Hi all

Looking at leasing a Ftype coupe base mode with the tech package and 19in wheels

What should I be expecting for a lease payment? Just starting to look now.

Historically does jaguar have good year end deals?

Thanks!

 

Way too many variables to assist with your question:

Price you agree upon
Term
Miles per year
Credit Tier
Dealer markup
ETC (term and miles lead to residual as I listed above)

Im sure you can just go to any local area Jag dealer website and see their base coupe offerings. They even list pmt specials at times on their base models.

 

I leased a V6 S in Atlanta about 6 months ago. Pricing can definitely vary by dealer. When it was all said and done, I put down 20k and have 35 payments of $455. My goal was to get into a 36 month lease and pay 36k. I just made that goal. MSRP was $92,500. The V6 and V6S are definitely the lease sweet spots as far as residual value. The V8 came out $250-$300 more per month.

On a side note, I have been leasing cars for about 10 years. I always walk in with the mentality of "net pricing", which is my case was 36k for 36 months. Salesman will put 10 different spins on the same exact payment all day long. IMO, stick to the net and you got a shot...

 

So, given that Net cost over a set period is the aim, could you not have achieved the same result with a lower deposit and higher payments?

More cash stays in your account...

 

Yes sir, I certainly could have. Just a personal preference to have lower payments and less debt on credit reports.

 

Credit reference agencies must work differently where you are. Here, that you can service more debt boosts your credit rating.

So there's a cost benefit analysis to be done on interest earnt vs credit rating...

 

Thanks for the replies guys... I know it depends on dealer, but can you get fairly close to invoice price end of year?

 

That would be for you to determine in your shopping. I would certainly hope so. I got about $9,500 off the MSRP on my vehicle (including the $2,500 JCNA discount).

Not sure how many dealers on in your area, but start emailing a few near you and get the process started. That's the only way to determine what they are willing to do.

 

Credit in the States is definitely goofy. In some cases, some debt definitely boosts your rating. In my case, again, it's just a preference to have less of it.

 

I was unaware of the JCNA discount! Is it still going on, and does it apply to leases of a coupe?

Where do I join the national level club?

Thanks

Does the discount apply to leases?

 

And is it now $1000 instead of 2500?

 

If you are never late on payments, it is exactly the same formula in the U.S. You are often penalized for canceling credit cards, etc.

 

New member here. Currently own an XF and will take delivery today on a 2014 V6 F-Type convertible that I will be leasing. I got the $2500 JCNA discount applied to the capital cost reduction. Dealer said it's still good until March of 2015. FWIW, here in the northeast U.S there are good deals to be had on convertibles. Between dealer incentives (to move a leftover 2014 convertible) and the JCNA discount, I negotiated the capital cost down nearly $10k from MSRP.

The dealers do not seem to be moving as much on the coupes, and my dealer said that they've already stopped taking orders for MY2015 F-Types. Any orders they take now will be for MY2016 vehicles. He also said that they are cutting production numbers on the F-Type in anticipation of a slowdown in demand and also to support a ramp-up in production of the XE. It sounds like Jaguar intends to keep the F-Type a vehicle with some exclusivity to ownership. This is all from a dealer, mind you, so take it for what that's worth. Personally, I wouldn't mind at all if that's true, since that will mean I won't see many others where I live, and the resale should be improved by that.

 

I suspect now would be an excellent time in Minnesota to negotiate a killer deal on a 2014 F-Type convertible.

Welcome to the forum.

 

...or Maine

 

I stand corrected (as I didn't check the current weather in MN vs. current conditions in ME).

Just wait...

 

Interesting on cutting production. I would say it's more about the XE than the F-Type demand...but who knows. I do speculate that many people love the F-Type but are just too afraid to pull the trigger, thus demand is hurting. If you had $70-$100 to spend on a car, it's a much safer bet to buy Porsche, Mercedes, BMW. It's like in the old days picking IBM....just a safe bet, even if not the best.

 

It all depends on supply and demand ;p
