Received this today from Jaguar.

 

what was the occasion?

 

I think it's just a new car thing. Jaguar sent me one a little while after I bought my XJL in November

 

I got the same thing because I financed through JLR.

 

I paid cash...got zip dot squat.

I take that back! On Monday they gave me a clutch that feels real good.

 

Ditto. :-)

 

I paid cash and got one of those keyrings!

Hey, unhinged, if you're ever down this way, look me up... I'd like to have you get a feel for my clutch. I've had no issues, but I'm curious if mine as delivered feels different than yours as delivered.

 

Would you rather have a key chain instead?

 

I was going to respond with the smart-assed comment: "If it had a ____key attached to it." But, I couldn't think of another car I'd rather have to fill in the blank.

 

Two road trips scheduled this year: the Lobster Run and the CO Rockies to trade seat time with a friend's E-Type.

The Blue Ridge and Carolinas Run (and Tail of the Dragon) will have to be next year.

 

+1.

 

New car gift of appreciation for purchase of ftype R. Car at dealers for service so can't attach keys.

 

I got one of key chains, too.


Even better was a $17K+ discount and free Xpel paint protection film when I bought my R.

 

As much as I like my F-type, if someone handed me keys for V12 Vantage S with the stick shift or Ferrari F12, I'd take it and not ask for F-type back.

At the same time, any car on this list easily 2x to 5x price of F-type.

On a second thought, maybe I shouldn't. I am not rich enough to enjoy something that expensive to its fullest. I'd probably end up just looking at it as it sits.

 

Yes, that would be tempting.

 

The dealer tossed in the xpel for free?

 

Yup. It was part of the deal.

 

Nice

 

During the negotiating process, I told them that other Jag dealers in the area were offering the same amount of discount (which they actually weren't), and demanded that they include "something extra" to differentiate them from the rest in order to earn my business. I suggested the free Xpel, and luckily they agreed.

 

How much of the car did they do with the spelling?
