What are you're impressions of this car - especially if you have an 07 V6?
Thanks!
2) it is going to be discontinued b/c of slow sales, which means you should be able to find a terrific deal.
3)the new model which replaces it comes out early next year if everything goes according to planned.
I guess my biggest complaint is that Jaguar has always been known for manufacturing cars that are well appointed on the interior, clean layout, a quality feeling, and there are way too many parts used from Ford vehicles on this car. It might as well be a ford, with a slightly prettier face. If I were you I might consider a used XJR, you will find that the quality is totally superior. If you don't want that it will be easy to find an XJ model for well under 50 K if you negotiate it appropriately..
Any idea on the money factors they're using or if I'm missing something? How much lower can I get them to go down?
1) Contact Bauer Jag ask them how many S types thhey have in stock and tell them you want to lease. I used them to get the price of my local jag dealer to come down on an xj model 5000 dollars.
2) are you sure you want this car
a) fit and finish suck (to put it mildly)
b) this is a glamorized ford with Ford reliability
c) this model can't be moved fast enough, it will be discontinued by early 08.
d) slow sales have contributed to its demise.
3) If you really want a jag, which will be trouble free may I suggest a used XJ model no older than the 04 model year.
reliability is improved, it is jag quality, and these cars can be found on the cheap, with low mileage and a decent waranty.
Consider yourself warned about the potential problem of the S type.
I don't mind the fact the car doesn't have a lot of company on the road...these days I can't tell a BMW from a Honda
As far as Jaguar's current lease program for this model goes, if you were to lease a 2007 S-Type 3.0 through Jaguar Credit right now for 24 months with 10,500 miles per year its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00024 and 50%, respectively. As I mentioned earlier, Jaguar is providing $4,500 lease cash on this model.
It's difficult for me to say how much less you will be able to get this car for without knowing its selling price. Negotiate as low a selling price as you can on the car that you want and then have the dealer calculate your monthly payment using the aforementioned lease program. I personally would shoot for a capitalized cost of $3,500 to $4,000 below invoice (using the lease cash) and see what happens.

By mistake my mechanic did the tune up and reversed the vaccum and air lines and blew a rod in the block. I bought a used Le Sabre block for $400 and swapped the heads. All the engine blocks are Ford, but the head are Jaguar. A complete "Jaguar" engine would have been over $3000.
The S type body style is a classic. I still get so many compliments what a beautiful car my S Type is after being on the road for 5 years.
