Hello, I'm trying to get a better understanding of the jag club discount. The second post from the bottom on this webpage refers to a JCNA discount of $2.5K:

However, the first post on this webpage refers to a JCNA discount of $1K:

So I'm curious, does the JCNA discount fluctuate based on certain factors? Does Jaguar maintain a webpage that I can reference for the latest JCNA discount amount?

 

I do believe that the "$2500 JCNA discount" is a piece of fiction. The current JCNA member discount is $1000, as your jcna.com link shows. The only recent change in the discount is its increase from $750 to $1000 back in May 2013. Even BMW offers BMWCCA members a rebate of only $500-$1000-$1500 depending on car series.

 

I can assure you that that there was indeed a 2500 credit in addition to the numbers we negotiated when I bought my car in December. It was described as a JCNA discount. Whether it was or whether it was just marketing dollars is somewhat moot as the net effect was the same.

 

That's surprising, but what do I know - I haven't been shopping for a car in a couple of years. Certainly not a peep from JCNA about such a generous rebate - I would have thought that they would have been crowing loudly had such a membership benefit been available (or did I sleep through that also).

If any Jaguar corporate types are lurking here, I would recommend to them one of BMW's stellar practices: they offer a $500 rebate (for M models, half that for non-M) to BMWCCA members for Certified Preowned cars as well as the larger rebates for new cars. I've already taken advantage of that CPO rebate twice.

 

I just looked at the bulletin & it is $2500. for an F-Type.

 

What was your source for the bulletin?

 

As a dealer employee I have access to JBN. I logged in & looked thru the marketing bulletins & found the $2500. for an F-Type is correct all other models are still $1000.

 

@jga - are only jag employees privy to that bulletin? it would really help me if I had access to that bulletin, or another legitimate source of that information when I go to the dealer to negotiate my f-type coupe.

"There are no TrueCar Certified Dealers near Seattle, WA"

 

When you go into the dealer just ask if there is a JCNA discount on the car.

 

@Jga - I would rather know that information ahead of time, instead of taking the dealer's word for it.

If I know of a reliable website with this info, and the website says there's a $1k jcna discount on a vehicle, but the dealer says that there's no discount, then I have enough info to justify checking with another dealer.

 

I can say it should be your responsibility to ask if there is a discount for JCNA members. The dealers would benefit from you being a member as they can sell the car to you for less money making the sale easier. The dealers are fully refunded by Jaguar for this program. The only reason a sales person my not be aware of or forgotten the program is that it is seldom used. I wish more of the club members bought new cars.

 

Use the chart anyway to compare pricing levels...

 

In my case the dealer was very open about the discount and brought it up early in the discussions.
