Is it worth it and would you do it again?

Is yours' a coupe? i have the coupe, and after I pulled out the spare there is heaps of room for groceries (small family), though I couldnt buy a month's grog and groceries in the same trip. For grog I can fit in a carton of beer and 3 X 6 bottle cases of sparking and have a bit of room left over. For groceries I can fit in maybe 8 enviro type bags of stuff, though once or twice I've had to pop something in the front seat as well. No chance with big boxes though.

The XKR was probably a bit better, the trunk was smaller but you could put things in the back seat, but realistically I was pretty impressed with what I could get into the boot of the f Type, it was really my packhorse for 5 years before I got the Mustang.

Sorry, didn't answer the thread's question. I have no plans to sell our F-Type, and if something happened to it, I'd consider another, depending how much I got from insurance.

It’s been worth it to me. So far no big problems, and items still under warranty. I love the car. I only wish Jag was continuing to develop and improve the ICE F-Type. I believe they could have tweaked and upgraded this spectacular vehicle even more than they have, but alas, I think what we have now will be as good as it gets, and I’m not interested in an EV.

Barring any showstoppers I will keep this car a long time, especially since there won’t be another new one by the time I’m ready. So, although not a fan of the new front end, I may look at a gently-used 2023 V8 when the time comes.
