Default Thoughts on these cars

I've finally made up my mind on buying a V6 iso a 2.0. The tax difference is big but I'm too affraid that I will have buyers remorse. There are a few MY17 out there which are heavily discounted (35 to 45%) with low mileage. Would like to hear opinions on these cars. Also worth noting is that the MY19 models have much higher emission numbers due to new calculation methods and that is also driving up the taxes (from 2500€ to almost 5000€ for the putting it on the road tax). The silver car is a private sale, the other one through a Jaguar dealer but both should still have two years warranty. Both cars are accident free and are from 03/2017. Thanks!

I can only really comment on them being an S (awesome, no regrets) and the colour. Silver was my second choice after red, it looks magic and really shows off the curves. I'd buy the silver one and then wrap the chrome to give it the black pack, which should only cost in the hundreds.

as above traded in My Range Rover Vogue for a 3lt V6 S that had loads of options added no regrets here either
8 months since I bought mine still makes me grin every time I get in it and bury my foot to the floor

The grey one in the second photo has one of the better looking wheels (tornado). They look great in black too.

Default F type S

I bought a F type S three weeks ago. It's the same gray with 20 inch Tornado wheels. Mine has burgandy red seats and my favorite part is the manual transmission. I got a '16 from a dealer certified with additional warranty. The experience at jaguar dealer was horrific and their service is terrible but got a longer warranty with free oil changes. Not sure it's worth it. My local jaguar dealer is that bad. I'd recommend buying the car you really want as no matter what you do there is always something to deal with whether bad dealer or small issues. I absolutely love the coupe s more than the 911, Cayman, or BRZ that I had in the past. Buy the one you love and drive it, drive it, drive it.
