I didn't see a separate "Ask the Dealer" section on the forum or I would have posted there, but is the Jaguar "Resume Play" sales event (with 0% financing promotional offers) expected to end this month as the fine print indicates? Does Jaguar historically have similar 0% offers every year like this (at the end of every model year), or was this a one-time (pandemic response?) effort to drive sales? Or do they always have 0% offers year-round while interest rates have been low (so there is little risk of the offer going away anytime soon)?

I am considering the purchase of a 2020 F-Pace soon (I am aware the face-lifted 2021 models are around the corner), so I'm trying to gauge if I really need to pull the trigger soon, or if realistically the 0% offers will be extended (perhaps marketed under a new name other than "Resume Play Sales Event"), giving me more time to work a deal.

Here is the fine print (and yes I called the 800-number, they couldn't tell me what next month's programs would look like):

 

I responded on the F-Type side, but also, I highly doubt they will extend the offer for '21 models. Rona has changed a lot of things, so you never know, but again, I wouldn't expect 0% on '21s.

 

Good point, so even though you got 0% on your SVR back in April, you think that was pandemic-driven and not typical? And you're guessing no 2021 models will qualify for 0% until late summer when 2022s are around the corner?

 

I'm not convinced the 0% on the SVR was pandemic driven. It had been on-going for at least a month at that point. I'd bet no '21 models for 0% until the '22s are available, if they even go that low next year. Keep in mind, all these companies will be trying to recover some lost profit from this year. Maybe they'll do something like 1.9% next year. Hell I don't know. Pretty sure there aren't going to be any SVRs for '21 though....

 

Oh really? What makes you say there won't be a 2021 F-Pace SVR? I thought JLR took over the AJV8 engine production over from Ford (who pumped out additional engines before closing the factory) and is expected to continue production for the next 3-5 years until the new BMW-sourced engines are ready? See news article below:

I've seen that article and I'm happy that they will continue to use the 5.0L, but with the facelift of the F Pace for '21, Jaguar's been known not to do an SVR during first year runs or facelift years.
But there are rumors of the SVR debuting before the end of the year, so maybe...

 

Interesting, that's good to know about SVR typically unavailable during first year and facelift model years. So when you say F-Pace SVR debuting "before end of the year" do you mean calendar year 2020? And by debuting, you just mean unveiled, right? (So nothing likely hitting dealers until spring 2021 at earliest?)

 

There doesn't seem to be any definitive information out there on it other than some spy photos and guesses. Jaguar USA only shows 3 variants available on their website for 2021. Base, S, and R-Dynamic-S.
