Advice on Trading a Jaguar S Type for BMW E38, E39, E60 or Jaguar XJ (X350)


Kal-El

Question

Hi, Gentlemen and ladies (if there any)

I currently own a S Type Jaguar (2000 model year), which is a great machine that has very unique and distinctive looks and loads of road presence, specially where I live most of the time (outside the Colombo).

However, I have been thinking of trading my Jag to one of the following models.

1. BMW E38 - 740iL preferably (1998-2001) - used to be a dream car for me and still is to some extent,very rare to find.

2. BMW E39 - 525i, 530i preferably (2001-2003) - not sure if this will be a downgrade from my S type Jag in terms of looks, sheer road presence and power.

3. BMW E60 5 Series - (2003-2006) - Nice car, not many on classifieds like the F10 5 Series

4. Jaguar XJ (X350) - (2003-2007) - The big brother to my S Type. Amazing looks, expensive and very rare.

5. Audi A6 (C5) - (2000 - 2003) - also, not sure if this will be a downgrade from my S type Jag in terms of looks, sheer road presence and power.

6. Merc W211 E Class ( 2002 - 2005) - Looks elegant, may not be a bang for the buck due to high demand for Mercs in SL

 

Since I am used to fuel consumption, parts availability and maintenance cost of premium euro's, I humbly request from you to guide on on,

1. What kind of improvements that each model will offer in comparison to my S Type Jag ?

2. Can you point out a mint condition E38 (long wheel base LCI), E39, E60, XJ - X350 that is intended for trade / sale ?

3. Other general advice ?

Thanking you for your precious time..

Kal-El

He doesn't want an E65. 

I knew

But this serves the purpose as what he expects from a E38. However higher px tag may chase him away.

Thank you for backing me up.

But there is still slight doubt about upgrading to an E38 from a S Type Jag. S type is a more modern (with retro looks that is a homage to original S Type of 60's) car (1999-2008) than E38 (1995-2001). So I am worried that, E38 could be a downgrade from the S type.

Now if someone with hands on experience of both cars... doors are open to share your opinions

Jag to Beemer never would be a downgrade in my views.

However it is totally upto you to decide. :)
