Unhinged, looks like plenty of room for a squadron of f ftypes. You're skills will be needed in the dystopian electric driverless car future 3 years from now.

I love mine and will be keeping it. I am not going to bother with extended warranties either.

I didn't know you could get futures on a Post Office.

On the original topic, I'd encourage everyone on a lease to check out their buyout before rolling into a new car. As we all know, depreciation on these cars is steep - but, the lease pricing may have overly adjusted. I'm in buy-and-hold mode, myself.

Early V6 Base models are just coming off Lease here in Blighty. On a car costing £55k with a few extras, the price to keep it is a little under £30k. In % terms, is actually a pretty good residual value after 3 years for the UK.

Jaguar dealerships are advertising them at about £40k however. So buying it is starting to look tempting. I'm wondering what the dealership will offer though...

There's one in every crowd. Eh...Forum.

I buy futures on the Post Office all the time. It's called STAMPS and, yes, I still use them. Every now and then. Come to think of it - and in spite of my "supporting" the Postal Service one stamp, or package, at a time - perhaps I should be going short the Post Office?

Thanks for the idea uncheel! You're a genius.

+1. I bought $700 in forever stamps about 15 years ago. Now with mobile billpay apps and not having to send checks, I'll be able to pass those stamps on to the next generation.

I came off a very long-term relationship with a sports-car to buy the F-Type. I was always a bit unhappy that I wasn't "the first" in my last car, and since I fell in love and bought the F-Type as a long-term keeper I wanted it new, ordered to my exact specification (and I toured the factory after I ordered it).
I plan on keeping my F-Type as long as I'm able to drive it. Some day my kids will come for my keys and then I hope Jaguar has a self-driver that will keep the love alive. I'm not so worried about the fossil fuels, more about loosing my own abilities.
Of course, some other car could come along and steal my heart like the F-type did, but that's seems about as likely to me as another woman coming along to replace Wife 1.0
