Is it just me or do Jaguar XFR's seem ridiculously good value for what they are or am I missing something ?

Look at this one for example

They certainly are good value. If I'm not mistaken, that particular car belongs to a PHer, who has a new one on the way.

I'd rather have an M3 personally. The jag will be worth 5p in the not too distant future, it doesn't look good value at all to me.

The Jag is more of an M5 competitor than an M3 competitor.

I'd rather have an F40.

Jag seems like a great buy, when the time comes to moving my 5 series this will be on the list.

They are good value and as said more of a 5 series / e class competitor.

I just bought a fully loaded one as I needed a bigger car and something fun. The image might not suit everyone but I would be surprised if anyone doesn't enjoy driving it.

I thought what I bought was good value.

M3 DCT are going for little money now, c63 also starting to loose their higher value. If I didn't need that extra bit of space the m3 is a great buy but also cheap on finance.

But I agree xfr and old m5 / m6 all massive performance bargains.

I don't think the xfr will depreciate that much. It's still a rare car on the s/h market but over time people have realised it is an m5 competitor, as good as. I watched the market before I bought and well priced ones go immediately. Providing there is still demand I reckon it won't loose much more than 3k per year, slowing to 2k.

With the f type coming and the new xk the jaguar brand has a lot more to look forward to. The brand is defiantly change and if it carries on it could help prop up second hand values.

I guess it might be the fact they're butt ugly that causes the depreciation? hehe

Values dropping like a stone and even two years from now this £29K car is going to be a sub £10K car. Not good value and as mentioned pretty hideous looking thing which doesnt help.

I wouldn't say they are butt ugly, but they are extremely bland. They don't look too dissimilar from the new MG saloon! And the interior would give a modern Audi a run for it's money in the dullness stakes. It must have hidden charms.

You are missing something
almost all big saloon cars are worth fk all second hand, there is nothing ridiculously good here, it's fairly standard depreciation for that type of car
