Select 2017 Jaguar F-Type models are currently subject to discounts as large as $30,000.
According to out friends from CarsDirect.com, if you have been wanting to buy a 2017 Jaguar F-Type, now is the time. In order to help clear out the 2017 models, Jaguar has announced a dealership cash incentive program that effectively leads to discounts of up to $30,000. Though, it is the prerogative of each individual Jaguar dealership whether they are going to pass the entirety of those cash incentives to the buyer. But dealerships with the greatest desire to rid themselves of 2017 F-Type models have $10,000-$30,000 worth of wiggle room.
2017 Jaguar F-Type cash incentives
The latest dealership cash incentive program for the 2017 Jaguar F-Type applies to both coupes and convertibles. However, the amount varies by trim line and there are some stipulations to get these massive price cuts. These cash incentives cannot be used with promotional financing through the dealership. So, to save $10,000-$30,000 on a 2017 F-Type, you will need to pay cash or have outside financing lined up.
Provided that you can write a check for the full amount, F-Type SVR buyers stand to save the most, with $30,000 in available cash incentives. The 550hp R package is the next most-discounted, with up to $20,000 in incentives. Meanwhile, the 340hp V6 models carry $10,000 in possible cash incentives.
The 575hp 2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR coupe starts around $126,000 and the convertible starts around $129,000. That means these current discounts will allow year-end buyers to score the supercharged sports car for under $100k. Those folks buying loaded cars will be able to get the number down to the lower-end of the six-figure range. So, while still pricy – these are the lowest advertised prices we have seen for the supercharged Jaguar, to date.
"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.
"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.
"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.
"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.
"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.
