Default (Hopefully) New F Type Owner, chances on an Ultra Blue

Hi all! Hoping to find an Ultra Blue F-Type S soon, hopefully in the 40kish range. Anyone know how likely those are to find around Michigan? Thanks!

This is a great forum for information which I’ve consulted many times. Many of us have purchased preowned jaguars. My suggestion for you is check all the pertinent websites, enter your must haves and see the results. Check daily and you will have a very clear picture of the number of f types in your color and must haves and there location. Good luck with your search. Cheers Frank

We need more F Type representation in Michigan Between auto trader, car guru and car fax, something should pop up in time but Michigan is slim pickings. I had to fly out to Long Island to pick mine up but I wanted one with around 5k mileage, convertible and full documentation. Best of luck!

Where in Michigan are you from? I found my 2019 R-Dynamic Coupe online (Car Gurus) in New Jersey a year ago and loving every day I drive it. Definately check ALL the online sites or contact Jaguar Grand Rapids and they may be able to help you. At $40K you'll probably be in the 2016-2017 year models unless you end up looking at a "R" or "SVR"; then ya gotta add 3-5 grand. Good luck with the hunt and a pre-welcome to the small "club" of Michigan F-Type owners. I've only seen 3 or 4 In the Wild in a year.

Go to the Jaguar inventory locator. Filter by what you want. Just keep checking. This is how I found my new Type R in Sorrento Yellow. There were only 2 in the US at the time, so I purchased it from a dealer several states away after viewing a million pictures and videos they sent me at my request. Then, they shipped it to me in a closed transport. I got $10k off MSRP from a factory rebate which offset the shipping cost of $700.

For used, ive had good luck with Car Gurus.

Good luck!

Thanks all! Definitely keeping my eye on all the sites you recommended, fingers crossed something comes up before too long. I'm looking for an S coupe and 2016/2017 is what I had in mind. 🍻 all!

It does seem to be a small club! I'm around the Ann Arbor area, definitely have never seen an ultra blue f type anywhere in the mid Michigan area. I'll definitely contact the dealer 👍

Thanks for the car gurus recommendation! I actually see a convertible 2018 ub in my price range, but it's a rebuilt title. Ideally I'd like a coupe but hmm

I can’t imagine taking my F Type downtown A2. Streets were bad when we left in ‘08 and they only seem to get worse whenever we come back for a Blimpy burger. Dexter road would be fun though, terrorize the bike riders.

Ultra Blue might be a big ask. There’s a Loire Blue one north of Chicago: https://www.imperialmotorsjaguarofla...397b095377.htm

We bought our ‘18 Pace from them. Good dealership group.

nice! But, don't buy one with a salvage title. Could be a flood car.

I was lucky. I found my '17 Ultra Blue British Design Edition Coupe about 15 miles from my house!
Good luck finding yours, it's a stand-out color that shows the car's beautiful lines from any angle & Gets attention wherever it goes!

It hits all the big car sites in one swoop.

Good luck finding your color. Seeing as I was going for a manual, it was basically impossible to have my choice, so I just got a wrap. Gives you more options going that way too!

Janet is aware that Tamala wants to be the next owner. In the meantime, Selman is selling his 2014 F-Type R RWD coupe. Dark blue exterior (I'm not sure of the specific shade blue) with lipstick red interior and carbon-ceramic brakes.
