Default Why Jaguar sales have crumbled

Low sales, high depreciation... definitely the buyer's market...

Jaguar Sales Crumble in U.S. in February - 24/7 Wall St.

"For the month of February, Jaguar decreased 9 percent to 1,410 from 1,552 units in February 2014. The brand volume leader, Jaguar XF was down 22 percent off of record February sales in 2014. The Jaguar F-TYPE continues to grow with an increase of 31 percent to 422 units from 322 in February 2014. In 2015, the 16 MY Jaguar F-TYPE will newly be available with options of all-wheel drive and a manual transmission..."

"...The problem with relying on the most expensive end of a model line to lift results is that only so many people are willing to pay the premium. The price of an F-TYPE can run more than $100,000."

The model range is a little limited & some models are in need of a facelift .Jag are not a volume player & even the XE will be of very little interest to some people .

Shortage of supply after ~1200 new Jaguars and Range Rovers were stranded on board a freighter, destined for the US, listed in Southampton waters.

Look out for 'slight water damage' cars to flood the market!
