John Bruh Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 SPRING IS HERE AND SUMMER WILL BE HERE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT. 114K MILES, RUNS SHIFTS DRIVES GREAT. they have had it for a while. you could probably could get it pretty cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Terrible, it is a British Ford worst combination of car ever! Call Jaguar and ask them how much the front rotors are then ask yourself if you can drop $1500 at anytime for services. Electrical issues out the ass etc... would not buy with any sort of mileage over 60K. Nothing good to say about them here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abuseU1300 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Yeah , I was gonna try and lowball them, but if there a big pain in the a$$ i'm good . dropping $1500 isn't a problem , but i dont like the car that much . lol ! thanks for the info guys ! I'll keep searching for that under $10K C5 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Ask Doc what he thinks about the car.. IIRC he said he owned one previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossle Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Probably a good choice to walk, Jaguar is very proud of their parts. People that own them tend to love them or never own one again. Don't get me wrong they are really nice, I love driving them to work on them. I personally would never consider one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolrayz Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 The engine has the nicoseal (sp) cylinders instead of steel liners. They switched to the liners 2001. Also had a plastic timing chain tensioner that gave them a fit. They also chnged that around 2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
