2008 Jaguar XJ Super 8 depreciation chart
I really love the restyled front end (smaller lower fender vent+running lights) of the 2008 XJ. But at $95000, I want to buy it when the depreciation has flattened out. Can someone advise/tabulate what the depreciation chart for this car would look like? I am guessing it'll be $40000 in 2011.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I bought a super clean 2000 XJ8 for $9,000 last July with 64,000 miles on it. I figure another ten thousand bucks put into it in the next four years, will give me a new rebuilt trans, new timing chains, at least one computer module, tires, and shocks, and maybe a gear box if it gets sloppy, and maybe new plugs. In 2000 they finally got the interior just right, and left the boxy quality of the center console in the dust, and also it has a beautiful dashboard line to it. They have kept the look all the way into the 2009 model, but the 2009 model does not have the wood, and the leaper on the hood is gone. (If I could have something from the 2009 model, I'd take the steering wheel). Anyway, my point is that after spending that money, I'll have most of what a new 2000 model has, which went for $54,000. I guess they figure if you have the big dough, then getting a rebuilt trans, etc. won't be that much for you. I think it's better to do it my way. For a while I was looking at late sixties Rolls Royces, but just in the last 2 years, the prices have gone up...while around 2006 you could get one for around 17,000. I wanted one because of the interior, but the Jag interior, especially black with all the wood, is gorgeous.
only 27000 miles still under warrenty awesome
the leaper is on the hood. not lile the current models
just keep on looking . search for 2006 xjs
The suspension creaks a bit too much even after proper lubing...
Had to replace my trans, but since I paid $9000. for the car last july with 64,000 on it, I'm still ahead...and god, that titanium color, the gals love it. (nightime lighting with a good wax job doesn't hurt either) Put twenty thousand miles in one year just goofing around on it. Having the bumper replaced from minor damage, as the body shops say it's the way to go, then gotta find some kind of bumper guards, as I can't stand watching the paint get chipped....
Love having a black interior with the wood...
Thanks. Retriever
