at djrmueller@gmail.com. I am a cash buyer and know exactly what I want. This is one gorgeous car and with the manual tranny is the perfect match.

wtf????? Is that the only language you know.... Yes it is 5k because it has high mileage and a stick.... While rare, stick shift cars are always worth less. Why bother with a comment like that anyway, it's not like you're going to go to Florida to pick it up...

Without throwing another tantrum, can you give me a quick rundown on exactly what specifics you're looking for in a car and what you expect to pay? I'll be glad to keep an eye out.

im looking for 2001-2003 and im willing to spend no more than 7.5-8k which is very fair, but i only want 3.0 so i can get better gas mileage, i like black, grey, dark green colors only.
