Jaguars have bad resale because of perceived reliability and because of being a luxury car. I'll add an F Type R when I can get one under thirty, which will happen. Many Jaguar owners do this strategy of waiting. I'm also guilty of this, I'm trying to decide if my next car will be an XKR-S or an F-Type SVR. The reality is, Covid notwithstanding, Jaguar all by itself sells a ballpark figure of 200,000-230,000 cars per year. Porsche only manages to beat that by a little bit (relatively speaking) at ballpark 250,000-275,000 per year. All the other comparable brands that haven’t “muddied their brand” so to speak, sell far less. iFonzie • 2 hr. ago. Without any details provided, I would say you should probably be making "enough to afford it". I was making about $40k a year when I bought mine, and put down $55k. Expect to spend $2k in maintenance costs and $3k on insurance. You will likely drive more often so expect to spend more on premium fuel. To get a Porsche with similar specs to the base Jag, you’re looking at at least $120k, and that’s before we get to the F-Type R. The F-Type R, with 575 horsepower, 575 lb ft of torque starts around $103k - to come close to that level of power in a Porsche, you’d need the 911 Turbo (which only has 572 horsepower incidentally) and starts at Hi, I'm looking to purchase a 2016~17 BMW F80/82 or a 2016~17 V6 Jaguar type F( base model or the s variant). Reddit iOS Reddit Android Reddit Premium About The F Type is more special, sounds better, and (subjectively) looks better. I’ve owned one - a ‘15 V8S. It’s fantastic. That being said you better REALLY be sure about the quality of that warranty. It’s gonna spend a lot of time in the shop. I haven’t owned a C7, but it’s one of my least favorite Vettes, lookswise. According to several review sites they are very reliable. This is stark contrast to the Jaguar reputation. 2010 xfr owner. The car has been great! Bought with roughly 100k km (60k miles) and now have 145k km on her. Car has been great. Sum of repairs are 1 dead fuel pump relay and 1 gasket for the vacuum pump (small oil leak) and the coolant They are very reliable. They share a block with the 5.0L AJ-V8, just with only 6 cylinders bored. As such, they have the same oil pan, oil capacity and cooling system as the supercharged V8 (was done to save production cost). So the oiling and cooling system is over built for a 3.0L V6. The only weak point is the coupler on the Eaton Supercharger. Hey all, I’m a little ways away from being able to pull the trigger, but have wanted an F Type for a long time now. Could afford the car before but not the potential maintenance, thinking in the next year or so I might look into one due to that changing. I test drove the supercharged V6 model and it was an absolute blast. The V8 sounds loud and harsh compared to the harmonic V6, the RWD GT roots are lost, the heavy car is even more overweight, and although all variants of the F-Type is far from being a "pig", the car starts to feel like lipstick on a pig. 3. 0000000127 • '11 M3, '03 S2000, '14 E63 Wagon • 6 yr. ago.
