Got it! I've already met members of the local club. But there's no national cluc in which to join as well? Just proof of local membership for 6 months?

 

Of course there is---http://www.jcna.com/member-large-form but please do not use "National" as our Canadian and Mexican friends prefer North American! Just a bit of humor!

 

Thanks George! And no slight meant towards my friends to the south, Mexico or Canada.... here in Detroit, we go south to cross the bridge into Windsor. Go figure! :-)

 

Start dreaming... MSRP $130,483 Now on sale for $89,500 = 68.6% of MSRP or 31.4% off!

Holy sugar cane - sent them a message and WILL be buying if they honor that price point. Damn the torpedoes/wrath of the women LOL, full steam ahead!

 

Damn! Great deal! "18 must be on the way!

 

I learned that they will not offer the lease so this is purchase only. Calling shortly to learn details.

 

It looks like a good deal, but it's black. What do you guys think about the black color? I feel like it's a little hard to take care of and doesn't show the carbon fiber well.

 

The dealership is running a trade value for my black-on-black '12 X5 35d. If he comes in a logical range, it will be a done deal. I'll let you know if their numbers don't hit the mark so that you can take a shot if I don't buy it

 

Wooooooooow what a deal. Even though I have silver, black is still my favorite on this car and I think it makes the carbon fiber look subtle and clean.

Good luck with the purchase!

 

As expected they came back with a SUPER lowball trade valuation about 20% UNDER current wholesale. That is understandable as they can't see the vehicle as I am about an 8 hour drive away.

I may get a local trade number Monday or Tuesday. We'll see. In the mean time this is up for grabs as I am done... for now.

 

You're giving strong urges to pay cash for this car even though I'm looking for lease deals right now.

What's everyone's thought on keeping the F-Type SVR longer than 3 years?

 

That's going to be a personal preference but at this price I would definitely entertain it.

 

Why won't they lease? Is this common behavior?

 

I typically keep cars for 6 to 8 years and then sell them for whatever they are worth then. I have "flipped" cars after a year or 18 months when I was able to "break even" (e.g. drive them for free) for that period. That could be the case here if you can pay cash at this price point, it will still be worth $85K in 18 months IMHO

 

What we are working with here are the top of the line product at the end of it's new lifespan so nothing is "common" but to answer your question... Yes, it is "common" for dealers to pick a direction for marketing purposes. They may have some internal incentives to sell just "one more 2017 SVR" in order to hit a sales target or JLR incentive level. They may have already signed a ton of lease deals and been told that they will only off this discount for a CASH or financed deal. They may be willing to raise the selling price back up to $99K (like the firesand SVR that was also pointed out in one of these threads) but then they might offer the JLR subsidized leasing numbers which would then likely put them right back in the same profit target. In the end you can negotiate anything but the dealer also gets a vote and right now they aren't voting to permit the lease. Who knows, maybe they will change their mind

 

Go for it! It's a good deal and my wife would prefer I re-route the cash to a 2nd vaca condo we are also negotiating to buy so removing it from my temptations could be a good thing (for me)....

 

Another good deal to be had @ $92,360...perhaps you could lease this one.

That is another good price! There is already a beautiful '18 SVR at Jaguar Salt Lake City. I always shop around my reasonable area in case a steal comes up. Arrival of '18 means more urgency to move '17 by Jaguar, so dealers will take '18.

 

Is anyone fond of the Blue? Now only $99,995 from a MSRP of $143,645 = 30.4% off! Not new, but only ~6500 miles.
