The only Jag dealer in Las Vegas only has 11 vehicles in stock! I wonder if UK shutdown will make this even worse. I got an email from Top Gear magazine saying it is difficult to mail the mag right now and free use of their digital.

 

I had a similar thing with my classic Porsche magazine a few months ago.
The UK is pretty much on lock down. Essential workers only.

 

I have been wondering about that. My local dealer had about 50 Jaguar vehicles in stock last summer and now has less than 20.

2 are F-Types: a red 20 convertible and a black 21 convertible R

 

Not so much "pretty much" as in "actually is", as of this morning.

 

Does anyone have data on total Jaguars manufactured in 2019 vs. 2020?

 

Found this article, looks like all manufacturers, except Tesla are down in 2020 by about 20-30%.

 

I have found the same situation. I arranged for the funding of my purchase of a new 2021 F Type yesterday and the availability all over Southern California is pitiful. I will be sending my "Build My Vehicle" data sheet out to several dealers for quotes within the next couple of days and will just have to wait for it like a kid before Christmas.

 

You can search nationally vs just SoCal. Can easily do a deal and have it shipped across country. I bought mine (CPO, not new) west coast and shipped to east coast.

 

My bride sell MBs. Trust me, same issue applies to Benz products as well...not just confined to those from England...has been a big challenge for most of the last year. Tesla's probably partly an anomaly because they're still on the build curve for their production versus operating at sustained levels. Demand seems to be more or less consistent; however, the lack of inventory means dealers can hold on to inventory because in many cases the right buyer will walk in.

 

COVID took down all aspects of the auto industry and it definitely affected build times. The UK has had it bad and factories were shut down and when they were open, the parts needed to build cars werent available. Jaguar makes significantly less vehicle the many other manufacturers, so there wasnt alot of inventory in waiting. It also didnt help that there was a rush of new vehicles being bought. Demand exceeded supply where supply was closed down. Be patient and these numbers will return to normal.

 

Can confirm. Took my Benz to its annual service and the dealer had barely any cars on the lot. Seems to be the case for the other Benz dealers in the area as well - no stock

 

Looked up Fletcher Jones Mercedes in Newport Beach the countries largest volume. Part of the largest Merc group in country. They have 345 new cars, they usually have 1400! Their 2 Vegas dealers have 85-90 each.
