Good morning everyone,
Well I’ve had my eye on a F-Type for some time now. It seems my Mercedes has decided I should get one sooner than planned by flashing me some CELs recently.
It’s not an easy task finding one that fills the bill but I think I’ve managed to find the grail: a fairly new (mid-2018) Santorini Black P300 (no shame, it’s a lovely 4 cylinder, plenty quick enough) with less than 25000km on the clock.
Let’s hope my bank will now agree with this sound decision and off I’ll go!
In the meantime I’ve been wondering about the exact spec list, which seems only available through a Jag dealership (no luck on TOPIx). It has the new InControl Touch Pro which is eligible for the most recent update. However, original dealer told the seller they would have to charge around €200 to add CarPlay. Could it have something to do with a mandatory accessory missing that cannot be solved with just the free software update? Happy to pay, just wondering.
Anyway, fingers crossed now. I’ve enjoyed reading the forums, hoping to be contributing as well in the near future!
Take care
Max
Let’s hope I’ll be joining the family soon
Welcome, that looks great in black. I had the choice of a nearly new 2.0L or an older V6, but haven't regretted going with the smaller engine - more than enough power, and is a better handling car due to the lower weight over the front wheels.
How did you get on with CarPlay - did you end up having to pay extra?

Thanks guys. It is indeed plenty powerful enough and pretty nimble. Saving half the cost of the yearly road tax vs the V6 is the icing on the cake. I’ve got an appointment on the 12th Feb for the InControl upgrade but I haven’t been told of any cost when I called.
Looking forward to sunnier weather to enjoy it even better. I think I’ll never get tired of the sight of the spoiler in the rear view mirror!

Congrats, hope you get a lot of pleasure out of your ownership. There are some side-effects you need to watch out for though, the most obvious being a permanent mile-wide smile when driving!
