Default Considering buying certified F Type

So I am still in the market for a car and came across this one as a candidate.
https://m.autotrader.com/cars-for-sa...5D%5D%5B%5D%5D
My questions are:
What is a reasonable offer I should make on this car?
Any known reliability issues?
Anything I should be aware of buying certified with Jag? I have done with MB in the past.
I live in nor cal so I may have to take a road trip down.............

That is a link to a Tesla. Not a "Certified F-Type". Did you miss-quote?

Fixed it. Back story:
On April 2 2016 I reserved a Tesla M3. It was to be a commute car at 35K$ with 7K rebate.
Now I rarely commute and the car is at least going to be 49K$ and no delivery in sight for me and likely reduced rebate so I am rethinking this.

That dealership is known for cut prices so that may be good but here is my experience with them. I was considering a Black-on-Black SVR coupe and they had one of the best prices. They said it had a few miles and had been a "demo" car. Turned out that the car had 5,321 miles on it so... it didn't qualify as a "demo" by the standards. It was actually a USED car when the miles exceed 5K and should be priced as such which would have meant another $5K to $10K off if they were being honest. When I gently pointed this out to the Manager he basically acknowledged that "maybe I was right but the price is what the price is. Do you want it or not?" One of the easiest decisions of my life to be honest. So, you can work with them and if called out they will be straight up but they might not "volunteer" certain information unless you know to ask. I am certain they sold that used SVR coupe to someone for the price they were asking and that person may be fine with it.

I will not patronize a dealer as described above. My search continues.

Kierants, I have owned 3 (thus far) CPO Jaguars -- each a success, and worth it. Mostly the peace of mind, knowing that ANY surprises will be dealt with in Proper Fashion. (Use Cole European near you, as I do) Flying to So Cal definitely EZ, and consider the return drive!
And FWIW, the Fixed Head is definitely more attractive, yet the Drop Head is way better for the environs in which you'll toodle.
