Car financing: the 2004 Jaguar S-type
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2004 Jaguar S-type; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. The 2004 Jaguar S-type for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Before you sign for the S-type
NHTSA has 25 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, engine and engine cooling and service brakes. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The figures, translated
Power comes from the 3.0L 6-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual. 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 12.4 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 37 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $65.10 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Inside and out
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. For luggage, 340 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Good uses for the S-type
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Rent it for a week first
Try the S-type on your commute, then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Narrowing it down
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Make a request
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
