XF - Best residuals (what tosh)
Discussion

Why are Jag advertising that a car they havent even released yet has class-beating residuals?!! Firstly its just purely guesswork, and secondly its utter tosh. It'll be the same as all Jags and have very poor residuals. I dont think they're fooling anyone.
The stuff I saw about this was that the people who write the trade guides were predicting these residual values. It's these values that finance houses will use to work out the deals.Besides not all Jags have had poor residuals. When I bought my less than 18month old X300, a November 94 one. The residuals were class leading, the class was 7 series, and S class, 7 series traditionally have rocket fuelled depreciation and the 90s S class was hardly flavour of the month outside military dictatorships. Having said that, looking through all the guides the X300 was matching the best of the 5 series and continued to do so whilst it was a current model.
How the guides arrive at their projected future values, I have no idea. But that is I believe where this tosh comes from.

Yes they must have had some very expensive lunches with Mr Glass and Mr CAP.It's a tricky one, they are supposed to be restricting production and UK supply of the XF (relative to the S type) and thus rather hoping they don't have to discount to early on. Also IMHO the residuals of German stuff relies on the somewhat market-defying virtuous circle of self-fulfilling prophecy!
Jaguar aren't in the best of shape, so what have they got to lose by peddling this?
Residuals can be a bit misleading. The XF has a pretty comprehensive list of standard kit particuarly in Premium Luxury. Buy German though and a lot of those essential goodies (sat nav, bluetooth etc.) are expensive options.
The percential residuals are taken from the base price exluding extras so the Jaguar can often have better real residual value.
You could make an even stronger case for say a Lexus - but could you be seen in something so ugly

All cars, doesn't matter what, are worth 50% over 3 years. Maybe slightly more, maybe slightly less.
Like I stated in my post ref: to your XKR depreciation, Jag are changing their attitude to the way they sell. So you have a choice, in 3 years buy a SV8 XF for £28k or a 2.7D for £20k.

Worth remembering that for older cars the cost of running them becomes more relevant. So at 6 years old say, the gap between and SV8 (with £400 road tax don't forget) may not be worth much more than a 2.7D and possibly even less when the XF-R is launched and the SV8 is forgotten
The values of second handle models often don't line up with those of the new models at all. When we were looking for the misses MB, originally the 2nd hand price of the 3.2CDI was out of the budget, 3.2 & 4.3 petrols were cheaper 2nd hand, even though new the diesel was the cheapest of the 3. Also there was bugger all difference in the 2nd price of the 3.2 and 4.3. Yet new there was a 10 grand difference. We woz lucky, the rip off Britain campaign got into full swing and they dropped the new prices and the diesel new became an option. But 2nd hand I'd have gone for the V8 - it was the bargain.The same could easily happen with the Jag prices, the bigger petrol engines will always drop proportionally more than the bottom spec cars. The diesel will hold it's value best... they always do.
People who buy 2nd hand are much more likely to be interested in running costs. New cars are mostly for the money no object brigade. The bigger engined versions have much higher profit margins for the manufactures than the smaller engine ones. Particularly when it's the same engine, just with a smaller capacity. I bet the diesels actually cost more to make than the petrol models - but are often sold for less initially.

Try telling that to Kia owners.Like I stated in my post ref: to your XKR depreciation, Jag are changing their attitude to the way they sell. So you have a choice, in 3 years buy a SV8 XF for £28k or a 2.7D for £20k.
