***SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY - I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SAY THIS BUT MORE & MORE PEOPLE ARE BIDDING ON ITEMS THEY HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF PAYING FOR AND TURNING THIS ENVIRONMENT INTO A NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE! MY FEEDBACK IS 100% FOR NEARLY 400 TRANSACTIONS - MY MOTTO - I DO NOT BID IF I CANNOT PAY*** Let's try this again - For sale is my 2005 Jaguar S-Type with 157,000 miles. It was purchased from the Jaguar dealership at 38,000 miles. Exterior - Noticeable scratches and an area by the fuel door where the paint has come off completely. It has an invisible bra on the front and all 4 factory rims. Pictures show car with 20" chrome rims (not included- if interested will sell at low cost) factory rims are stored inside garage and will be put on vehicle before pickup. Tires on factory rims are okay. Interior - Kept clean aside from the interior roof. On several occasions, I left the sunroof raised which caused damaged to the lining; therefore I took it off completely. I spoke with a guy that stated he could repair for $400 but after the compressor went out again, my desire to move forward with this was non-existent. Mechanical - No air but heat works. I live in SC which is very humid so during the summer, my ac is normally operating at full capacity. The compressor first went out in July 2012 so I had the local Jaguar dealership install a new one with a price tag of $1800. The very next summer (2013), the compressor went out again which I thought was strange so I believe the dealership either 1) didn't install it properly or 2) installed a used/refurbished compressor. I called them immediately and they stated the warranty was only for a year and I was outside the warranty by a month. I refused to install another compressor and parked. The Restricted Performance" light is also laminated when you first start driving the car. After a few minutes, it goes off. Since I question the credibility of the local jaguar dealership, I took it to Firestone to run a diagnostic check. Based on the code revealed, I let them fix it; however, t the light is still laminated and I haven't taken it back. This light is associated with the check engine light. And lastly since the car has been parked, it sputters when it is first started. My brother suggests spark plugs but I'm not sure. I do know that this wasn't an issue before I parked it. Collisions - None but I was involved in an incident. There had been an accident and we were traveling by going less than 30 mph. The car behind me tapped me in the back. The only damage was all the paint was gone on my bumper. There was no dents or dings but I filed a report to ensure my car would be painted promptly. For me, this has been a good car but definitely getting older. I commuted to work an hour each way for 5 years and this car never put me down. Partly because I never abused it and always took caring for it seriously. And don't let the name fool you. This car is not expensive to maintain. For example, the compressor I replaced was a Ford product and the wiper blades motor I replaced also fit a Lincoln. I have revealed everything I've experienced with this car which is reflected in the price. Any questions, please ask.
