XK8/R Waiting lists in early days
Discussion
Hi,
Does anyone have an idea of the size of the waiting lists (if any) on the launch of the XK8/R back in 1996?
My reason for asking is that currently the XK's sit at around 50% retained value after 3yrs. This is compared to around 70% for 911's and probably 90% for the new AMV8 when it arrives!
I wanted to know whether the new XK out next year, will see the same 50% depreciation, or whether you will see it holding value like a porsche, due to waiting lists for new ones?

But if buying the new Jag, I would hope that lots of people want it hence creating more demand than supply, hence waiting lists, hence very good residuals whilst the production catches up. I imagine this must have been the case early on in the current XK8's days, but need to find out from a dealer I guess.
I dont really want to shell out £70k for a Jag and it only be worth £35k in 3yrs, when I could spend the same on the Aston and it be worth £65k after 3 years, due to their still being people desperately wanting one.
