What Owners are Saying About the 2003 Jaguar S-Type

"Hands down the v8 4.2 03 s type is my all time fav"

"This is the 2nd one I've owned. The first was the v6(still a great car but we had a accident and totaled) Picked up a 03 s type v8 4.2L with 76000 miles for 3800 in EXCELENT condition. No problems just fast and still big enough to haul my 3 kids around"

"Love this car!"

"This car is, and always will be, a head turner. The comfort and style is above and beyond for this 18 year old car. Runs great. After 18 years I have only had 2 issues. Rebuilt transmission at 18 years old and heater stopped working. Needs a new relay switch or thermostat. AC works great. Loved this car then and love it now."

"Wonderful Car"

"What a wonderful vehicle. Like most others, I was initially worried about purchasing a Jag due to the "reliability" comments I had heard. Am I ever glad my wife talked me into this car! When you combine a wonderful ride, excellent styling and reliability that's off the charts and at this price. Wow, all I can say is what a great value this car has been. I'm about to trade it in on two new 2007 S-Types, one for me and one for the wife. And all this from a former German auto enthusiast."

2003 Jaguar S-type Depreciation

Annual Depreciation is an estimation of what your vehicle's value might be over time based on an average of similar vehicles. Estimations are calculated by comparing Kelley Blue Book Private Party Values of vehicles similar to yours over time, as well as forecasts from Manheim Auction data comparing current and projected auction values against current Kelley Blue Book Private Party and Trade-In Values. This is not a guarantee of actual depreciation. Local weather conditions, market factors and driver performance will also impact your vehicle's actual depreciation.
