F-Type residuals....

[ILoveMondeo]

Having a bit of an idle dream...

When am I going to be able to get a V6-S or V8 f-Type for £25k....

4 years? longer?

Most Jags seem to shed their values at an alarming rate, as do other big luxury cruisers and GTs... similar for the sporty little fellas or do we think they'll cling on in there a bit better?

Obviously, complete speculation at this point!

Just quoting what was told me by the ADAC here in Germany, as I was seriously thinking of buying one, they said "we expect the F-Type to have an immediate 35% drop in value as soon as it's registered, and up to 50% in the first year"
Working on that basis the car'd be worth nothing as soon as I'd driven 30K km, or perhaps the ADAC is just trying to bolster flagging german car sales?
Not happy with their reply!!

BTW my S-Types residuals fell horrendously in the first year 10 years ago, so perhaps there's some truth in it!

No too different to other barges and luxury cars.. etc though..

my A8 was over 60k new. cost to me at 3 years old and 36k miles.. £20k...

However there seems to pretty big interest in these at the moment and if the second hand demand is strong I guess that'll keep the values high.

As for those bemoaning the small boot... really? I'm a little confused, There's plenty of sports cars with utterly useless boots out there, I can think of more with tiny storage than I can with anything you could get a set of golf clubs in or enough gear to go camping for a week. I'd suggest an estate if "lots of storage" is a priority!

Will be interesting to see if the love affair with these continues or if it fizzles out..

IMO it's £10-£15k overpriced to start with...
