Hi from an F-Type New Owner in Waiting

[andrewclarke99]

Looks like my viewing of the 400 Sport is to be postponed. They are running on skeleton staff today and there is no one available for a test drive. I have had a few questions answered by them but its not like seeing the car in the flesh. I have found that photographs in the adverts can be very deceiving, especially when it comes to colour and condition.

To the 400 Sport owners.........is there any noticeable difference between the 400 and a regular 380 R-Dynamic? I am not really expecting any other than the trim levels seem to be higher with most items already included as apposed to being an option.

I don't have any PM from you with VIN......

I drove both before buying and performance wise there is nothing in it at all to me. I also had the P380 for a week last year when I was having the antenna replaced under warranty and again could not tell the extra 20PS. If you read the reviews the extra 20ps is up top and unless your really pushing on I doubt you'd ever notice it. I didn't... but I am a normal driver and NOT a self proclaimed driving god.

I chose a used 400 as with the options included it was cheaper than the 380 with options plus I liked the design pack it comes with. I think with an F-Type there is no right or wrong answer or engine or colour or spec. You pick what is right for you.

SimpleR, that was what I was kind of expecting. The reason for choosing the 400 for me is the options I was after are included so win win. As for the VIN, I have tried another way of sending a PM.. No idea who got the last one then haha

Can you let me know if it gets through to you this time? Failing that I could always just post on main post I guess

[simpleR]

@andrewclarke99 - PM'ed you back

[andrewclarke99]

Thanks SimpleR that is excellent. As for seats, they are advertised as 12 way with memory and the pictures reflect same. Thank you for all your time, really appreciate it

Deposit placed on the 400 Sport....get in there

[andrewclarke99]

There was signs of surface rust on rear cross member and mounts......they are now going to take care of that under warranty

Nice one Andrew. Good to see another 400 owner on here. We're a rare breed.
