V6S AWD Used vs V6S RWD CPO

V6S AWD Used vs V6S RWD CPO
I'm planning to look at both of these cars and am looking for opinions on the models
VS
I'm torn because the value of having the remaining warranty and extended CPO warranty, as well as the thorough CPO inspection, is incredible. On the other hand, I don't love the white seats and in Chicago AWD isn't necessary but could be nice in light snow.
What do you think?

I tried an AWD V6S after having my RWD V6S and found the AWD drive version had a much heavier feel to it handling wise. It was much harder to play with with respect to generating rear wheel spin or kicking the rear end out if you wished to do so. If it were a car with a V8 AWD would definitely be good thing to have to keep from overpowering the DSC (Dynamic Stupidity Control) system. If I were going to drive the car year round in an area with a lot of snow AWD would be an absolute must with a change over to winter tires. IMHO for the V6 AWD is not necessary for fair weather use unless you apply a VAP crank pulley and tune but even then I don't think its worth the extra weight.
BTW white leather seats would be a no go for me. Too unforgiving in the dirt and stain department.
No opinion on the warranty.

This one fortunately has a new set of Continental DWS Extreme all season tires. Not sure how those will handle the road mid summer, but they should help. If it get's real bad tho, I have a '96 Jeep XJ 4x4 that can get me through just about anything. That one was only $4700, so the Jag will be the princess of my garage for sure.
Good luck with whichever you chose.

Re the interior, my car has the ivory seats and I agree that it definitely brightens up the cabin. It's also not that bad from a maintenance standpoint to the extent you take care of the leather every other month or so.

I got my RWD S back in late May and was faced with exactly the same decision. I opted to go with the RWD and the additional years of the CPO warranty. I've only put about 3k on mine so far, but I have to say that it handles like nothing I've ever driven. I'm still pushing her a little more each time I go for a drive, but I have yet to be worried about the lack of traction. The rear end has walked out when I wasn't being smooth with the throttle, but the traction control snaps her right back into place.
My vote is hands down the warranty. I go out for my weekend drives without a care in the world. I can drive her like she should be driven and if she blows up, I'll just call Jaguar and tell them to come get their ****.

I got lucky on that one.
My only bitch is that my dash is starting to curl up on the passenger side and they told me that wasn't covered.
I know a lot of people aren't fans of extended warranties, but I've owned a few BMWs in the past. If you've ever owned one that wasn't under warranty you'll find that you have two monthly payments, a car payment and a repair bill. I wanted something I didn't have to worry about so I grabbed Genesis as my DD and the S Type as my fun car.

So the CPO automatically adds a year? My Factory warranty is done in May/22, he was telling me there was some cost involved in the CPO factory warranty. I am into the peace-of-mind of the warranty, but I guess I should ask for a comparison of options with the Jaguar offered warranty cost as well.
