Assuming it really is a new car (or at least very low miles) that is one helluva bargain and the last thing you should worry about is the replacement cost of CCM brakes.

Seems like a great deal to me as well. Ceramic brakes are expensive to replace, but that wouldn't scare me away from the car.

The rotors themselves are the expensive part; they will last multiple brake jobs if serviced properly. You can expect 80-100k from them.

His location is Bellmore which is most likely NY, and the link posted by sparky fuse is odds on to be the same car which is a NY car, so putting two and two together I would bet a year's pay it is USD!
Edit - something fishy about the linked ad though - the first pic is a white vert with CCM brakes then all subsequent pics are of a red S coupe with steel brakes.

I have had my MY17 with ceramics since July. I do notice when wet they take just a second to bite. In the cold the same. NO BRAKE DUST!!! Its awesome. Look fantastic. If you do not track the car I would expect them to last the life of the car under normal driving. I engine brake and at times use them to turn the tail lights on more than braking. And you check the wear by weight. For that price I would take 10K and put it aside. CCB's are hard to find. That is a serious deal. I just paid 78K for my MY17 with 9K miles and CPO so I got the original warrantee again. And I had to have Red!! My money would be in their hand already!

Thought I bought the very last "new" 2017 R vert in America this past May 2018, with 30 miles on odo.
Got $26K off the $113K sticker.
Thought that was a good deal.
Later found out that, although it was presented to me as a brand new car, it was already placed in service since Jan of 2017, so 1.5 yrs already into the 5 yr warranty & service. A real pain to have the dealership to finally give me a no-deductible 2 extra years of extended warranty. So ask them about if car is already been in service, although it's advertised as new.
Otherwise, it's a great deal!!!

Yes, the CPO is better than new, because as a Jaguar Certified Pre-Owned, they inspect approx 100+ items, and EXTEND the original warranty -- both in miles and years. And if it was inspected by your selling dealership, they take a sense of ownership of their future warranty and maintenance work. One caution, which may be a different policy now; when I purchased my '07 XJR, with just 35k miles, it was still in original warranty. However, since I bought it from a dealer, that warranty would not extend to me. Had I bought it direct from the owner as seller, it would have.
