Spoken like a true salesman...did you sell cars at one point in your life,lol?

 

LOL . . . never, just a professional buyer, highly-trained to disregard most of what they say.

 

If your dealer just shrugs go find another dealer who appreciates your business. Of course they want to sell off the floor and any aggressive dealer will give you a better deal on floor stock starting with the oldest. But they will take your order rather than get nothing! My dealer( not where I purchased) will pull up the computer while I'm sitting there to try and answer my question. Same with my Maserati dealer.

 

Stability in exchange rates may be a factor in delayed pricing, and they should favor the US, we'll see!

 

I think official pricing is to be released on Monday. They just had national dealer meetings last week which gave upper management an idea of pricing. It will be interesting to see what the changes are in pricing as well as discounts.

 

+1 to that. For me, I want a MT but if JLR bumped pricing too high, I would think twice and maybe step into a '15 that hasn't been moved off lot yet. Especially because I'm planning on leasing rather than financing.

 

This would make sense since the first boat of cars is arriving in Baltimore today.

 

I've read both online, that prices didn't go up too much aswell as the Jaguar F type are seeing huge price increase (which in my opinion is a mistake), especially for a still struggling auto maker. But I'm sure we will know soon. Then it's to the problem of which dealers to contact.

 

I think struggling is a bit of an overstatement, but JLR is in an important transitional period. Tata has made heavy capital investments in JLR (F-Type, XE, and new Ingenium engine development) in the last few years to reinvigorate the brand, which always dings the profit bottom line, but the sales trends are looking positive. The XE has received highly positive reviews and will be added to the mix this year, except in the U.S., which will see it in early '16.

I think you had to much of the Kool Aid. Call your local dealer & ask him how many brand new 2014 or 2015 Jaguars they have on there lot. I think you will be surprised how many they have. Then ask how many of them can be leased. Land Rovers sales are great but Jaguar sales are very soft.

 

Uh, just relaying the highlights of the Forbes analysis, which acknowledges the current inventory situation, but takes into account their worldwide market. The U.S. is just one segment.

Try reading before taking shots, and then aim at the appropriate target if you feel so inclined.

While you're at it do a cars.com search for new Porsche 911 inventory, and you'll find new 2013s on dealer lots.

 

I hope you are right. I don't want to see Jaguar go away, but it's all about world wide production numbers and pricing cars less competitively at this point I think would be a mistake. The first couple of years you satisfy the group of buyers who want the car regardless of the price, but after this you have to reach down to the buyers who are going to look at other brands in similar models.

...well...there's always Tuesday

 

...and the next day.

 

My sales rep told me several weeks ago that they do not expect 2016 pricing to be announced until the second quarter. Let's hope she is wrong.

 

Just got EU/EUR pricing. There is basically no difference between MY15 and MY16.

 

I wonder if this has anything to do with Jaguar not releasing any pricing yet? The dollar is at an 11 year high.

Would be nice if they cut prices to reflect that strength. However, I doubt they will do that since our Jag prices are so much lower than anywhere else in the world.

 

I agree, I don't think will change what they are going to price them at. I assume they are already set, just not released. Most other countries have VAT taxes into their prices and other import taxes. If that were to ever happen in the USA, it will destroy their sales here. But don't be surprised if we hear politicians suggesting them at some point down the road, with their insatiable need for more tax money.

 

I really wish we could leave the political commentary out of this forum. There are plenty of other places to go rant, rave, and argue with others about politics, but it's tiresome and out of place here.
