380 mile 2017 F-type. LHD UK. Good price?

[Arne]

That is not a bad price for what seems to be a 2018 model (MY18).

The two most important things (in addition to price) are the cars history/condition, and how you like it (color, options etc).

Milage is a bit high to be only 14-15 months, but over some more years it will "even out", somewhat depending on how much you will use it. And the milage might be a reason for the reasonable price.

The challenge you meet is how to deceid without inspecting the car yourself. I don't have any good suggestions, other than make the arrangements to buy it, travel there, but don't make any full comitments till you have seen and test driven the car yourself.

Best of luck whatever you deceide.

Thank you. The seller has already sent all the papers from my first email sent. I will be asking him to show me a video of the car and I will ask about the ownership history. According to the ad it has been an employee car and is registered as 1 owner. So I assume it has been driven hard. But since it has warranty left I am not very worried about it. The worst thing that can happen is that I spend 300 pounds and go there and change my mind after seeing it. Yes I won't drive it so much if I buy it. I have an XJ already and the F-type will be a hobby car. So maybe 5000 km per year max.

SimpleR: if you have time I would appreciate a VIN check greatly: SAJDA1BEXJCK51543

[simpleR]

Only got mobile phone so screenshots instead of text today!

SAJDA1BEXJCK51543 was made for German market. MY18 spec.
It was made in Castle Bromwich (11th digit of VIN, C = Castle Bromwich UK, A = Solihul). The sequence number is 51543 which is close to mine so guess July 2017 it was made which matches PDI date.

H136 - Topic on here, still unsure what this is but affects all MY18 cars it appears
102A - New one to me but has no text but would be covered by Jaguar under warranty

Options
Seems to have all options for MY18 model year except this list (and TV receiver)

Unsure how you check finance history, any previous accident damage etc in Germany and no reg plate so cannot check internet for any evidence of the car. HTH

Thank you so much. According to the fahrzeugbrief (German registration certificate) it is from 10/25-2017. The car is manufactured month 6 but registered month 10 right? I am basing this on the picture. Right now the car is 45% cheaper than a brand new ordered from Sweden with the same spec.

[simpleR]

So manufactured in UK 15th June 2017. (Handy to know that as sequence number will help to date other MY18 cars).
PDI in Germany 30th August 2017
Registered on the road 25th October 2017

Seems logical when you factor in transportation and then finding a buyer.

Cannot help with internet history. UK cars seem to be sold with number plate attached which makes finding them on internet easy where they are tagged on photos on social media such as the vmax200 car or the Dubai one. Germany cars always seem to have them removed.

Yes German cars are without license plates when on sale. But so far the car seems interesting.

[vika01]

Car got sold today. I emailed and he said it just got a new owner. Unlucky.

However this one is similar but one year older.
If the seller can go down a bit I like this one too:

https://m.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.h ... irect&ps=0

VIN:SAJAJ63P6HMK36820
I assume it’s a 2016 MY? So compared to the previous one this one is too expensive.

@SimpleR would you help me with this one please?

Thank you. The seller says the warranty had 1 whole year left and I could pay to extend it but I don’t believe it until he proves it. The seller has seemed a bit unprofessional so far. However even though I don't like the panoramic roof it suits white well and looks good on this with the black rims etc. The red seats look amazing.

You absolutely have to have the panoramic roof with a white car - looks amazing!
Okay, I'm biased.
