Anxious to buy and can't decide

The 650 body was boring too me. It needs more curves. I wasn't a fan of the current body when it first came out but I grew to like it over time so I sold the 2008 one and bought it. The power and acceleration were great. It has 445 hp. The exhaust is ok in sport mode. The 650 is a great. At. I just wanted something sportier. I'm giving up a lot but I'm gaining a beautiful car that sounds great. It stands out from the crowd. Here are my 650s

I checked the car out yesterday and found that it was wrapped. The dealer agreed to pull the wrap off. I'm also going to have them take the tint off of the tail lights. I don't want any trouble with the law.

I agree on the price range. Prices are starting to drop below 70k. I just noticed a low mileage Salsa Red 2015 R for 68k in the same region as the IRR car. https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...3940/overview/
I've even seen a few CPOs in the low 70s but none of them have the specs that I want. I don't mind driving down to Atlanta to check out the car. I purchased my last car and my wife's car in that area so I'm used to traveling there. I also like hanging out in ATL so I've probably made the trip at least 3 times this year already.
The Jaguar dealer charges about 300 to do the inspection. I think that's reasonable.

If I am correct in recalling, that the roof cannot be lowered when the temperature < fixed number. Our 3 friends at TG USA found this out here:

That Salsa R sold for $67k with <6k miles - nice car, but they wouldn't cooperate with having the car independently inspected or return emails. Probably enough local inquiries where across the country was a hassle; no harm no foul.
Like most dealers all they know is the 'sign here/great deal/don't miss out' parrot call.
It is clear evidence now that great 2015 R examples can be had in the mid to high 60s.
I would expect depreciation to continue at a rate of about $800-$1000 monthly over the next two years.

It's black Sapphire Metallic. Black isn't an easy color but I took great care of it. The only problem was that BMW scratched the car by sending it through their carwash (even though I told them not to) the last time that I had it serviced. BMW made it right by paying me more than they initially quoted me to purchase my car. My service advisor made sure that the pre-owned department took care of me because they scratched my car. I hope that Jaguar takes care of me as well as BMW did. I always received excellent service.
