Default Well, after a year of searching I finally made my Purchase

https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...ckType=listing


We settled on 70K Even, and they'd pay for shipping. How'd I do?

Anything I should know about the car?

Congrats, I think you did well. Low miles, certified and a stunning interior combo. Personally, I'm not a fan of debadging and I could survive without the JAGUAR letters. But the missing F-Type badge on the left makes the rear end look unbalanced with the R logo still in place in my opinion. Easy fix if you agree.

It has P-Zero tyres which you need to scrap asap and replace with something decent.

Nice eye! I didn't even notice that. I messaged the dealership and they're going to Re-Badge that for me. Thanks.

What's wrong with P-zeros?

They are ***** once they are anywhere near half worn out, especially on an F-Type R.
No grip and no traction, just ask 90% of the F-Type owners on this forum.

Aaaand... never mind they said $1700 to put the F-Type and Jaguar logo back on. WTF? They said it was a factory option to de-badge.

The P-Zeros are adequate until it's time to replace them. Most on here will agree that the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S set up is the way to go for much improved traction and handling once you use up the Pirellis.

You can purchase a black F-Type badge online for less than $40 dollars and stick it on yourself. Not sure what your dealer is trying to sell you!

Congrats. Think that's a great deal. Very sharp looking
Did you get 6 or 7 years with the certified?

I don't recall that being an option when I ordered (MY 2016). If they had it on a build sheet I'd be more inclined to trust them, although I think dealers can print up window stickers at will.

On further reflection, $1700?! That's beyond ridiculous. Even if they charge 0.5 hours per emblem and full retail for them, they're still way out of line.

Looks good to me, way back I had a deal in Boca that fell apart over shipping, I had to pay retail to get car and they used a contract rate to get mine. Added $2k to deal which made it same as west coast so you did good!

I bought my '19 F-Type from Crown back in November (9,400 miles). Very good experience with them overall. Negotiation was easy and they gave me what I think was top dollar for my trade. I came in with my own financing but they really wanted to have it so they came back with a rock bottom rate. They are too far away for me to go for regular covered maintenance so I go to JLR in Ft. Myers. And their new facility is top notch I'm glad you found the car you were looking for. And I agree the debadge on the back just looks wrong..

Concur with the P-zeros being adequate until time to change; I also did the P4S tires - marked improvement. Welcome to Jaguar pricing from dealers ($1700!). I have a '16 similar color and love it. As many have done, if you get a bit to accustomed to the power, you can put a pulley and tune on it to make it a bit more enjoyable.
