Hey guys,
Been doing my research and came across several videos and articles that listed the Jaguar XJ as one of the worst selling vehicles in 2018. Considering the hefty inflated price tag on these models, do you guys think we can expect any hackr worthy discounts in the coming months? I found a “Deal” on an 18 XJL portfolio MSRP 91288 with a listed “Dealer” price of 74288. What do you guys think the final sale price should be on that vehicle? Do you think it could be hacked for under 700 bucks for a 7.5k/36 term?
I’m always curious about the value proposition in luxury cars because so much of the “value” is emotional.
Should I take this to mean that dealers aren’t discounting enough to move them off the lot? Or is the implication that interest is just that low?
My first car was a 10 year old Jag Sovreign, so I have a soft spot in my heart for Jags. I remember being a stupid stupid 17 year old and going 100+ MPH on the highway with the cabin shaking like crazy.
oh wow, they only sold 1,579 in ALL of 2018. That’s pretty astonishing. I guess the market for this has completely fallen to Luxe SUV’s.
Given the RV these will always lease terribly but I guess if you’re feeling particularly brave and have a lot of money you need to burn for some reason, you could probably get a fairly healthy discount for a purchase.
I’m still a leasing neophyte, so please pardon my ignorance here. I thought know that Jags lose a lot of $$ off the lot and have terrible residuals, but if the sales price of the car is incredibly discounted in the lease, wouldn’t that have some effect on the residual value? or is residual always calculated off of original MSRP? Never mind…Google is your friend, right? So residuals are calculated off of MSRP.
I guess the way to go, if buying an 18, would be to buy it and take advantage of the 60 month 0% interest they are offering at the moment. I still wonder what a great discount would look like.
Given how many they’re (not) selling, I’m pretty sure you could just name a price you’d be happy to pay for it and see what happens. Who knows maybe you’ll get lucky and have 5 years of trouble free Jag ownership. Or something.
I’m approaching 1 year with my Jaguar XF and it’s been in the shop for 114 of those days, so close to 1/3 of the year. Needless to say, I’m waiting on a buyback response from Jaguar.
I didn’t research Jaguar reliability enough before signing the deal last year. To be fair, in those 114 days I was driving a F-Pace or Velar loaner, so it wasn’t like I was out of a vehicle. The sunroof was replaced, the main “module” in the vehicle was replaced, the infotainment is sketchy at best, they broke some trim pieces when dropping the headliner to replace the sunroof. I got a lot of excuses about how long parts take to get from overseas… which may or may not be true. I’m just done with it, don’t want to turn it in at lease end and get docked for random things being wrong with it.
What seemed to be a great deal upfront… turned out to be a PITA in the long run. Hopefully I can rid myself of this disaster and move on.
Now I’m back in the market, will probably go back to the SUV route… time to chase the next deal.
I’m so sorry to hear this. I have a long standing love affair with Jags since they were my first car. That being said, I owned an X-type which, by the end of my time with it would just randomly shut off whilst driving full speed down the highway.
