selling your jag
Hi all, new joiner here. I'm just wondering how easy/difficult it is to sell your jag? i have 2014 XF which i am planning to sell. have listed it on the trademe for a long time but still hasn't got serious interest yet.
Any better way to sell the car? i have 3 cars and unfortunately with the new addition to family member, the XF is not that practical anymore.

I'm in Auckland NZ !! I monitor all Jags on Trademe at least twice a day. It's like my other hobby, besides my X358.
I'm sure you monitor Trademe as well. XF is likely the more popular/numerous size, besides X-Type, but nevertheless ads can be up for 6 months or more. My own X358 XJ was at the dealer for 6 months before I bought it (at a reasonable price but not a fire sale). As and when I sell it (not likely presently) I would expect to take a big hit. Because Jags are a niche market attracting a relatively small number of enthusiasts, it seems to me.
Apart from a chance walk-by sale at a U-Sell site, I don't see that you can do better than Trademe. Ellerslie Car Fair is a waste of time IMHO.
Anyway, I do sympathise. Jags can be hard to sell, unless there's something special about it.
But I Love Them! I Do! I Do!
P.S. Did you import this yourself from UK? Or do I have the wrong one...

Things may have changed, but when I imported my 1974 S2 XJ6 UK to NZ in 1979 (i.e. current model 5 years old) the sills were already rusted out (which I knew when I bought it). British Leyland...OR...That salt on the roads...never mind that NZ is an island surrounded by salt water...as is Japan where most of our 2nd-hand Jags come from...
Anyway, I don't know how I will sell my XJ 358 when it comes time. I'm the sort of guy who will only buy from a dealer with implied warranty or extended warranty. A private sale is literally "As is-Where is" (one could offer an Autosure Warranty, couple of grand for 3 years).
I am trying (with great difficulty)(and just dreaming) to enthuse myself on the latest XJ, where a trade-in might be possible...but I can't bring myself to go past the classic shape...with the woodwork...oh life is so difficult...better just to watch the trademe ads for free...
