hi everybody..

I'm thinking of buying a 2015 F TYPE S V6 3.0 AWD...

what are peoples thoughts on this car with 100000 miles but it has had 1 owner and all jaguar full service history ?

any help would be appreciated.

I wouldn’t. These cars are too finicky and one with 100000 is dangerous.

I suppose that question would depend in part on how much the seller is asking and how willing you are to deal with issues that any car has after 100K and this one may have more issues than others.

Jeez. These things fall apart after 100k miles?
I'm interested in looking for a '16-'19 manual trans F-type S coupe.

Anything can happen to any vehicle after 100,000 miles. It's true that premium cars can cost more to repair if something goes wrong. That comes with the cost of ownership. And some smaller towns don't have garages proficient in Euro car repair. So, unless you have some basic skills for the often-replaceable things like brakes, belts, o2 sensors, etc., it can get a little pricy. Items like engine or transmission/driveline failure are going to cost big money wherever you are located. A better question to ask, can any owners with vehicles over 100,000 miles address what specific problems they had with their car and state year, model and mileage. Maybe some owners might share repair costs for what they had done. There are some videos on YOUTUBE addressing the issue. Finally, and this is a big one, there is no accounting for damages to any vehicle that has been driven hard. I would want to know the car's history and who drove it.

Welp. As an update. I picked up a '17 F Type Premium with a manual trans and 18K miles! So I guess we'll see!

I do most of my own work on the cars as well. At least what ever I'm capable of.
