No problem, tufts. Jaguar is currently providing $6,000 dealer cash on 2006 S-Type R models that are leased through Jaguar Credit. The price that you were quoted is $8,671 below MSRP, which sounds good at first. However when one takes the $6,000 dealer cash and the fact that a base '05 S-Type R has a spread of $5,340 between its full MSRP and dealer invoice price into account, this deal is not as attractive. It is probably at least $2,669 over invoice for a leftover model that consumers aren't beating down showroom doors for in the first place. I would try to negotiate a lower selling price if I was in your situation.

#30 of 68 Leaseing used jags by bikeswimrun

Feb 18, 2006 (12:23 pm)

my dealer has MANY 02 and older S and X types. Is it possible to lease these and if so, what are the residual values like? I noticed in the previous post that there was $6k dealer cash on new ones but cannot find this in the Edmunds incentives and rebates section. Is this incentive still out there for 06's?

#31 of 68 S-Type 2006 Lease with X-plan by timj

Feb 28, 2006 (8:06 am)

My wife is a X-plan member because of her employer, which allows us to purchase a Jaguar at 4% above invoice without negotiations. A S-Type with the options we want has an invoice price of $46,974 plus the 4% mark up of $1,990 for X-Plan members totalling $48,964. However, I am not sure if this is a good deal based on discussions within this forum regarding the poor sales of Jaguars. In additional the dealer is offering $2,000 lease cash, which basically offsets the 4% markup of the X-Plan reducing the price to $46,964. Do you recommend going with the company's X-plan or attempting to negotiating a price without mentioning the plan. Considering the current sales and lease cash, what price above invoice is fair and reasonable for a dealer. Also, there are 4 Jaguar dealers in a 50 mile radius of my home.

"Jaguar is currently providing $6,000 dealer cash on 2006 S-Type R models that are leased through Jaguar Credit. "
 
I see only $1,000 listed (on Edmunds = loyalty) on the 2006.
Did you mean 2005?
Thanks,

Hey bikeswimrun. Many manufacturers, I believe including Jaguar, have lease programs for Certified Pre-Owned vehicles. The problem with leasing used vehicles is that automakers usually provide much less lease support on them, if any, than they provide on new vehicles. As a result, used vehicles are often as expensive to lease, or even more so, than equivalent brand new models. This is why it is extremely important to compare the cost of leasing a new vehicle to the cost of leasing a used one when you are considering the latter.
 
I don't believe that Jaguar's cash incentives on 2006 X- or S-Types have reached the $6,000 level yet. Perhaps the post that you read was referring to a 2005 model.

Hi timj. I would not be surprised at all if you were able to negotiate a selling price that is well below 4% over invoice on the S-Type that you are interested in. Jaguar sales have been extremely poor lately. Many Jaguar dealers are probably willing to cut pretty skinny deals on S-Types right now. You might as well see how good a deal you can negotiate on your own. The fact that you have a whopping four Jaguar dealers so close to your home definitely will work to your advantage during negotiations. If you can't beat the X-Plan price, you can always play that card out when you need it.

Oops sorry about that, Ray. I meant the 2005 S-Type R.

#36 of 68 how eager to deal a 2005 by bikeswimrun

Mar 20, 2006 (3:54 pm)

a dealer in my state has a 2005 S type. Is it possible to get this car at $6000 below invoice since that is what Jag was offering dealers as an incentive? With a MSRP of $52K and a purchase price of $42K what would be the lease payments for not more than 36 or 39 months? I have been quoted money factors on new (06) X-types in the .0003 range (less than 1%). Are the incentives on '05s Jag offered before still available to the dealer so that they could cut the price that much?

Hi bikeswimrun. Jaguar is currently providing $4,000 dealer cash on S-Type 3.0L and $6,000 on 4.2L models. This dealer cash can be combined with Jaguar Credit's special lease program. On top of this dealer cash, Jaguar is providing a $2,200 cash incentive on leases of '05 S-Types through Jaguar Credit. I suspect that you will be able to get an '05 S-Type for dealer invoice minus these incentives without too much difficulty right now. Are you interested in the 3.0L or the 4.2L model? If you let me know I'd be happy to estimate what your lease payment should be on it.

Intereting.
I need to check - but last I knew, no Atlanta area dealers still had 2005s . .
