New F-Type R owner from Cayuga Ontario
Hello all, I guess a short introduction is in order here.
Last night I purchased my first JAG. I had been considering an F-Pace for some time, as my 2011 Volvo XC60 was long paid for, and it was getting to be time to upgrade.
My young business has been doing well lately, and is maturing nicely. I am a farmer, but more-so a farm drainage contractor in my area.
No Children, so I am free to spend their inheritance. Its just my wife and I.
When my father turned 50, he bought a new 1986 Firebird Trans Am, which gives me permission to do something similar this year.
This purchase is a lifetime purchase for me. I am not the kind of car buyer who can afford to swap cars like shoes. It takes a long time to decide what and when to buy. For me, any car is a ton of money.
I have a pickup as a daily driver, so this F-type will be a treat, a weekend car. I thoroughly enjoyed my Volvo; the amount of enjoyment I got out of driving it made me realize that purchasing an expensive high end car would make a really good investment for me.
So the car is a white 2017 F-Type R. Which implies it has the 5L 550HP Engine, AWD. It is Certified Used from the local JAG dealer. It has 9800km on it, and original owner ordered it with the full jam of options. Carbon fibre trimmed rims, black pack, body coloured lower facia skirts, From what I know it has every option. Glass roof. memory passenger seat. cd player.
What I will say is this. The F-pace svr is a similar price(new) so I was planning to go that route. But I thought I should at least consider that F-Type. One blip of the throttle and I knew that if I didn't buy that car I would never forgive myself.. There was no way I was going to be happy driving anything else. The F-Pace was immediately out of the question.
So I made a rash move and signed up on the spot. I have never done that before.
I know I'm going to love this car.
That's about it for me. ttyl

Congratulations on your Impulse Jaguar purchase!
Fun, wasn't it!
You go through cars like I do; buy one and then drive it for a looooong time. One certainly gets the use from one when done like that.
