It's good to be bad, again!

Have you considered this "R" car? https://www.autotrader.ca/a/jaguar/f...0044278927706/
They are describing it as "new" yet the listing shows it with 1,274 KM. You may be able to haggle the price down to under $90K Cdn.

Best of luck finding another car.
My Jag dealer is also very bad. We had some disagreements and I had everything documented on paper. In the end my dealer said it was a typo.
Jaguar dealers can do many things and Jaguar corporate doesn't have a lot of control over them.

Just some random musings for DGL...
Circa a year ago MY 2017 SVR's were being discounted down to around $90K US dollars. (I realize a few buyers probably got slightly better deals through family of dealers etc. and perhaps the bottom was $85K US or so.)
Today's US-CAN dollar exchange rate via google is $1.33 CAN for every US dollar. Thus that same $90K US translates to $119,700 CAN dollars.
Here is a MY 2018 SVR in Canada listed for $119,900 with 141 Km's on it. It does not have the CCB, but seems otherwise well optioned. https://www.autotrader.ca/a/jaguar/f...%203A8&sprx=-1
So is this car a similarly good deal to what all the USA buyers that purchased about a year ago got?

I know the specific car very well. The dealer is local to me and have tried to sell it to me as well (I prefer the R for personal reasons) and recently told me it was sold to someone on the east coast.
I did consider it as the price was good and I was intrigued by the Prince Harry connection.
sorry to hear your experience as I always found them to be friendly and honest.
good luck finding something else.

I emailed the GM and out of frustration told him to return my deposit. The next day the car was sold. I surmise he had someone else to buy the car at a higher price and the GM intentionally frustrated me to the point of not wanting to deal with him. I think the GM knew exactly what he was doing and had a more favorable offering in the waiting. This is poor leadership and I'm sure such tactics will poison his organization.
When I first called about the car the sales lady was quick to say Prince Harry drove the car in the invictus games thinking it would help to get a more money for the car. I researched the researched car. Youtube has several videos of the car being driven hard by many drivers. Prince Harry was a passenger in one of the track events. The video also shows the rear bumper was smashed. This backfired on the sales lady and she was not going to pull the wool over my eyes. Of course, she denied knowing of the track challenge.
I wrote up a poor review on google for the dealership. The dealership has many other poor reviews with only a 4.1 rating.

Sparky, after the last deal fell through I became skeptical of dealerships. Especially Jaguar dealerships. I've caught a few in a number of lies. Personally, I like the MB AMG GT-C, but it is only rear wheel drive. I've been looking since December, but have not come across a great deal for a car with the options I want. I'm in no hurry...

You are quite correct to be very wary of JLR dealers, including the one selling this P7. They have finally dropped the listed price on this P7 from $350K to ~$196.6K, which is much closer to the original MSRP at launch, of ~$188K Can.
Although the P7 certainly is not a year-round driver, it makes for an interesting garage piece. The P7 is still too new to be increasing in value, but on the same hand I don't believe they have dropped in value like most other cars in it's class. It might just be worth the gamble of buying, enjoying, and then flipping in another 5 or 6 six years.
