Yes I've had a similar email from 2 dealerships RS except there was no mention of "over market value" one dealer offered £35000....... And the other £40000, which wasn't bad taking into account the price I paid in March for it, but £35000 was not in the running.

Also 670 for sale on Pistonheads, would certainly think about it if I received an "over market value" offer from a dealer.

RS, who is your dealer, I would be interested in that offer. What I have been offered in the last week makes me think I should keep it another 18 months as I don't think it would loose much more. I have noted a couple of dealers have got 14 plate high end Evoques on the forecourt for more than they cost new - if only!

Tony, glad you enjoyed the Jag F Type - I did too and would have bought one instead of the Evoque had they then sold them with AWD. I see in Autocar that both V6's will be available with AWD and a manual gearbox "to widen the appeal of the car". The manual gearbox is to make it feel "more sporty"................. even with the 8 speed ZF box it's dammed fine sports car! Problem is that the AWD is £4800 extra and now the auto-box is an £1800 extra as of January I believe, but the price range of the car is also lower, a V6 (the lower powered one) in base form (manual and RWD) will start at £51000 for the coupe, so not far from a very high spec Evoque (and probably less once you get "incentives" to buy one as they are very slow sellers apparrently, like all Jags these days).

Tim, a manual gearbox interests me about as much as wind-up windows of old! We really need a coupe as the boot on the convertable is little more than a second glovebox. As the convertables suffer dire depreciation they are attractive second hand, this morning I found one with 390 miles on the clock, late 14 plate, V6S with some extras, discounted to £58k, thats around £14.5k off list. Tempting if I can move the Evoque on at a decent price. AWD would be much prefered but I would need to wait and buy a year old one - not sure I can wait. As a sensible alternative I am looking for a nice MG RV8 which should go up in value - at least better than an ISA, and I can maintain it myself.
