I'm in the market for a 2018/2019 and a dealer just gave me an offer of $75K (plus TTR) on a XJL with a sticker of $94K...I know the 2020 will be a completely different beast and they want to move these things. Is that a good deal? Thanks in advance for any advice.

 

ok so 125 views and no comments...Maybe you guys can give me an idea of where to look for an answer? Places like truecar dont seem to work for heavily discounted models like the XJ...Ideas? Many thanks!!!

 

It's 20% off so seems a good deal to me assuming you get the full warranty and so on, and also that you like the car - colour interior etc. These cars are not fast sellers so dealers are keen to shift them on. What was the trim level ? I had just parked my car in Sandbach and a guy was just leaving with his current XJ in a lovely red colour with light colour trim, so I asked him how he was getting on with the car - "I love it" he said. "totally marvellous". A good omen maybe for my next car !

 

Jagman, like Fraser says, what you are getting is a good deal as long as you are getting the warrantee with it. May want to ask whether it is getting the 36 month/36K mile warrantee or if it is getting the 4 yr/50K mile warrantee (or something of the like). You want to make sure you know what you are getting as jaguar has shifted back and forth with this warrantee and not all cars got the longer version. If the one you are getting is the supercharged 5.0L version, keep an eye on the water pump. If there is a weakness, that will be it. Not sure what the other motors may have as their weakness.

 

 

Car Gurus and Carfax are good sites for price reference. About a year ago, there were some new 2016 3.0 Portfolios for sale by a Jag dealer in upper NY state priced in the mid 50s on the Carfax site. Probably had 90K stickers. They were zero mileage and had full warranties. Sorry I missed out on them.

 

I thought Jag finally updated to a 5 year/60K mile warranty?

Yep, our 2017 XJ manufacturer warranty is 5yr/60K.

 

You can't lose with that long of a warranty for this type of automobile.

 

One question to ask the dealer is the in service date as that is when the warranty clock starts. I say this as we have heard in the past from members buying "new" Jags that dealers will place the cars in service to get perks from the factory. So ask for the in service date.

 

That's a good point and VERY common to!

It’s called punching once they put the car into service. That happen more often at smaller dealer but that doesn’t necessarily mean the car won’t have the incentives if the haven’t. If they punch the car they typically have to sell the vehicle as used.

 

Great deals!!!!!!

 

Tomorrow I’m picking up a 2018 XJL SC dealer demo with 28 miles. Listed at $102k, paying 77k. Got the CPO extended warranty for 6 yrs 100k miles for another 1500.

pretty happy with the deal.

 

You can't beat that deal. Enjoy driving that new vehicle "to the max."
