With the BMW club, you have to be a member for one year to take advantage of any discount they offer. The $2500 Ride & Drive event discount certificate I received from Jaguar does not have any disclaimer saying it cannot be combined with other offers, so I will have to see. I have read several threads discussing the Jaguar Club discount and it seems that some signed up and immediately got it. Can you or anyone verify this?
Kind of a NO BRAINER. Send $30 to receive a $2500 no strings attached discount off of the best price you can negotiate with the dealer... assuming you take delivery of a new Jag by years end. If you don't take delivery till next year, wait till Jan 1 to submit the application.

Amazing Car!
1. What was your previous car? 2012 SLK 350, 2009 Audi TT Convertible (3.2), 2004 Porsche Boxster S, 2008 BMW Z4 (I have a think for roadsters)
2. Did you order your F-Type? If so, how long did it take for delivery? Demo Car from Dealership- V6S with Stratus Grey on Brogue interior, Vision Package, 20" Cyclone Rims and a built in K40 radar detector.
3. What is your #1 favorite thing about the F-Type? The Sound, Seat Comfort, The Sound AGAIN, and the amount of heads that turn when you drive by!
4. What are any low points with the F-Type after ownership? Paint chipping on the rear quarter panel (jaguar is fixing), SOUND SYSTEM!
5. What options are a must? Vision Package, Active Exhaust (comes with The S and V8)
6. What options are not necessary? Everything else
7. How would the F-Type be as a daily driver? I live in NYC and only drive on the weekends. My SLK was my only car for a while and it was fine for year round use. The trunk space was adequate, but like all rear wheel drive cars, it was TERRIBLE in the snow. According to Jaguar, the F is equipped with a "snow" button and should be somewhat better.
8. Convertible owners: How do you deal with the total lack of storage space? Though it is small, I have been finding it fairly larger and getting more utility than i originally expected.
9. Has the dealer service experience been good? Decent
10. If you were to do it all over again, would you purchase another F-Type? HELL YEA!
11. Any tips for negotiating with the dealer on the F-Type? There are great incentives on Demo cars right now, as dealers are clearing out for the 2015s.
12. Any outstanding dealer salesman recommendations in the San Francisco,
Sacramento or San Jose areas? (I live in the Napa area)
13. Any other advice or problems a potential F-Type buyer should know
about?
Thanks in advance!
