#136 of 155 Re: Incredible car. Everything I expected, and more. [garyg5] by josephy Apr 14, 2006 (5:48 am)
Replying to: garyg5 (Apr 13, 2006 5:37 pm) GaryG, I'm not a convertible fan, so the coupe will be my choice. Hopefully that will keep the glare inside the cockpit to a min. Bizarre that the spoiler would fall off!   I sincerely doubt that any dealer is going to want to deal on this car for some time to come. Was reading in an earlier post that over 7,000 pre-orders had already been submitted...so the demand for the ride is going to be high, making negotiations difficult. But you should have gotten some free floor mats, at least!

Replying to: josephy (Apr 14, 2006 5:48 am) i agree, at least free mats!!! the coupe is my choice too, the disappearing screen seems to be a known issue they have already discovered is a weakness, all in all a beautiful, fast, stand out vehicle!!!

Replying to: garyg5 (Apr 14, 2006 5:58 am) I have just seen my 1st 07 Jaguar Coupe on the Road, its a real head turning its beautiful, and sexy car, I have to get it. I was going to get the 6 series BMW but now, I want this. My only worry is residual values on Jag's they are usually not so great. I'm looking to lease one. (business owner) BMW has great residuals. Any info on the residual value yet on the new XK. Are any members leasing one, and can give me some leasing info, so I have some idea?

Replying to: aprilnj (May 13, 2006 6:43 am) i dont know the numbers, residuals, but my dealer, whom i had bought 2 prior Jags, refused to deal, and said he was not happy with the rates & residuals, Jag was using to work deals. I know i walked away, after 4 very happy years in two different jags, and my new Porsche 997/911 will be here in June. I too am a business owner, i lease, but i do have a limit. I leased a Porsche with a 11K higher sticker, for a shorter term, for less monthly. I too wanted the 07 XK!!!!!

#141 of 155 Lease rates by shoes May 14, 2006 (1:05 pm)
I have a BRG coupe on order, but I talked lease rates today with my dealer and was pretty discouraged. It looks like the residuals are in the 47% range after 3 years, which isn't good. It sounds like a $1600/month payment for 36 months before taxes. Ouch. I hope these improve before my car arrives.
#142 of 155 Re: AVAILABLE OPTIONS FOR 07 XK COUPE [garyg5] by harold11 May 19, 2006 (5:13 pm)
Replying to: garyg5 (Mar 19, 2006 11:54 am) I also prefer the coupe, but it will not fit under my garage door machinery when the hatch is open. When open, the hatch is over 80 inches tall! I want to be able to load/unload the hatch area out of the weather and also not have to worry about someone accidentally hitting the open button for the hatch and having it bang into the garage door stuff.

Replying to: harold11 (May 19, 2006 5:13 pm) went to the dealer today, I def prefer the coupe looks totally different from rear, much sleeker lines. inquired about a lease, wow what a shocker 36 mos $1400? estimated residual of around $40,000 on a car with a sticker of $80,000? jaguar has to due something to compete with BMW. I love this car but its actually less expensive for me to buy it, then lease? now how can that make sense.I think im going to take a look a the BMW 6 Series, more HP and Im sure a better leasing deal..or Ill just hang a few months 2 see if the residuals up on this car, crossing fingers, love the new XK !
