I bought mine with $141k sticker for $132k (with forged wheel package). I got an offer from a dealer for $95k. Now remember, dealers will always make lowball, absurd offers. It's what they do. Cars with similar miles to mine are selling for $110-112k. But mine has the forged wheel package which I think is awesome ( a $10k option). I specifically wanted mine with this option.
But there are more than a few for under $120k and the sticker is definitely above $130, especially for convertibles.
If you're concerned about depreciation, buy it slightly used (there are a few out there) or just don't buy an F type. The only cars that don't depreciate much as Ferraris, Mclarens, most Porsches, GTRs, and special, limited production cars like the M4 GTS or AMG-Black series or Project 7.

first look and thoughts of the 18 svr
i still can't find any decent pics/video of the interior. there's a few things i'm not liking atm, such as the faux alu painted trim around steering wheel, airvents and door trim, and the change from metal finish door handles to black - need more convincing this was a change for the better, and not just to tie it in with a base model XE
only videos jag have released of new interior are the 400R which has all that trim above done like the old R model

Ahh lack of bolster adjustment is another issue, especially when autocar mentions the new seats aren't as heavily bolstered

I've been spoilt by seats in my m3, they are just about perfect for me in both seat back and base bolstering.
In comparison the R seats inflated are pretty close in the seat back but the base feels too flat

Decided to be weird and convert my R body fender, rocker and sills to the SVRs. I really hated the R wide side sills that loved to collect water. The conversion was a breeze, but now the car is starting to feel a little too black. These are crappy photos, didn't have time to make the car pose. It is sitting on a bump, so the rear looks higher than normal. But the next thing is putting on my VAP lowering springs.

I would suspect yours are only the standard plastic paddles that comes stock on some variants.
