Thinking of buying the 2002 Jaguar S-type?

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2002 Jaguar S-type for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 2002 Jaguar S-type, here are the facts that matter.

Before you sign for the S-type

NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 24 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, vehicle speed control and electrical system; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Specs, explained

The powertrain here is the 3.0L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

By the EPA's combined rating of 13.1 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 39 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $68.79 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

What to expect from the S-type

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. For luggage, 340 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who the S-type suits

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

A longer test drive

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the S-type for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

Money matters

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.93 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Which one to look for

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
