Any new updates on this situation. Appears the owner who posted the thread has disappeared without informing the forum the end result with the dealer.

 

I'm kind of curious as well.

 

That makes at least three of us.

 

Haven't disappeared just trying to work through this, the dealership has taken care of the Driving Academy (going to attend December 10, 2014 at Homestead Speedway), they are now working to try and hook me up with a 6 year/100,000 mile warranty. As soon as it all takes place I will be sure and let ya'll know the outcome. The whole process is moving very slowly.

 

Jerry,

Great news! Exactly what I advocated in my post# 36, above.

Let me know where to send my invoice. (Just kidding).

Was it determined if the car was "New or Used"? That appeared to be a major issue for you, as you stated you bought a used car. Other posters suggested the dealer was fraudulent, and suggested you take court action.

I have to assume litigation was not necessary.

 

Richard,

Obviously, used since a new car is not eligible for the Jaguar Select Edition CPO Warranty, which extends the original 4-year factory warranty by an additional 2 years from the date initially placed in service for a total of 6 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is a better warranty for the OP than the new car 4/50,000 warranty.

Didn't you receive your title yet? What does it say?

 

The title says new, it is/was Jaguar that stated it was not. Just as soon as we get everything taken care of, I will post the complete results.
Thanks.

 

If you post the last six digits of your serial number I can tell you when it was punched.

 

B51442

 

Your car was punched on March 31 2014. It looks like the car had about 14 miles on it when you purchased the car. They must have punched the car in March to make the numbers. There are quite a few cars out there in dealers lots that have been punched.

 

Technically (and, I suspect legally), it's a "used" car since the dealer took title first. In practical reality, a new car since only 14 miles on it when the OP bought it. I doubt that a state will undo a transfer of legal title where there is no dispute about the facts.

If I was in the OP's situation, I would be very pleased with Jaguar's offer of the 6 year/100,000 mile warranty and payment for the Jaguar Driving Academy.

 

The dealer does not take title & the car is not registered, it is simply reported as sold. The car is still on the original CO not titled.

 

Great news TEXASXKR...I certainly thought the car would be listed as "new" and not a "used" car with only 14 miles, nor did I ever think the dealer would commit fraud. They would have way too much to lose in operating a business.

I am sure you now you can sleep at night knowing you purchased a "new" Jaguar.

Thanks for the update and keeping us informed. It is good education for all forum members.

Enjoy the ride. You own one awesome premium automobile.

 

Interesting. To whom was it reported as sold, Jaguar NA, the state, anyone else? Was there a real buyer? How can there be a sale if there is no transfer of title? Can you explain? Is this something unique to the automobile industry? Thanks in advance for clearing this up.

 

Great story with a happy ending.

 

Glad to see that this is on the road to being cleared up to your liking.

 

I haven't read the whole thread, but what seems to be going on here is a difference of opinion on what constitutes "new". In some states, and I think NV where I live is one of them, a dealer can sell a car as "new" if it has under 300 miles on the odo. Note, this is the STATE'S definition of new. Dollars to doughnuts the Jaguar system consider a car as "used" one computer clock cycle after the dealer punches it as sold, even if it is just the dealer taking title.

Reminds me a little of my status in the US a few years back. For a long time the STATE considered me a resident, as I had an in state address and job for more than 30 days. However, by immigration law I was not a legal resident, I was here on a visa. Confusion and hilarity followed depending on which definition fit a particular scenario or was most advantageous to me.

I think you will find the car was never titled (still on the original MSO) just reported. A used car would have a title issued by your state.
