F-Pace SVR arrives next week - new cheaper than used
Discussion
After a few great pieces of advice on here, my Jag F-Pace SVR arrives next Thursday, a few years of V8 lunacy before we're forced down the electric route.
I know there are a few owners on here, any particular tips on ownership? (apart from buying an oil refinery/getting to know my local petrol station owner).
Was looking for a c12mth old car, but ended up getting a brand new one for less than most used ones. Dealers are certainly in a trading mood.

Very nice 
We were toying with an F-Pace at the start of the year, albeit the V6 petrol as sadly the SVR is a little out of budget. Didn't go for it in the end with fuel prices on the way up, but every so often I'll see one and get tempted again.
Make sure you come back with pictures and maybe a write up once you've had it a bit.

Very nice op sure you’ll love it! I really like them, not as big as an RR, sound fantastic but way out of my budget unfortunately. What spec did you go for? I know it got slated on here but I actually really liked that limited edition purple one 
Thanks - I liked the Ltd one too, just not at £100k!As for Spec:

Love mine, I'm sure you'll have a blast with it. One thing that has just changed with the latest Pivi Pro update is that you can assign the stop/start disable function to the user favourites button on the steering wheel - saves having to go through the on-screen menu every trip.cayman-black said:
Congratulations Julian. I have just started looking at these to replace my RRS SVR as I find them excellent value compared. The new interior is as good as the new RRS which has just been released and all the reviews are just excellent.
Please post some pictures when you get it.
Absolutely wil!Please post some pictures when you get it.

Last time I checked, due to chip shortages, you could not have head up display, 360 camera system or the digital dash. Is this still the case? Might explain why used examples are holding their value so well

We looked at other marques (Bentley, Maserati, Aston) But realised, My dad would be better off sticking with Jagaur as the controlls are familier to him. Have a demonstrator at the mo and It Is a beast of a car. Very impressed with it so far.
I've never owned such a Jekyll and Hyde car. Wafting mile musher one minute, fire-breathing entertainer the next.reddiesel said:

How have you found the Dealerships Julian ?Sales departments were variable, some very good, some a bit crap. Same as anywhere, probably better than the Germans though. Collection was all good, but difficult to see how a main dealer could mess that up!
Lets see how service one goes....!

Be interested to know in the New Cheaper than used details. I currently have a Macan that 6 days before its warranty ended threw a load of sensors, phew, but its getting on and I have had my head turned.
I have been looking at some nearly new SVR's online, yet to go and see any though, definitely want the latest iteration, just don't know whether I am mad or not.
This was last September, it was also just as MY22 cars were being replaced by MY23 in showrooms, but I got a brand new car, list price of just over £89k for £75k, admittedly with a lot of haggling, choosing a dealer that had 3 MY22s in their showroom, and I had to get 4 trains over 5 hours to get there!...but this was at a time when most sub-6 month old cars were north of £80k.

On the car, do it. It's incredible, I'm now 4,000 miles and I still love every inch of it. Definitely get the facelift, the interior is amazing (it's essentially the new RR/RRS interior).
Fuel consumption is poor, but better than I thought. I'm averaging late-teens (by OBC), even cold engine 2 miles school runs are north of 10mpg. Steady motorway cruises see north of 30mpg. All stats are better than the Alfa Guilia Quadrifoglio that I had beforehand.
I looked at a Macan (and others), they are all very good cars and I can see the argument as to why many of them are technically superior, but that car, than package and that engine are just stunning.

Thanks Julian, really helpful. They have softened a fair bit, the one I went to see today was a late 2021 (New Interior) done 9000 miles and was up for £68k.
You're not wrong about the Macan, the head says just get a newer one with the shiny new interior, but reality is, spending what will be more money on the same thing I can't quite get my head over the line on that one. Plus the earlier Macans I think a nicer design than the new ones.
Yes, they have softened a bit, encouraging not hugely though. I did a spreadsheet and tracked prices in July/Aug last year (a spreadsheet...I am a nerd)You're not wrong about the Macan, the head says just get a newer one with the shiny new interior, but reality is, spending what will be more money on the same thing I can't quite get my head over the line on that one. Plus the earlier Macans I think a nicer design than the new ones.
I tracked two 21-reg 2021 SVRs, both with a reasonable spec. One was 18k mileage, the other 9k. The 9k was £73,900 and dropped to £72,500. The 18k one was £71,000.
The 22-plate ones started at £77,000 and rose to £83,500 - hence why I snapped their hands off for a brand new 72-plate at £65k
Totally get your comments on Macan and buying the 'same car' - but they are lovely cars. A good friend has just got a Macan T and loves it, beautiful car. Another got a GTS in August and it's stunning, but it was well north of £80k.
Just don't drive the V8 unless you want to get hooked

£65k? Thats a lovely discount, and at that money new, I'd have to say a no brainer. I have just been to pick up the Macan after its had its work done, I mean just having it totally valeted makes a huge difference doesn't it.
I think I have pinned down to two though after having a good look around.
Heart says get the Jag you mad b
d, head says, switch up to a Panamera Sport Turisimo as that's also a lovely thing to be in.
£75, not £65!! Sorry.I think I have pinned down to two though after having a good look around.

d, head says, switch up to a Panamera Sport Turisimo as that's also a lovely thing to be in......the Sport Tourismo is equally stunning!
