Hey all,

I'm looking into purchasing a new 17 ftype r and have currently negotiated 7% and 2k from chase finance. Msrp is a bit over 108k. As someone who has looked at these forums for a while I keep thinking I can do better based on some of the posts I've seen here. My question is am I getting a good deal or should I continue negotiating? In addition, is it worth waiting for the 18 model?

Thank you!

 

Are you buying from the lot, or a custom order?

 

They will be getting it from another dealer

 

If it's a 17 on anyone's lot (rather than an order) you should be able to get 10%+ off. The '18s are rolling in at the end of next month.

 

Thanks. That's what I was thinking as well. These jag dealears are being pretty greedy with their pricing!

 

I got 20+% off a 2016 F Type R in September of 2016, when the dealers got flooded with 2017 models. Do the same this year.

 

Good call.

It's also *usually* better to work with the dealer that has the car on the lot.

 

Matched the car with the dealer. The car is located 300 miles away. Don't think its going to be easy. I think 10% + Chase 2k offer is fair along with flat bedding costs on them.

 

I would be aiming for more than 10% off. You would be leaving a lot of money on the table. Try contacting the selling dealer directly rather than using your local one?

 

If you are a member of the Jaguar Clubs of North America (JCNA) you have an additional discount after you have worked your deal. If not you are leaving $2500 on the table on 16/17 F-Types --all models except SVR.

 

I am not a member but I'd certainly join for the discount. Is it a long process?

 

You can do better....I would target 20% off MSRP or 20K off MSRP. Call around. Keep in mind anything you can get off the MSRP now lowers your depreciation hit when you drive off the lot and minimizes your PPR (post purchase remorse!!!!)

20% would be amazing. I guess I'll be calling a few more dealers tomorrow. The way the NJ dealers were negotiating 7% was a pain to get...

 

Trucking costs are quite reasonable these days. I wouldn't be too shy about calling out of state dealers.

 

If you go to a local club (recommended) it could take a week or two-depending on the club and its membership chair or you could sign up now as a MAL (member at large) which should take a few days to get your number and a week or two to get your card but the number is what you need.

 

It's a 6 month wait with membership for discount last I knew. I would wait to get 20% on a 17 when 18s hit. Also look for a new car with the warranty started (dealers) can buy car from JLR and get a large discount. You can do a lot with extra cash. If you wait six months you can accomplish both club discount and buy a 17. There some unsold 16s out there too. I shopped up to 1500 miles out. Shipping was $600-800.

Here is a '16 IRR, appears new. One of two Rs at this dealer. Would need to verify, but would think some closer to you. Depends on what your looking for. An xtra 10% can really square your R up, with custom wheels, tune, pulley.

That is exactly correct and it is a lot of discount for a relatively short wait. Of course the discount program could end but I am assured by JLR it will not--the other issue is all 16 or 17s could be sold!

 

Has anyone had any experience with dealers bringing in cars from other dealers? I am within driving distance of 3-5 dealers but considered trying to get a nearby dealer to locate a specifically optioned car at another dealer. Will they do that? Thought it might make required service more friendly??

 

I bought mine over the Internet from a dealer in Florida. Shipping was $1200 to San Antonio. I got a 2017 base for $58k - $5k under sticker - and my local dealer was talking low 70's. For $15k, I'll go out of town - and they had the exact car I wanted.

A dealer can bring in a car from elsewhere, but they have to pay shipping... The best deal is usually for a car they have on their lot.
