For that price range, I'd rather pick up a pre facelift SVR. It looks better, sounds better, and much cheaper. In fact, I have

Well, other than minor body shaping and LCD dash, what has really changed (updated styling or technological progression per se) in the last 5 years on the car to demand such an aggressive entry offering price? Personally, I'd consider other used offerings and/or makes before jumping into a brand new F-Type. That's a shame for the brand.

Also - wasn't there an announcement that Jag was dropping current model offerings to then only to compete with higher end competitors? Maybe a result as well?

Drive off the dealer's lot and you've got a year-old car. Limited market, holidays and winter approaching doesn't help either.

Or perhaps folks out there are sensing that this Ponzi economy is about to crash?

Great deal and a great car...suspension got updated and I suspect a host of little things get revised year over year....I am partial to the older front end and rear lights...could go either way on the sport seats. And I added carplay via alliexpress for 400 dollars (wireless)....so I am happy in my v6 at under half that...but compared to an entry 911....jag all day long.

Looking for a used vert SVR or V8 S to add to F-Pace SVR and have decided to wait till January. I think it will give the prices a little more time to come down to reality. Hopefully January is a good time for dealers to be nervous about convertibles, but not so nervous as to say keep the price as-is, we can just wait till spring, lol.

Speaking of, the majority of f-types I am interested in seem to be southern east coast/floriday. As a child of the midwest, I know salt is a real killer, but I do not know about coastal cars. I would guess rust would be a concern, but not compared to something drivin regularly in the midwest winters where a daily salt water bath on the undercarriage is a normal thing.

Unless the owner lives on the beach and parks his car outside, or takes weekly drives in the surf, the salt air off the ocean wouldn't affect most coastal cars. I'm originally from northern Wisconsin and there are zero cars in Florida that exhibit the symptoms of salt compared to the midwest.

They list "Mars Red / Ebony", so they call out both colors.. However, the only red part is just the seat belts.
