F-Type – when will I afford one…
Discussion
OK tongue in cheek title but I have planned to buy an F-Type coupe in 2 years but set my self a target of around £30k. I know that there are lot dependancies such as condition, mileage, market etc but I am being realistic that this would be possible in 2 years?
What do people think?
Cheers,
James.

Interestingly, I set my sights on an F-type 2 years ago, but was realistic in setting the budget at £40 K. That will now buy a mileage, basic spec car, but I ended up pushing my budget a bit higher and going for a very low mileage, high spec v8 convertible which have now had for 2 weeks and I'm absolutely loving.
I guess at some point hire mileage, basic cars will get down to £30 K, if and when they do they certainly will be value for money. They have a sharp drop over the last couple of years, but as they get older the drop shallows off. I think 2 years from now might well be a realistic point to aim for.

Yes, either later this year or early next year if you after a 3.0 V6. What do people think?

where did you hire it and what is the cost iof you do not mind saying it?
Not at all. It is a company called miles and miles based in Kensington. They have the S Coupe, S cabriolet and the R. Was tempted by the R but in reality would never buy one and that was limited to 100 miles a day where as the S is unlimited. I paid £180 + £20 to reduce the excess. Normal day rate is £300 but some days are 40% off hence the great rate.I was really impressed by the company although I will have to pick up in Kensington to get that rate! Both Sarah and James at the company were really great.
I am comparing a used v new F Type coupe at the moment. Over 2 years a new one will cost just over £20k on APP after discount and with the options I want compared to just over £26k for a used one.
Interestingly the GFV for the used car is £19,846 after 2 years. What I find odd is that Jaguar dealers are clearly propping the price of used cars up but the fact that it is now cheaper to own a new one than a used one is crazy.
Feels to me like a drop is coming.
