Since I don't want to keep both cars, that likely means I'll have to trade in the F-Type, which means that CPO warranty goes poof. Unless there's someone in the NYC area actively looking for a 2018 Metallic Black F-Type R (all options except CC Brakes) with 16,000 miles. You would not only get a really good car, you would have the satisfaction of knowing you pushed me over the edge to spending even more money on a car.

Plus, if yours is a CPO warranty it is transferable, which dealers will be more interested in because they can resell the car with the balance of the CPO warranty but they don't have to pay for the whole CPO process through JLR. So the CPO will add some value to the vehicle now.

I actually took advantage of it when the coolant pipe threatened to bite me in the ***. I am actually waiting for it to expire in Feb before I install the VAP goodies I have waiting for me. I would call JLR NA, confirm when the CPO ends, and that it is maintained through private or dealership sales. If they confirm it is so, that likely raises the price you can demand.

For example, I found out that there are multiple version of the CPO warranty, which the dealer chooses when they buy it, I'm guess depending upon how much they want to spend. So the CPO warranty could be 1 year/100k, 1 year/unlimited, or 2 year/100k. So when buying a car where the dealer is adding the CPO, make sure to ask which they are buying and possible include that in the negotiation.

I asked my local Jag dealer whether it were possible to extend the warranty on the 18 but they haven't been particularly helpful or insightful. I believe the warranty on both is good to 100K miles, but I think they both are at about 50K on the clock now.

You are provided a paper to sign stating the in-service date (warranty start date) original 5 year/60k warranty expiration date, and the new CPO end date. No other brand is different and no other brand is going to offer you the maximum warranty, especially at no additional cost to you. Prior to the change the 1 year and 2 year options were both 100k cap, it’s not dealers choice and there are now only 2 options.

The wording suggests it is not as comprehensive in coverage as the new car 5-year warranty, but perhaps I am just suspicious!!

Again, Porsche is a year and 10k less warranty at new, so jaguars 1 year extension makes them equal. You also have the option to extend the Porsche warranty by another a year at a cost. Not sure what else to say if you simply can’t accept that most manufacturers aren’t going to give you their best warranty first, and offer no additional ways to turn a profit, and that’s not the same as saying they’re all the same. What I’m saying is simply every company has a similar business model in that they’re not going to offer 1 CPO warranty and only 1. Nothing to do with length and mileage, speaking strictly from the business standpoint. Your initial post made it seem as if Jaguar was trying to be deceitful in their offerings, but most manufactures do it similarly. Hopefully that gives you more context.
