Worst time of year to sell, but...

Maserati’s wording is “up to 2 years.” Which is same as Jaguars. I can guarantee you any CPO car that wasn’t traded in or sold to the dealer with a preexisting 2 year CPO will only come with the 1 year option at their listed selling price and if you so choose you can purchase the full 2 years. Again, Porsche is a year and 10k less warranty at new, so jaguars 1 year extension makes them equal. You also have the option to extend the Porsche warranty by another a year at a cost. Not sure what else to say if you simply can’t accept that most manufacturers aren’t going to give you their best warranty first, and offer no additional ways to turn a profit, and that’s not the same as saying they’re all the same. What I’m saying is simply every company has a similar business model in that they’re not going to offer 1 CPO warranty and only 1. Nothing to do with length and mileage, speaking strictly from the business standpoint. Your initial post made it seem as if Jaguar was trying to be deceitful in their offerings, but most manufactures do it similarly. Hopefully that gives you more context.

Seems to me that an extended warranty is a fear-based product [like much of insurance]. A great service would be a company that would keep numbers on what issues each car manufactured has over time. This would make it MUCH easier to assess reliability and whether it would make sense to seek extended coverage.
For instance, if you knew that the transmission is going to fail 80% of the time on that prized Yugo 55 in your garage, perhaps you might have thought twice before plunking down $150. for it!
Seriously, think about how little information car buyers have when attempting to assess reliability. It's why extended warranties have such a bad rep when the decision to purchase coverage should be based on risk alone [through knowing the percentage of component failure over mileage/time].

Also, paperwork varies by state. There was no special CPO paperwork here in NJ, only a form indicating that the warranty was from the factory and not provided by the dealership (or "as-is").

Surprisingly, my dealer also did not offer the additional year of CPO when I bought the car. I asked about it and the finance person advised it was an option and gave me a price. I negotiated that price down, and we agreed and I added to the purchase. So not all dealers offer it up automatically at the time of sale.
Funny part was the thing that started this whole thread was me finding a couple of cars that I was interested in buying, and thus selling the F-Type. But I've been dumbfounded by these dealers right now. Half of them still think its 2021 and they can do and charge whatever they want, and the other half are trying everything possible to make the real prices higher than the lower prices they now have to advertise. It's getting annoying.

Not for nothing, but given that dealers will try to sell you just about anything extra with the car, if there was an additional option for the CPO that I could buy, they would have offered it. They did not. Thus I figured there was only one CPO option, which the car had.

anyone who is looking to get into an F Type feel free to reach out. I’m at a dealer in NY and we have a couple I could potentially convince my manager to do at MSRP for forum members (we have a couple of Rs and R Dynamics).

been curious about this as well. i'll sell my v6 for a fair price, need a truck in recent times and as far as all my digging has found prices are in fact coming down, slowly. the real reasons why prices were up to begin with aren't gonna be rectified quickly =P you guys should all take this stuff into account in your decision-making =)

And here in Boston the JLR dealer has two new F-Types with $6000 discount to MSRP listed on their website. Not sure if that's a dealer incentive but seems to reinforce that pricing is a bit all over the place at the moment as the market readjusts...
Including a P450 R-Dynamic vert in BRG over tan. Looks nice!
