I will say that the standard 5 year warranty including services was definitely an influencing factor in my original purchase.

 

If you wish to add an additional year, that is up to you. 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.

 

Not for nothing, but given that dealers will try to sell you just about anything extra with the car, if there was an additional option for the CPO that I could buy, they would have offered it. They did not. Thus I figured there was only one CPO option, which the car had.

Also, paperwork varies by state. There was no special CPO paperwork here in NJ, only a form indicating that the warranty was from the factory and not provided by the dealership (or "as-is").

 

Surprisingly, my dealer also did not offer the additional year of CPO when I bought the car. I asked about it and the finance person advised it was an option and gave me a price. I negotiated that price down, and we agreed and I added to the purchase. So not all dealers offer it up automatically at the time of sale.

 

Then good that you asked. Go figure these dealers.

Funny part was the thing that started this whole thread was me finding a couple of cars that I was interested in buying, and thus selling the F-Type. But I've been dumbfounded by these dealers right now. Half of them still think its 2021 and they can do and charge whatever they want, and the other half are trying everything possible to make the real prices higher than the lower prices they now have to advertise. It's getting annoying.

 

ooo that good

 

So for anyone who has actually bought recently - what is pricing like in reality? At sticker? Discount to sticker (how much)?

 

Convince? I just bought a '23 F-Type in November 2022 and I paid under MSRP without any trouble. Additionally, other dealers were quoting at or below MSRP. If your dealership is still pricing above MSRP you're about 6 months behind the rest of the world.

Besides simple greed, it may well be that they paid a high trade-in price on the cars back when things were nuts, and figure they "cannot take a loss." Reality could care less what they think, but it's on potential buyers to hold them to that.

 

been curious about this as well. i'll sell my v6 for a fair price, need a truck in recent times and as far as all my digging has found prices are in fact coming down, slowly. the real reasons why prices were up to begin with aren't gonna be rectified quickly =P you guys should all take this stuff into account in your decision-making =)

 

Yes, I've noticed a lot of dealers are refusing to accept reality.

 

I just saw a brand new Mercedes on a lot, and it had a "$5000 market adjustment" on the price list, upwards, of course. They're still living in Fantasy Land.

 

And here in Boston the JLR dealer has two new F-Types with $6000 discount to MSRP listed on their website. Not sure if that's a dealer incentive but seems to reinforce that pricing is a bit all over the place at the moment as the market readjusts...
Including a P450 R-Dynamic vert in BRG over tan. Looks nice!
