Will do. Local dealer has no idea what they're doing.

Operating on the assumption that the Tampa dealer will be just as fruitful of an experience...

I hope not.

What's your guys name over there? Feel free to PM.

 

there seem to be several 2014 new f-type v8 convertibles in the mid $60k range. they would see well priced but I am wondering the thoughts of the group?

I stand corrected...low $70's. is this a good deal?

 

I took delivery on my f-type R...black, loaded...msrp over $114k bought for $90...Greenville Jag

 

Likely the RWD's...

Once you drive the AWD's, you'll realize it was an absolutely necessary upgrade for the R brand.

You'll feel this in the traction when you think you start slipping going 95 around that tight corner, but the AWD just holds and holds like crazy!

 

Contacting Greenville now sir. Will report results.


Anyone else want to chime in with final price on your new 2016 Coupe's bought recently?



I'm looking at this build, and starting a new thread for all those interested. As this thing is going in my garage ASAP, and I'm a deal-hunter, I hope I can provide people of this forum with some buying advice once all is said and done...

I would look for ~$20k off this for the 2016 from all the reports I'm hearing.

Dealerships, or those kind gentleman with good dealership referrals, please contact me ASAP via this thread or PM.

 

I deleted all my contact info for Tampa when I bought my car (in NY). I'd speak to the manager and get to the point.

 

I expect this was a 2016? Any miles? Has the warranty started? Coupe or vert?

 

I just purchased my 2016 F-type R from Jaguar of Orlando. What an amazing experience. Both my sales guy as well as the manager were outstanding.

$110k MSRP, got for $96k including the extra year of warranty.

Last 4 cars were BMWs, most recently M5. I love my new car, but the sales experience was second to none. I have received good followup from the dealership, gifts, etc- never got that from BMW, MB, or Ford.

 

Congratulations and welcome, stick around, please post photos and your thoughts. Coupe or convertible. Must have the CC brake package?

 

The CC brakes will only offer an advantage in a severe track situation. As a daily driver, the humongous maintenance c0sts will prove a nuisance. That said, if they had been available with the MT, I would have opted for them just for the unsprung weight savings. That, however, can be accomplished far less expensively with CF wheels.

 

I was only asking due to msrp, not that I thought car must have them. Internet miscommunication.

 

There are a number of dealers with '14 V8's. Why in heaven would a dealer sit on these. They should sell for the price of a low mileage used one, unless warranty hasn't started, which i doubt.

 

Thanks for chiming in!

Is this including Tax/dealership fees?

I'll definitely add this to my list of dealerships to approach.

 

What would you define as a severe track situation?

This car will be my daily (not far commute everyday, luckily - 15-20mins max), as well as my new hobbyist weekend track car...

I imagine there will be cruises upon cruises through FL and beyond once I get the thing, but nonetheless, it will be both my daily and tracker.

Will I live to blow out my 30th birthday candles if I take to the track with the regular R breaks?

How long will the regular R breaks typically give you at the track before running into problems?

From what I'm seeing listed around the country, it doesn't seem like there are many left with the ceramics anyways... Would maybe have to consider the 2017.

 

Probably because they can't get rid of them... Hence the great pricing you're seeing on the 2016's and 2017's...

The power of the F-Type R is still relatively unknown and out of the interest range of most people who would be looking for a car with an MSRP upwards of $100k anyways.

Most people will see the F-Type S's drive around, and think "cool story bro", and move on and get something else...

I for one love the fact that I'll be driving around in a stealth F Type-R Porsche killer that no one knows about very soon.

...Unless you're talking 911 Turbo/Turbo S or GT3 of course at a price point of about $100k more.

My neighbor is going to laugh me out of the garage when I tell him that the F Type R keeps up with his Ferrari 458 in the 0-60 and quarter mile until I show him the facts... Greatly look forward to tracking/swapping with him.

 

In my mind, severe track use is a 20+ lap road race. The CC brakes will begin to fade less quickly than the super performance brakes. if you are just heading out to the track to do a series of half dozen or so hot laps, you'll have plenty of brakes with what comes standard on the car.

Fading does not occur suddenly. It progressively gets worse, giving you plenty of time to adjust your corner approach speeds to stay safe.

 

So if I want to spend 5+hrs out there in legit multi-lap road race, get the CC's + 5 new sets of replacement tires?

Thanks for the input man. I'll be a first timer out there on the track, so it should be a fun learning experience to say the least.

Although, after much advice from numerous forum members I think I'll pass on the CC's unless the deal is too hot not to snap up. Or, if I'm advised otherwise by an experienced tracker that knows how important this major newfound interest of mine is.

I'm hoping to make it to the track quite a bit... Dare I say twice a week once I get the vehicle, for ~2 hrs at a time... It's highly likely that I'll eventually get bored and not go nearly as much, but I definitely want to experience the newfound excitement.

I consider myself an extremely proficient and accurate driver, but either way, I know I'm going to have a shitload of learning to do once I actually hit the track. Perhaps so much, that that fact alone might indeed be enough of a deterrent from getting the CC's due to overall lack of skill... Thoughts?

 

I don't think there are any sanctioning bodies that will allow you to go road racing without a full roll cage or at least roll bar, so that will limit you to open track and HPDE events. And if you are relatively new to high performance driving, you won't initially be pushing it hard enough into the turns to actually be able to notice the advantage of the CCs over the Super Performance Brakes. Your decision to get the CCs only if they come as part of a good deal makes good sense.

 

I guess I didn't provide a lot of information...it's an ebony 2016 convertible, blade wheels with the carbon fiber, black pack, vision pack, red seat belts and some other things...new with 11 miles so the warranty was effective on purchase date...msrp $114,683...purchase price was $89,991.
