Jaguar S-type comes up trumps I read with interest the letter from MH about older, luxury cars offering value for money. Two years ago I purchased a 53-plate Jaguar S-type 4.2 V8 from CarGiant for £6,995. I have enjoyed superb motoring ever since. It is by far, the most comfortable, rewarding, quiet and smooth car I have owned. As an ex-police traffic officer my experience is substantial, but I find myself smiling as I drive and enjoying every mile I travel. Even better, I achieve about 33mpg on long runs and the last service (90,000 miles) cost £340, but that included replacement of a leaking thermostat housing. Insurance is just under £400 and includes breakdown cover. Many thanks. You've done well. That should give readers more confidence about buying from CarGiant, too - it's a good operation.
