Slightly misleading sorry, i got my car from chain a, a person went into dealer b and said chain a were giving 5% discounts can you match, dealer b said no and said person ended up at a jag dealer whom are part of chain a, my dad knows the sales guy who i spoke to yesterday whilst dad was mulling over a 5.0 xkr, on a side not the engine sounded fab!

Not sure i believe the tale tho?

B)what reduced delivery times?

Not many of us are seeing much evidence of either

Ah-ha, I see now!

Regarding the Jaguar...... we're a dual brand dealership, therefore if your Dad needs any help with the XKR then let me know

Two dealers have advised that original delivery times were lengthy. Both confirmed production shedules have recently been increased to reduce waiting times.

I'll believe it when my car arrives in February like I was told when I ordered and have heard sweet FA since

I believe that prices will begin to tumble quite quickly in about 6 months once all the speculators and the initial
enthusiasts like us are out of the market. I can also give you insight into depreciation. Purchased September Dynamic coupe£43800. Trade in against same spec hatchback £40000(March del) Car will have less than 2,000 miles on it.
I am doing this now as I believe that the cost to change can only increase.

I bought my car for $72k Canadian dollars (of course, including tax and floor mats). However, there was a young businessman in the dealership when I went to pick the car up, who offered to buy my car for more than I was paying for it.

That was 4 months ago. The supply situation is now worse, from what I am reading. So, you may want to consider another car, one that you will not have to wait so many months for. Then, in a few years, when there are used Evoques available, you could sell whatever you bought and buy a used Evoque.

Just a thought....

Yes, two lines of thought: 1 - demand is slackening now that the initial surge is over; 2 - demand is increasing as people see them on the street and say "want one".
