Looks really nice! I love the handling of the v6 S Coupe, pretty much spot on!

I’m actually in VA, but no cars in my area that appeal to me. I added the listing below.

Hood vents don't look right, my 16 V6 S car has different style of hood vents. Is it PO mod or signs of repair?

Looks like a good car at a fair price. I would go for it.

Prices have taken a bit of a fall recently, I think that's priced as a similar mileage R. I agree, it's got the wrong hood for a 2016 S.

No it does't the AWD has those vents, my 16 S awd has the exact same hood.

Good to know, thanks.

Jag has a lot of certified F-Types on their website. I think this one is priced too high. Since you are considering a V6 with little warranty remaining, almost any CPO car would get you the same warranty or better. Personally at this price I would look at cheaper low mile CPO V8 S or V8 R with the same or longer warranty.

The vents look right for an AWD, surely? Further apart and further down the hood.

Car looks nice, I really appreciate the vision pak on my 2015, Does it come standard on the 2016 S?

Thanks for the info. I checked out the CPOs and only a few cheaper than the one I’m considering. Did I mention that I don’t want black or white? Seems like a ton of black and white to chose from.

It looks like a very nice car. A few things to consider are that a base model can be tuned to the same HP as an S. A 2014-15 V8 is lighter than a 2016 V6. And with any F-Type, be ready for the warranty expiration to be a humbling resale value kick in the bazooka. It might be better to buy out of warranty rather than just a few months from expiration.

Just if looking at the base against the S, be aware that the standard suspension in base is a lot harder than the standard suspension setting in the S (the latter can be cranked up in dynamic mode). When initially testing the cars I thought the base suspension was too hard though I am now happy enough to drive mine in dynamic (i.e. the hard setting) on 21's so I might have toughened up a bit. Also no LSD on the base. Re the vision pack, I think I see the rear camera there below the license plate.

Your vision is not too shabby for an old fart Bruce, yes there is a camera lens showing below the rear number plate.
That AWD S also looks to be very nicely specced it has almost every option.

One owner car? Service history? In service date? (How much warranty left?). I think the ad's listing of the market price is high. Why does this dealer have the car? bought at auction? trade in on a Prius? Get the info and the backstory. If everthing checks out can you get it for $42k? Great color combo, nice wheels (although black ones in this style would look great). I'd be happy to drive this car.

Sold as used when new. Moved from dealer to dealer for awhile. If they are all same compmany maybe ok, but how did it end up at a Toyata dealer after a Jag and McClaren store. Might be nothing but shows as already a cpo when originally sold, must have been leftover when mext year came out.
